2. Move the shutter switch on the rear of the unit into the appropriate position to select the shutter
mode.
• Open – Shutter open
• Close – Shutter closed
• TTL – Controlled by external TTL (High = Open, Low = Closed)
Note
Use Ocean Optics OOIBase32 software for automatic save dark.
Optimizing the Optical Power Output
The HL-2000-FHSA is adjusted at the factory to provide maximum power into a 200µm fiber. If a lower
optical power is required or a different fiber (bundle) diameter is used, you can adjust the optical power of
the unit. Refer to HL-2000-FSHA Diagrams while using the following procedure.
►Procedure
Follow the steps below to adjust the optical power of the HL-2000-FHSA Light Source:
1. Connect a fiber optic spectrometer or an optical power meter to a fiber, and then connect the other
end of the fiber to the HL-2000-FHSA’s SMA plug.
4000-10000-070-02-0505

1: Setup
2. Loosen the blocking screw with the provided 1.3mm Allen wrench.
3. Shift the SMA socket to optimize the optical power of the HL-2000-FHSA.
4. Tighten the blocking screw to secure the SMA socket position.
Attenuating the Optical Power Output
The HL-2000-FHSA allows you to attenuate the optical output of the unit by adjusting the attenuation
screw.
►Procedure
To attenuate the optical output of the HL-2000-FHSA, follow the steps below:
1. Ensure that the shutter switch on the rear of the unit is in the open position.
2. Loosen the fixture screw with the provided 2.0mm Allen wrench.
3. Turn the attenuation screw until the desire optical power is achieved.
4. Tighten the fixture screw when finished.
5. To attenuate the optical output of the HL-2000-FHSA, turn the attenuation-screw clockwise.
