HG-1 Mercury Argon
Calibration Light Source
Installation and Operation Instructions
Description
The HG-1 Mercury Argon Calibration Source is a wavelength calibration source for UV-VIS-
Shortwave NIR spectrophotometric systems. The HG-1 produces Mercury and Argon lines from 253-
1700 nm, and is an ideal lamp to use when performing fast, accurate spectrometer wavelength
calibrations.
The HG-1 features an SMA 905 Connector for interfacing with our optical fibers. It operates with a 12
VDC power supply (included with the unit) or 9V battery (not included).
The following sections detail the features of the HG-1 Mercury Argon Calibration Light Sources.

HG-1-CAL Installation and Operation Instructions Note The HG-1 is NOT designed to operate as an excitation source in your experiments. Spectral lines above 922 nm are not easily detectable by Ocean Optics spectrometers. Parts Included The HG-1 package includes the following items: ... - Page 3 HG-1-CAL Installation and Operation Instructions Alternately, you can use a 9-volt battery (not included) to power the HG-1. Open the battery hatch of the HG-1 and install the 9-volt battery, and then proceed to Step 2. an entrance slit, use a 50 m diameter (or smaller) fiber. Larger fibers and slits result in 2.
