Safety Features
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
CAUTION
There are no user-serviceable parts for this equipment.
Light Source
Do not stare directly into the open port located in the front door panel when the

discomfort similar to that of staring at a camera flash.
Power
CAUTION
Disconnect power before servicing.
The power cord supplied with the unit must be used.
Feature Summary
These instruments employ state-of-the-art features including the spectrometer, integrating
sphere, light source, and optics. Below is a summary of those features:
FEATURE DESCRIPTION PURPOSE/BENEFIT
Integrating sphere
Barium coated sphere. Industry standard.
Measurement
Geometry
D/8º geometry, Specular
Component Included (SCI) or
Excluded (SCE).
Provides for more uniform
measurement of samples with
irregular surfaces.
SP2000 Spectral
Analyzer

sample channels.
Dual channel design provides
continuous monitoring of sample
illumination and compensates for
changes. 256-photodiode array
enhances the precision of the
measurement.
Light source
Pulsed xenon flash lamp Filtered to provide D65 illumination
including UV component.
Effective
Bandwidth
5nm or 10nm Based on reporting interval.
