Page 6: System Description
System Description The SPM301 is compact NIR spectrometer operating in the 1000-3000nm range. The spectrometer features a 256 pixels PbS array detector spectrometer (SM301), a broad band tungsten-halogen light source, and a cuvette holder. This instrument is usable in a wide range of applications requiring fast measurements. -
Page 7: System Overview
The PbS array spectrometer is based on a crossed Czerny- Turner configuration and consists of an entrance slit, a gold coated collimating mirror, a grating, a gold coated focusing mirror a gold coated bending mirror, and 256 pixels PbS array detector. The detector array is thermoelectrically cooled ensuring long-term operating stability. -

SPM301. Open the software (SM32Pro for SM301) on your computer. NOTE! It is recommended to leave the system for 30 minutes to warm up the light source completely. 2. Open the main cover of the SPM301 to put the cuvette sample. - Page 13 3. Place the reference (empty) cuvette in the “REF” slot. 4. Place the sample cuvette in the “MEA” slot. 5. Move the cuvette holder to the dark position to block the light and execute the detector balancing and the dark scan on the software.

Page 14: Measurement With Software
Measurement with Software The SPM301 is ready to measure the data. Before carrying out the measurement on the software, the initialization has to be done first, which is the detector “balancing”. Please refer to the software manual for the details. - Page 15 3. Signal Saturation Checkup. Move the cuvette holder to the “REF” position and check up the signal level. No signal has to be saturated in the full range. If the signal is saturated at any wavelength, you need to adjust the integration time and run the balance in the “dark condition”...
- Page 16 5. Reference Scan. Move the cuvette holder to the “REF” position where the reference cuvette is located and click the “Ref Scan” toolbar button on the software. This is to set the “100%” transmittance. If you have any reference sample that you know its transmittance, you can set this reference transmittance on the reference scan dialog box.
- Page 17 8. Close. When you finished all measurements, close the software first and then turn off the spectrophotometer power switch. You can unplug the USB cable or leave it plugged on your computer. Without the power switch on, the computer won’t recognize the SPM301.
