FieldSpec spectroradiometer front-view showing fiber connection and power
output.
The remaining portion of the shipping case is designed to hold the various
accessories you may have purchased with your instrument. There are specific
locations for the contact probe, mug light, Spectralon, battery pack, and
miscellaneous power cables.
The fiber cable should never be stored with a bend of less
than a 5" diameter for long periods of time, because the
cable can be damaged with undetectable longitudinal
fractures that can cause light leakage and weaker signals.
The FieldSpec spectroradiometer requires input power to be 12 VDC (50 W).
It does not contain an internal power supply to convert AC voltage to DC, nor
does it have internal batteries.
The three options for providing the spectroradiometer with the appropriate
DC voltage are:
• An external power supply which converts 90-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz to
12 VDC (shown in Figure
• An external battery pack which delivers 12 VDC (shown in
• An external adapter for vehicle cigarette lighters (sold separately and
should not be used with vehicle engine running).
Do not attempt to use non-ASD power supplies or
connectors to power in the instrument.
