6  Attaching the Connector Adapter
Attach the optional connector adapter before using the instrument. 
 WARNING
Always turn the power OFF before replacing the connector adapter. The instrument 
has a built-in reference light source for wavelength calibration (when the built-in 
light source specification is -L1), and infrared light is always being output from the 
optical output connector. Never look into the optical output connector. Infrared light 
entering the eyes can cause severe injury and loss of vision.
 CAUTION
•  As there may be dust adhering to calibration output, be sure to clean it before 
attaching the connector adapter. 
•  Do not exhale or blow compressed air into the monochromator from the optical 
input. Doing so may allow dust or other materials to enter the monochromator, 
adversely affecting its optical performance. Also, if debris is adhering to the 
optical components inside the monochromator when a strong light source is 
input, the monochromator may be damaged. 
•  When attaching or removing the connector adapter, carefully insert it 
perpendicularly to the ferrule so as not to damage the ferrule end. 
•  Moving the connector adapter to the right or left or inserting it forcefully can 
damage the ferrule or the connector adapter.

 AVERTISSEMENT
Toujours éteindre l’avant de remplacer l’adaptateur de connecteur.
Cet instrument dispose d’une source de lumière de référence intégrée pour les 
ajustements d’alignement. La lumière infrarouge est toujours émise depuis le 
connecteur de sortie optique. Ne regardez jamais directement dans le connecteur 
de sortie optique. La lumière infrarouge risquerait de gravement vous blesser ou de 
provoquer une perte de vision.
