Agilent 8453 UV-visible Spectroscopy System Operator’s Manual 17
Introduction to Your System 1
Agilent 8453 Spectrophotometer — Overview
• The GPIB connector is used to connect the spectrophotometer with a
computer. The 8-bit configuration switch module next to the GPIB
connector determines the GPIB address of your spectrophotometer. The
switches are preset to a default address recognized by the operating
software from Agilent.
Only a single controller must be connected to the spectrophotometer at a
time.
• The MIO board slot is reserved for a LAN interface board.
• The accessory board slot is reserved for future use.
• The power input socket does not have a voltage selector because the power
supply has wide-ranging capability, for more information see your Service
Manual Chapter 1 “Specifications”. There are no externally accessible
fuses, because automatic electronic fuses are implemented in the power
supply. The security lever at the power input socket prevents that the
spectrophotometer cover is taken off when line power is still connected.
Side of the Spectrophotometer
On the right side of the spectrophotometer is a double door for access to the
lamps. For exchanging lamps both doors, the plastic door and the sheet-metal
door must be opened. Safety light switches are automatically turning off the
lamps when the inner sheet metal door is opened.
