Features of this Product
The transmit unit consists of an optional unit that enables the measurement of a spectral
transmission factor when it is installed into the NIR Micro-spectrophotometer (USPM-W-B).
Relative measurement for calculating the spectral transmission factor of a test object is
performed with the spectral transmission factor, in the state where the test object is not
arranged, as standard.

3.1. Equipment transportation and installation
See “3.1 Equipment Transportation and Installation”in the instruction manual for the
NIR Micro-spectrophotometer USPM-W-B.
3.2.Halogen lamp attachment and replacement
Applicable light source lamp: JC12V55W (made by Life Elex)
(1) Loosen the (two) fixing knobs of the lamp housing installed in the collimator unit for
transmittance and remove them. Pull out the lamp housing.
(2) A lamp socket with a halogen lamp has been
installed in the removed lamp housing. Push the
(two) detachable levers and install the halogen lamp
in 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 let your fingers release the detachable levers.
(4) Insert the lamp housing into the former position. Adjust it so that the lamp connector
faces the right of the device. Check the encircled part and then check the screw hole
position and the lamp housing fixed position. Tighten the (two) fixing knobs of the lamp
housing and fix it securely.
Set the power switch to OFF for safety, pull out the power cord from the wall
outlet,
and cool the
halogen lamp and lamp socket sufficiently before installing
and removing
the halogen lamp.
Do not touch the halogen lamp with your fingers during installation. Wipe away
fingerprints or
stains if they are present. Use of the halogen lamp in a dirty
state
shortens its life span.
The lamp housing requires inspection according to the Appendix: “Lighting
System
(Lamp Housing) Inspection Check Sheet” in the
instruction manual
for the NIR micro-spectrophotometer USPM-W-B.

Any USB port on the computer
The power cord may melt and short-circuit if it makes contact with
the
lamp housing. Keep the power cord
sufficiently away from the
lamp housing during installation.
Be sure to use the attached cable. Use of something other than the
attached
cable may cause a failure such as noise occurrence or
malfunction
due to external noises. The attached
cable cannot be
used for other equipment.
For cable setting, keep cables away from something sharp.
Be careful not to apply excessive force, as cables are susceptible to
bending and torsion.
Confirm that all power switches are set to OFF and that the power
cord
has been removed from the wall outlet.
