3.1 6500 & 6505 Comparison The models 6500 and 6505 share the majority of common sub- assemblies. However the 6500 is not fitted with the Deuterium Lamp power Supply PCB and of course the Deuterium Lamp itself. Because of this the optics and monochromator are slightly different, but in arrangement only.

640 133 Dust Cover 3.5 Outputs The 6500 and 6505 have analogue, RS232 and parallel centronics outputs. Details of the level of the analogue output for the different ranges that may be selected on the instruments is given in Section 6.3 of the Instruction Manual.

4.1 Light Sources The model 6500 uses a single Tungsten Halogen lamp to cover its full wavelength range of 320nm to 1100nm. The model 6505 uses the same Tungsten Halogen lamp with a ‘see through’ Deuterium lamp to cover its wavelength range of 190nm to 1100nm.

550nm and 1100nm to eliminate unwanted second order diffraction. 4.3 Grating The 6500 and 6505 optics use the same grating, this is a concave holographic grating with 1200 lines per mm Early units used an American Holographics grating but from serial number 2000 a Richardson grating was used for enhanced UV performance.
The output to solenoid 3 (UV (Second Order) Stray Light Filter) is via PL1 pin 3 and it is switched on when SK4 pin 14 goes high, this switches TR6 to make PL1 pin 6 low. Jenway 6500-05 Ser Man Page 25 of 105...

5.3 Detector Circuits Detectors and Amplifiers One of two photodiode detectors is fitted to the PCB, either a S1133 for the Model 6500 or the UV enhanced version S1337 for the 6505. The current through the detector is proportional to the incident light.

The mouse driver is based on an RS232 serial driver with power supplied via IC2. 5.6 Accessory Driver PCB Both 6500 and 6505 models are supplied with the standard Accessory Driver PCB fitted. This is capable of driving all internal sampling accessories. Supplies and controls are also available to drive external accessories such as the peltier/sipper accessory.
