1.3 ELECTRICAL HAZARDS

Make all connections to or from the power supply with the power off. There may be dangerous voltage

present at the output terminals.

Tighten all lamp housing interconnect cable connections to prevent arcing.

There are no user serviceable parts inside the power supply. Do not use the power supply without its

cover in place. Lethal voltages are present inside.

1.4 FIRE HAZARDS

Lamps are extremely hot during operation, and for several minutes after being shut off. Keep flammable

objects away from the lamp and lamp housing.

Each compatible Newport brand lamp housing is equipped with a condenser lens. The re-focused output

of this lens can cause ignition of flammable targets including but not limited to walls, certain chemicals.

Use only the line cord supplied with the power supply. A substitute line cord may not be rated for high

current.

1.5 LAMP HANDLING

Read all information and warnings provided with lamp.

Never touch any lamp or the reflector’s inner surface with bare fingers or other contaminates. Skin oil or

other substances can burn into the lamp envelope during operation and negatively affect the lamp’s

performance and lifetime.

Always wear appropriate gloves and impact-resistant goggles when handling any lamp. Avoid any

mechanical strain during handling. Do not operate the lamp without all housing panels in place.

Lamps become very hot after only a few minutes of operation (up to 150°C) and remain quite hot for at

least 10 to 15 minutes after being turned off.

Do not run the lamp at more than 10% above its current or power rating. Lamp lifetime will decrease

dramatically.

1.6 LIGHT HAZARDS

These lamps produce considerable ultraviolet and infrared radiation. Avoid excessive exposure of the

eyes or skin to radiation from these lamps.

Utilize protective eyewear and gloves when operating these lamps.

2 INTRODUCTION

2.1 DESCRIPTION/FEATURES

The model OPS-A Power Supplies are designed to meet the needs of a regulated source of power or

current for proper operation of DC arc light sources. The OPS models provide constant power or constant

current operation of these sources of radiation, which is usually required whenever a radiometric

measurement is being made or whenever highly stable light output is needed.

Features Include:

•Adjustable output with preset so that the output can be set before running the lamp.

•Large LCD display for precise monitoring of current, voltage, power, and lamp running time as well as

light intensity and shutter timing characteristics when used with external light intensity controller kit

and TTL shutter.

•Four horizontal and four vertical menu buttons as well as rotating knob on front panel for easy

navigation of power supply features.

•LAMP and SHUTTER buttons located on front panel for manual control of lamp ignition and external

shutter. Icons on the LCD display show the ignition and open/close statuses of the lamp during

operation at all times.

•Safety interlock connector for safeguarding against accidental exposure to UV light when used with a

Newport lamp housing.

•USB interface located on front panel for firmware updates.

•RS232 and USB interfaces located on the rear of the power supply for user preference of RS232 or

USB external operation and monitoring.

•BNC connector on rear panel for sending electronic signals to open/close TTL shutter.

•BNC and D-SUB connector on rear panel for direct connection to LIK-LMP light intensity controller kit.

These connectors are used to regulate/control the temperature of the TE cooled detector in the LIK-

LMP and adjust current/power supplied to the lamp to ensure stable light output based on the current

output of the detector. The LIK-LMP is typically used when an additional level of stability is required

for the application.

•RoHS and CE compliance
