Description:
The Princeton Instruments Model XS-432 is a 75 watt xenon light source system
designed for use with Acton series monochromators. It consists of a 75 watt xenon
lamp (Hamamatsu L2174-01 or Osram XBO 75 W/2), a housing with light
collection mirror, and a regulated power supply (Optiquip Model 1200). The
XS-432 is assembled, tested and aligned prior to shipment to minimize assembly at
the customer facility. The lamp, however must be shipped separately for protection
against damage, therefore must be installed prior to operation. Adjustments are
provided on the light collecting mirror mount in the event that realignment becomes
necessary.

Caution:
Read All Precautions Below and in the Manufacturer’s Handling Precautions,
and Become Aware of the Hazards Pertaining to Xenon Lamps Before
Attempting to Handle them!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Handling Precautions: Xenon lamps are always under pressures above
atmosphere, so use extreme care when handling, installing or mounting them
to avoid any mechanical strains on the lamp. Protective glasses, heavy gloves
and a mask should always be worn when handling xenon lamps. Mechanical
strain can cause the lamp to shatter violently!
2. Contamination: Never touch the lamp with bare hands, as fingerprints or
other contaminants left on the lamp during operation will cause permanent
degradation to the lamp envelope. Contamination can cause the lamp to
shatter violently!
3. Radiation Hazards: The XS-432 xenon light source should never be operated
unless properly mounted to the entrance slit of an Acton series
monochromator. The output spectra of xenon lamps contains high levels of
short wavelength ultraviolet radiation, which can cause permanent damage to
unprotected skin and eyes. Therefore, never look directly into the output
beam, any diffuse reflection, or any specular (mirror) reflection even for a
short period of time without suitable protective ultraviolet blocking filters or
glasses. Never look into the exit slit of a monochromator when xenon or other
