Operating Instructions
Operating the Xenon Lamp
The following sections provide instructions on operating the Xenon lamp in the HPX-2000 Light Source.
The HPX-2000 unit must be in a horizontal position for it to work.
Starting Main Power
►Procedure
To apply main power to the unit,
1. Ensure that the proper voltage is set on the Voltage Selector Switch on the rear panel of the unit
(see Rear Panel).
2. Ensure that the Main Power Switch is OFF. Then, connect the power cord to the Terminal Input
on the rear panel of the unit.
3. Turn the Main Power Switch ON. The Power LED lights, indicating that the unit is receiving
power.
Starting the Lamp
Hold the Xenon ON/OFF switch down for 1 full second to illuminate the HPX-2000 lamp.
The lamp cannot be started when the Status LED is blinking. The Status LED blinks for about 5 seconds
after the main power is switched on (main power switch is located on rear of unit).
WARNING
Protective eyewear must be worn when using this equipment - Intense ultraviolet radiation
present.
Never look directly into the light beam, as this can cause eye damage.
000-10000-080-02-0505 9

3: Operating Instructions
Turning the Lamp Off
Turn the Xenon lamp off by holding the Xenon ON/OFF switch down for one full second. The Status
LED blinks for about 30 seconds while the lamp cools down.
Warming Up the Lamp
The HPX-2000 requires 25-30 minutes of operation to reach a state of thermal equilibrium. During this
warm-up period, the intensity of the output power can vary substantially.
If applications require extreme intensity stability, the lamp should be warmed up for an additional 30-45
minutes. Once warmed up for this amount of time, the lamp will reach specified drift values.
Operating the TTL Shutter
Automatic Operation
For automatic operation, plug the SUB-D 15-pin TTL connector into the appropriate socket on your
spectrometer.
Manual Operation
Manually set the operating mode of the HPX-2000 with the Shutter Switch as follows:
• OPEN - Shutter open
• CLOSE - Shutter closed
• TTL - Controlled over external TTL signal (HIGH=OPEN, LOW=CLOSE)
Operating the Filter Slit
►Procedure
1. Rotate the light beam protection cap to open the filter slit (see Front Panel).
2. Insert your filter with a maximum size of 1” round or square into the filter slit.
3. Rotate the light beam protection cap to close the filter slit.

Chapter 4
Troubleshooting
If the power supply or lamp does not seem to functioning properly, check the following:
Issue Probable Cause Resolution
Line power not present Check line voltage
Power switches on, but no
LEDs light. Fuse defective Check fuse
Lifetime of the lamp is
exhausted Replace the lamp module
Xenon lamp does not start
Lamp’s internal connection plug
is not closed properly
Open unit (see Bulb Replacement)
and close connector plug.
