Quick Start Guide for i-Raman®Pro/i-Raman®Prime
1. Connect a 12VDC input external power supply to the unit. The 5-pin 12VDC
adaptor and the AC power cord are included in the shipment package.
1.1. Make sure that the 5-pin connector is aligned with the pin-socket on the unit.
1.2. Connect the other side of the adapter with the AC power cord. Turn on the power
adaptor switch. A green indicator will be turned on.
2. Check back panel.
2.1. Make sure that the interlock is plugged in. To mate the interlock plug and
receptacle: align two red dots in one line. Gently push the plug into the receptacle until
you hear a “click” sound, which suggests the locking finger is now locked into the
locking groove located inside the receptacle.

To remove the interlock plug: pull on the outer housing (NOT the cable or back nut),
which will cause the locking finger to disengage from the locking groove, and the plug
can be removed. When the safety interlock plug is removed from the system, all
electrical power to the laser will be turned off. The safety interlock MUST be inserted
before the laser can be turned on. Laser emission will stop if the interlock is removed
while the laser is on.
2.2 Make sure that the spectrometer connection switch is turned to down position
(internal connection) for onboard software operation. For external PC, the connection
switch should be turned to up position (external connection) and a USB2.0 cable
should be plugged in.
Align two red dots
