D-1000 Deuterium Light Source
The D-1000 DEUTERIUM LIGHT SOURCE is a high-output, high stability fiber optic light source optimized for the
UV. The D-1000 produces intense, continuous spectral output from ~200-400 nm, making it especially useful for
UV spectroscopy. The D-1000 has a highly stabilized microprocessor-based power supply designed for optimum
stability, with a maximum fluctuation of just 0.05% peak-to-peak and drift of +/- 0.5%/hr. The lamp can be
controlled from the switches on the front panel or through digital lines.
Parts Included
! D-1000 Deuterium Light Source
! Safety eyewear for protection against dangerous ultraviolet radiation
! Power cord for connecting D-1000 to outlet
! Allen wrench for adjusting the focus of the collimating lens
Caution!
The beam emerging from the D-1000 produces visible light and invisible ultraviolet radiation. Direct contact
with the beam could cause serious eye injury. Safety eyewear must be worn at all times while operating the
D-1000. Do not remove any safety device installed.
Dangerous voltages present. Only qualified service personnel should service the D-1000.
""
This instrument should not be used for any clinical or diagnostic purposes.
""
Handle with care. Dropping the D-1000 may cause permanent damage.
""
For optimum performance below 250 nm, use a solarization-resistant fiber with this lamp.
Operation
Allow 30 minutes for the lamp to warm up and for the power to stabilize. The spectral output as delivered by an
optical fiber will decrease significantly at wavelengths lower than 250 nm due to attenuation in the lamp envelope,
the decrease in detector efficiency in the spectrometer, and attenuation by the fiber.
1. Put on safety eyewear.
2. Lift the black protective shutter covering the fiber optic port. Remove the red plastic cap that covers the SMA
connector and install an optical fiber. (For best results, use our solarization-resistant fibers.)
3. Plug the power cord into the rear of the D-1000. Plug the other end into a 110 VAC outlet.
4. Locate the black power switch at the rear of the D-1000, just above where the power cord connects to the
D-1000. Turn on the power. When the power is on, the green Power On light located at the bottom right of
the front panel will light.
5. Push in the UV Start button located on the front panel. This white button turns on the deuterium lamp.
Pushing in the UV Start button initiates the start up sequence for the lamp. First, the heater in the deuterium
lamp ionizes the available deuterium. At this point, the yellow Heater On light on the front panel will light.
Next, after ~30 seconds, the red UV On light located at the top of the front panel will light. (The Heater On
light will turn off at the same time.) Once the red UV On light is lit, the deuterium lamp is ready for your
application. Best results are obtained after the lamp has warmed up for 30 minutes.
6. Without a solarization-resistant fiber, the spectral output will decrease significantly as a function of time at
wavelengths lower than 250 nm.
7. To turn off the deuterium lamp, first press the white UV Off button located on the front panel. Then, flip the
power switch at the rear of the D-1000, just above where the power cord connects to the D-1000. The green
Power On light on the front panel will go out.
