Features of this Product
This 45-degree expansion unit is an optional unit used to enable prismatic 45-degree
reflection measurement by mounting this product onto the Near-infrared
Micro-spectrophotometer (USPM-W-B). Its measurement method is a comparison
measurement where the spectral reflectance of the 45-degree reference sample is used as
the reference and where the spectral reflectance of the sample is calculated.

3. Installation and Connection
3.1. Transportation and installation
Refer to NIR Micro-Spectrophotometer USPM-W-B Operation Manual –3.1 To transfer
and install the main unit.
3.2.Halogen lamp attachment and replacement
Usable light source lamp: JC12V55W (manufactured by Life Elex Inc.)
(1) Loosen and remove the lamp house fixing knobs (at two locations) set in the collimator
unit for transmittance, and pull out the lamp house.
(2) The removed lamp house is equipped with a lamp
socket in which a halogen lamp can be inserted. Flip
down the inserter/ejector levers (at two locations)
and mount the halogen lamp into the lamp socket. If
the lamp does not lean or it is not inserted correctly,
the unevenness of a ring image like the right
photograph will occur. When unevenness is checked,
please check whether insertion of a lamp is
corrected.
(3) Slowly lift your fingers off the inserter/ejector levers.
(4) Insert the lamp house into the original position. The lamp connector must be
positioned to the right of the device. Check the portion surrounded by a circle below
and check the screw hole position and the lamp house fixing position, and then tighten
the lamp house fixing knobs (at two locations) to fix the lamp house.
For safety reasons, before halogen lamp attachment or replacement, turn off
the power switch, remove the power
cord from the outlet, and wait until the
halogen lamp and socket
have adequately cooled down
When attaching the halogen lamp, be careful not to directly touch it. If
fingerprint
s or dirt adheres to the halogen lamp, wipe them off completely.
Otherwise, the lifetime of the halogen lamp
can be shortened.
Checking is necessary for the lamp house.

Connect the "IO" connector of the main unit and the "IO" connector of the
controller supply unit.
3
USB cables (two)
Connect the "USB1" and "USB2" connectors of the main unit and any USB
terminals of the personal computer (there is no specification
for
cables and
ports).
4
Power cord
Connect the power plug to the 100–240 V power supply. Connect the power
cord
to a three-core grounded outlet. If the groundin
g terminal of the outlet is
not connected, the intended safety performance cannot be ensured.
5
Protection key
Any USB port on the computer
For cable setting, keep cables away from something sharp.
Be careful not to apply excessive force to the cables, as they are
easily damaged by bending or twisting.
Before wiring, check that all power switches are turned off and
remove the power
cord from the outlet.
If the power cord contacts the lamp house, it can become melted
and short
-circuited. During installation, keep an adequate space
between the power
cord and the lamp house.
Be sure to use the supplied cable. If you use a cable other than that
supplied, noises may be generated or a malfunction may occur due
to external noises.
The supplied cable cannot be used for other
