1. SEC2020 Spectrometer system 1. SEC2020 Spectrometer system The SEC2020 Spectrometer system is a compact spectrometer system developed by ALS Co, .Ltd and provided by BAS Inc. One unit can measure a wide wavelength range from ultraviolet to near infrared (UV/VIS/NIR) with high sensitivity, corresponding to optical measurements such as spectrum, absorbance, transmittance, reflectance , fluorescence, light source and concentration.
90 days from the date of shipment. This assumes normal usage under commonly accepted operating parameters. ALS agrees to either repair or replace, at its sole option and free of part charges to the buyer, any parts of such instrumentation which, under proper and normal conditions of use, prove to be defective within 90 days from date of shipment.
ALS will not be obliged, however, to replace or repair any piece of equipment which has been abused, improperly installed, altered, damaged or repaired by others.

Caution: Turning on the power switch before connecting the ligth source control trigger cable, it does not work properly. Please be careful to turn on the light source only after connecting the light source control trigger cable. Figure 3-5: Connection of the light source control trigger cable https://www.als-japan.com/...
SEC2023 Cuvette holder It is used to set the cuvettes and plate samples inside. It can also be connected to the collimator, fiber collimator or optical path, as well as the SMA905 adaptor for light shielding. Figure 3-7: Cuvette holder https://www.als-japan.com/...
It is an AC adaptor and Power cable for the SEC2022 Deuterium halogen light source. Power supply specification AC input range 100 – 240 V DC output range 12 V (max. 3.34 A) USB cable It is used for the connection of the SEC2021 Spectrometer to the PC. https://www.als-japan.com/...
For measurements using cuvette holders, the use of fiber collimator is recommended. In addition, you can adjust the focal position, by loosening the fixing screw using the supplied hexagonal wrench and sliding the inner cylinder. Fixing screw Fixing scrww Figure 3-10: Fiber collimator https://www.als-japan.com/...
Also, the two free cords, like the External device connection trigger cable, can control the spectrometer measurement with the operation of the external devices. Connect the black cord to the ground of the external device and the brown cord to the trigger out of the external device. https://www.als-japan.com/...
It is used for loosen of the fixing screw attached to the housing of the collimator lens, to adjust the focal position of the collimator lens. The 0.89 mm wrench corresponds to a collimator, and the 1.50 mm wrench corresponds to a fiber collimator. https://www.als-japan.com/...
Wavelength Calibration Data Sheet SEC2021 Spectrometer is calibrated at the factory before shipment, and low mercury lamp is used as the reference light source. In SEC 2020, calibration is carried out with higher degree polynomials using mercury's representative bright lines.
Set the thin film in the cuvette holder and measure the absorbance and transmittance.
