Chapter 1
Setup
Overview
The DH-3PLUS Series of Light Sources for the UV-VIS-NIR (210nm-2400nm, depending upon
configuration) is a deuterium and halogen light source that provides known absolute intensity
values at several wavelengths, expressed in µW/cm²/nm. Since the spectral intensity of the DH-
3PLUS Series can be traced to an intensity standard traceable to the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST), it is specifically designed for calibrating the absolute spectral
response of your system.
Calibrated sources are guaranteed for the lesser of 50 hours of operation or 1 year from factory
calibration. Due to low usage for guaranteed calibration, they are not intended to be used as an
illuminant in day-to-day measurements.
Note
If you have a spectrometer setup that is highly sensitive, you may not be able to
use the DH-3PLUS Series as a calibration source.

The following sections provide instructions on unpacking and setting up your DH-3PLUS Series
Light Source.
Unpacking the DH-3PLUS Series Light Source
►Procedure
1. Unpack your lamp assembly and power supply carefully. Although the lamp is rigidly
mounted, dropping this instrument can cause permanent damage.
2. Inspect the outside of the instrument and make sure that there is no damage. Do not use
the instrument if damage is present.
3. Use this instrument in a clean laboratory environment (see

1: Setup
000-10000-191-02-201601 3
4. Operating Environment).
Contents
Your DH-3PLUS Series Light Source package should contain the following:
DH-3PLUS light source unit
Power cord
UV safety goggles
One IC-DB15-2 interface cable for shutter operation
Lamp Calibration Report for using the DH-3PLUS light source with a CC-3-UV-S cosine-
corrected irradiance probe
USB containing lamp calibration files
Uncertainty report for unit
Calibration certificate for unit
Allen wrench for adjusting the cosine corrector
Connecting a Spectrometer to the DH-3PLUS
Before using a DH-3PLUS Series light source for the first time, check for transport damage. Be
sure to adhere to all warnings on the unit and in this operational manual. Make sure you have
your DH-3PLUS light source, your spectrometer, a CC-3 cosine-corrected irradiance probe, and
Ocean Optics spectrometer operating software.
►Procedure
Use the following procedure to connect your DH-3PLUS light source to a spectrometer:
1. Loosen the set screw on the DH-3PLUS's SMA connector.
2. Screw the CC-3 cosine corrector onto the end of the fiber. The connection should be
tight. Insert the CC-3 all the way into the DH-3PLUS's SMA connector.
3. Tighten the setscrew on the SMA connector of the DH-3PLUS with an Allen wrench.
Connect the other end of the fiber into the SMA connector of the spectrometer.
4. Plug in the power cord.
5. Turn the unit on using the ON/OFF switch on the back of the light source.
6. Turn on the deuterium light and the halogen light on the front of the light source.
7. Allow the lamp to warm up for at least 15 minutes before using it. Place the DH-3PLUS
horizontally.
8. Insert the calibration USB drive that came with your light source into your computer. This
disk contains one ASCII file with the same information as the Lamp Calibration Reports
that came with your DH-3PLUS. The file name contains the lamp's serial number,
followed by CC.LMP. Copy these files to the desired directory on your computer.
9. Start your spectrometer operating software. See your spectrometer manual for
instructions on calibrating the spectrometer with the DH-3PLUS.

Tips
When you perform measurements with the calibrated spectrometer system,
record a new dark spectrum before each measurement. This minimizes the
influence of a shifted dark spectrum.
Use a log to monitor the operation time of the light source. Recalibration of the
light source after 50 hours of operation is recommended. A sample log is
provided in Appendix B: DH-3PLUS Use Log.

Operating Instructions
Operating the Lamp
The following sections provide instructions on operating the deuterium and halogen lamps in the
DH-3PLUS Light Source. The DH-3PLUS unit must be in a horizontal position for it to work.
Starting Main Power
To apply main power to the unit,
1. Ensure that the Main Power Switch is OFF. Then, connect the power cord to the
Terminal Input on the rear panel of the unit.
2. Turn the Main Power Switch ON. The Power LED lights, indicating that the unit is
receiving power. The Status LED blinks momentarily after the main power is switched
on. The deuterium and halogen bulbs remain off after power-on; they must be turned on
separately.
Manual Operation of Lamp
Starting the Lamp
Press the DEUTERIUM or HALOGEN On/Off switch down to ignite the desired lamp.
The LED blinks green until the lamp illuminates (approximately 20 seconds for the
deuterium lamp, 1-2 seconds for the halogen lamp.)
