USB-ISS-UV/VIS Integrated Sampling System
USB-ISS-UV/VIS Integrated Sampling System
The USB-ISS-UV/VIS Integrated Sampling System is a direct-
attach 1 cm cuvette holder and UV/VIS/NIR light source (200-
1100 nm) combination created specifically for use with the
USB2000 Spectrometer. The deuterium tungsten light source
receives control instructions via the 10-pin Accessory Connector
on the USB2000 Spectrometer.
The USB-ISS-UV/VIS also contains a built-in cooling fan. Thus,
due to the increased power requirements of the light source, the
USB-ISS-UV/VIS requires a separate 5-volt power supply
(included with the USB-ISS-UV/VIS).
Follow the instructions below to properly configure and use your
USB-ISS-UV/VIS Integrated Sampling System.

Parts Included

The USB-ISS-UV/VIS Integrated Sampling System ships with the following components:
USB-ISS-UV/VIS miniature deuterium tungsten light source
5-volt DC power supply
SMA Collimator (Part # 74-DA) for USB2000 SMA coupling

Warnings

The light beam emitted from the USB-ISS-UV/VIS contains ultraviolet radiation and can
cause eye damage. Always use safety goggles when working with this product.
Dangerous voltage levels are present, and there are no user-serviceable parts. Do not
open the unit.
The USB-ISS-UV/VIS has an internal high voltage power source. Thus, you should not
adjust the unit while power is connected to the unit.
Warnings
Contact Ocean Optics for bulb replacement.
Do not use this instrument for any clinical or diagnostic measurements.
Dropping the unit can cause permanent damage. Handle with care.

Using the USB-ISS-UV/VIS

Do not connect the USB-ISS-UV/VIS to the USB2000 Spectrometer without following the configuration
instructions on the next page. Furthermore, ensure that the OOIBase32 software is installed on your PC and that
the USB2000 Spectrometer is obtaining data before connecting the USB-ISS-UV/VIS.
Follow the instructions on the next page to configure and use the USB-ISS-UV/VIS:

  • Page 2 5. Connect the USB cable to the USB2000 Spectrometer and to the PC. The USB-ISS-UV/VIS turns both the UV and VIS lamps on by default when power is connected to the unit. However, the UV lamp may take up to two minutes to start, depending on how long it has been inactive.
  • Page 3 On older USB2000 Spectrometers, the SMA 905 connector may be slightly off the central optical axis. While this has no effect on fiber optic coupling, it will affect the lens type coupling of the USB-ISS-UV/VIS. Visible light may be clipped early (750-800 nm) in some cases. In transmission and absorption experiments, this may cause an artifact in this region (when measuring a cuvette of liquid) after taking an open-air reference.
