3.5 ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER CONNECTIONS
Before powering up the system for the first time, it is suggested to have a qualified electrician
verify the wall socket to be used with the instrument meets the requirements for operation as
noted.
Before making any electrical connections, verify the front panel power switch is in the off position
for the monochromator.
To avoid electric shock, connect the instrument to properly earth-
grounded, 3-
prong receptacles only. Failure to observe this
precaution can result in severe injury or death.
The line voltage requirement is as follows:
Monochromator Power Adapter 100 to 240 VAC, 47-63 Hz
The monochromator conforms to CE standards for both safety and EMC. During normal use, this
equipment will not pose any electrical hazards to the user. Read all warnings before installing or
operating this system. If there are any questions or concerns, contact Oriel Instruments or the
regional sales representative for Newport.
Never attempt to open the lamp power supply or monochromator
power adapter. These items do not contain any user serviceable
parts. Failure to follow this warning can result in severe injury or
death.
The monochromator’s power adapter connects to an AC wall socket and supplies DC voltage to
the instrument. Do not open the monochromator cover and attempt to work inside without first
turning the instrument off and disconnecting the power cord from the AC mains.
The ribbon cable connecting the monochromator to the optional model 74010 filter wheel is
installed before the system ships out. The monochromator provides power to the filter wheel and
allows the user to select which filter is placed in the optical path.
Ensure the monochromator power switch is in the off position (marked as O). Then connect the
power adapter to the monochromator, as shown. Insert the power cord provided into the power
adapter and connect to the AC mains.
Connect the USB, RS232 or GPIB cable to the monochromator. Plug the other end of the USB
cable into the computer only after the TracQ Basic software is installed.
