Chapter 1 Introduction Product Overview The HR4000 High-Resolution Miniature Fiber Optic Spectrometer provides optical resolution as good as 0.025 nm (FWHM). The HR4000 is responsive from 200-1100 nm, but the specific range and resolution depends on your grating and entrance slit selections. The HR4000 is perfect for applications where high resolution is necessary, such as absorbance of gases or atomic emission lines (for solution chemistry or for color measurements, the USB4000 is more appropriate).
1: Introduction System Requirements You can use the HR4000’s USB connectivity with any computer that meets the following requirements: • Microsoft Windows – Windows 2000/XP/7; 32-bit and 64-bit and Windows Vista (32-bit only) • • Apple Macintosh –version 10.5 Intel or later Linux – Any version released for an x86 or amd64 platform since 2010 Alternately, the HR4000 has serial port adaptability for connecting to PCs, PLCs, and other devices that support the RS-232 communication protocol.
1: Introduction 7. The software compares the sample to the reference measurement and displays processed spectral information. Modular Sampling Accessories Ocean Optics offers a complete line of spectroscopic accessories for use with the HR4000. Most of our spectroscopic accessories have SMA connectors for application flexibility. Accordingly, changing the sampling system components is as easy as unscrewing a connector and replacing an accessory.
1: Introduction Note Please save the Wavelength Calibration Data Sheet for future reference. Other Accessories Available Visit us at www.OceanOptics.com for a complete list of products available for all of your spectroscopy needs.
Chapter 2 Installing the HR4000 Overview You must install the operating software application prior to connecting the HR4000 Spectrometer to the computer. The Ocean Optics spectrometer operating software installs the drivers required for the HR4000 spectrometer installation. If you do not install the software first, the system will not properly recognize the HR4000.
2: Installing the HR4000 Serial Port Mode To use the serial port capacity of the HR4000 Spectrometer, the PC must be running a 32-bit version of the Windows operating system. ► Procedure Follow the steps below to connect the HR4000 to the PC via serial port: 1. Connect the serial cable adapter block to the appropriate pins of the HR4000’s 30-Pin Accessory Connector. 2. Connect one end of the 9-pin serial cable to the adapter block on the HR4000, and then connect the other end to a serial port on the PC. 3.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Overview The following sections contain information on troubleshooting issues you may encounter when using the HR4000 Spectrometer. HR4000 Connected to Computer Prior to Operating Software Installation Windows Operating Systems If you connected your Ocean Optics HR4000 device to the computer prior to installing your spectrometer operating software application, you may encounter installation issues that you must correct before your Ocean Optics device will operate properly.
3: Troubleshooting Note Improperly installed USB devices can also appear under the Universal Serial Bus Controller option. Be sure to check this location if you cannot locate the unknown device. 3. Locate the unknown device (marked with a large question mark). Right-click on the Unknown Device listing and select the Uninstall or Remove option. 4. Click the OK button to continue. A warning box appears confirming the removal of the Unknown Device. Click the OK button to confirm the device removal. 5.
3: Troubleshooting Linux Operating Systems For Linux operating systems, all you need to do is install the spectrometer operating software, then unplug and replug in the spectrometer. Technically, the driver files for Linux simply give nonprivileged users permission to use newly connected hardware. There isn’t any long-term harm to plugging in the device before installing the software.

Appendix A Calibrating the Wavelength of the HR4000 Overview This appendix describes how to calibrate the wavelength of your spectrometer. Though each spectrometer is calibrated before it leaves Ocean Optics, the wavelength for all spectrometers will drift slightly as a function of time and environmental conditions. Ocean Optics recommends periodically recalibrating the HR4000.
A: Calibrating the Wavelength of the HR4000 Calibrating the Spectrometer Preparing for Calibration To recalibrate the wavelength of your spectrometer, you need the following components: • A light source capable of producing spectral lines Note Ocean Optics’ HG-1 Mercury-Argon lamp is ideal for recalibration. If you do not have an HG-1, you need a light source that produces several (at least 4-6) spectral lines in the wavelength region of your spectrometer.
A: Calibrating the Wavelength of the HR4000 Independent Values Computed from the Regression Output Dependent Variables Variable True Wavelength (nm) Pixel # Pixel # 2 Pixel # 3 Predicted Wavelength Difference 253.65 296.73 302.15 313.16 334.15 365.02 404.66 407.78 435.84 546.07 576.96 579.07 696.54 706.72 727.29 738.40 751.
A: Calibrating the Wavelength of the HR4000 7. Record the Intercept, as well as the First, Second, and Third Coefficients. Additionally, look at the value for R squared. It should be very close to 1. If not, you have most likely assigned one of your wavelengths incorrectly. Keep these values at hand. Saving the New Calibration Coefficients: USB Mode Ocean Optics programs wavelength calibration coefficients unique to each HR4000 onto an EEPROM memory chip in the HR4000.
Appendix B Specifications Overview This appendix contains information on spectrometer operation, specifications, and system compatibility. It also includes accessory connector pinout diagrams and pin-specific information. How the HR4000 Works Below is a diagram of how light moves through the optical bench of an HR4000 Spectrometer.
