Chapter 1
Setup
Overview
INLINE-TTL-S Inline TTL Shutter is a small mechanical laser-cut shutter that is positioned between two
UV/VIS-optical components. The shutter is controlled by a small circuit board that is powered by a 12
VDC signal. The circuitry in the INLINE-TTL-S monitors Pin 13 of the 15-pin D-Sub connector for a 5-
volt TTL signal and triggers the shutter when the 5-volt signal is received.
The maximum frequency at which the INLINE-TTL-S can operate is 5Hz (5 shutter cycles per second).

1: Setup
Unpacking
►Procedure
1. Unpack your lamp assembly carefully. Although the deuterium 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. Contact your dealer for repair or replacement information, if
necessary.
3. Use this instrument in a clean laboratory environment (see Operating Environment).
Contents
Your package should contain the following:
 Inline-TTL-S Inline TTL Shutter
 One IC-DB15-2 interface cable for shutter operation
Additionally, you will need an approved power supply for the LS-475, such as the Mikropack PS-
12V/1.25A power supply.
►Procedure
To set up your Inline TTL Shutter,
1. Connect a UV or VIS optic to the SMA 905 Connectors on each end of the INLINE-TTL-S
shutter.
2. Connect the 12 VDC power supply to the control box of the INLINE-TTL-S.
3. Connect the trigger signal for your application to Pin 13 of the 15-pin input connector on the
INLINE-TTL-S control box (see Pinout Information).
You have now configured the INLINE-TTL-S for use. Ensure that during your acquisition process, the 5-
volt signal reaches Pin 13 of the INLINE-TTL-S and that the shutter operates on command.
