Chapter 1 Setup Overview The HL-2000-CAL Halogen Calibrated Light Source for the VIS-Shortwave NIR (300nm-1050nm) is a tungsten-halogen light source that provides known absolute intensity values at several wavelengths, expressed in µW/cm²/nm. Since the spectral intensity of the HL-2000-CAL can be traced to an intensity standard provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), it is specifically designed for calibrating the absolute spectral response of your system.
1: Setup Unpacking the HL-2000-CAL ► Procedure 1. Unpack your lamp assembly and power supply carefully. Although the lamp is rigidly mounted, dropping this instrument can cause permanent damage. 2. Inspect the outside of the instrument and make sure that there is no damage. Do not use the instrument if damage is present.
1: Setup Connecting a Spectrometer to the HL-2000-CAL ► Procedure Use the following procedure to connect your HL-2000-CAL unit to a spectrometer: 1. Loosen the set screw on the HL-2000-CAL's SMA connector 2. If using a bare fiber with the lamp: Remove the inner barrel from the SMA connector (if using a bare fiber with the lamp).

1: Setup • One file has the calibration numbers when calibrating the spectral response of your system with the lamp and a CC-3 cosine-corrector and fiber. The file name contains the lamp serial number, followed by CC3.LMP. 2. Copy these two files into your OOIIrrad Irradiance Software directory. 3.
Chapter 2 HL-2000-CAL Specifications This section provides information on the operating environment and specifications of the HL-2000-CAL. Operating Environment The following table provides information on optimizing the operating environment of your HL-2000- CAL. Operating Environment The HL-2000-CAL Unit . . . Moisture Is designed for operation in dry rooms only.
Chapter 3 Calibration Performing Calibration ► Procedure Follow the instructions below to calibrate a spectrometer using the HL-2000-CAL: 1. Click on the Spectrometer menu and select Calibrate, then select the channel to calibrate. A dialog box opens with the message “Verify lamp was ON for at least 15 minutes for a REFERENCE scan.”...
