The USB-PC keyboard is connected to the USB-A interface.
3.3.5 Barcode reader
The barcode reader enables the simplified entering of alphanumerical
character strings and can be used in all operating situations that require the
entry of text or numerals. The barcode reader is connected to the USB-A
interface.
3.3.6 Car Adapter photoLab
®
6xxx
With the Car Adapter photoLab
®
6xxx, you can operate the Pharo 6100 and
Pharo 6600 spectrophotometers on the move and independent of the local
power supply.
To do so, a 12 V power supply such as a commercial 12 V portable power
source or a 12 V car battery is required.
Safety instructions For operation with an external battery, follow the safety instructions of the
battery.
Make sure the power source is suitable for operation of the
spectrophotometer (see technical data of the power source and technical
data of the spectrophotometer).
Operating time
with a battery
The maximum operating time depends on various factors:
z Battery (e.g. nominal capacity, condition, age)
z Operating mode of the photometer (e.g. frequency of measurements)
z Photometer (instrument type)
Example:
Operating time with a 12 V / 19 Ah type battery in optimum condition: approx.
6.5 h
12 V power supply unit
(e.g. portable power
source or car battery )
