NE-1-CAL Installation and Operation Instructions

2

008-00000-NE1-01-1209

Parts Included

The NE-1 package includes the following items:

NE-1 Neon Calibration Light Source

12 VDC power supply

WARNING

The beam emerging from the light source contains UV radiation that can cause 
serious eye injury upon direct contact with the eye.  Never look directly into the 
light source.

The SMA 905 Connector may get extremely hot during operation. After lamp 
use, allow sufficient time to cool before handling.

Dangerous voltages are present, and there are no user-serviceable parts inside. 
Never open the NE-1.

Additional Accessories

The following are additional accessories available from Ocean Optics that you may need, depending 
on your system set-up:

Spectrometer

SMA-terminated optical fiber 

Ocean Optics software

Connecting the NE-1

Follow the steps below to set up your NE-1 for use.

Procedure

1. Plug the 12 VDC power supply into a power outlet, then connect the barrel connector of the 

power supply to the power input on the rear of the NE-1.

or

Alternately, you can use a 9-volt battery (not included) to power the NE-1.  Open the battery 
hatch of the NE-1 and install the 9-volt battery, and then proceed to Step 2.

2. Connect a fiber to the SMA 905 Connector on the NE-1. If your spectrometer does not have 

an entrance slit, use a 50 

m diameter (or smaller) fiber. Larger fibers and slits result in 

reduced optical resolution.
