USB2000/USB2000+/USB4000/HR2000 Spectrometer
The USB2000 and HR2000 Spectrometers have a 10-pin connector. The USB2000+/USB4000/HR2000
have a 20-pin connector. For these spectrometers, you need to use the USB-ADP-PX2 serial adapter.
►
Procedure
1. Connect the USB-ADP-PX2 serial adapter to the spectrometer’s accessory connector. For
USB2000+/USB4000/HR2000 Spectrometers with the 20-pin connector, skip the first column of
pins (A1 and A2) when plugging in the adapter.
2. Tighten the jackscrew to hold the adapter in place.
3. Connect the DB15 cable that came with the LS-450 to the USB-ADP-PX2, then to your LS-450.
Connecting to Ocean Optics Spectrometers with a 30-pin Connector
Our other spectrometers such as the NIRQuest, Maya, QE65000 and HR4000 use a 30-pin accessory
connector.
►
Procedure
Follow the steps below to connect the LS-450 to a spectrometer with a 30-pin accessory connector:
1. Connect the HR4000-CBL-BB ribbon cable to the spectrometer’s 30-pin accessory connector.
2. Connect DB15 cable assembly to the spectrometer’s ribbon cable and the other end to the LS-
450’s 15-pin connector.
Connecting the LS-450 Using the Breakout Box
The Breakout Box offers another option for connecting the LS-450 to our spectrometers with the 30-pin
connector. The Breakout Box is a passive module that separates the signals from the 30-pin port of the
spectrometer into an array of standard connectors and headers. You’ll want to use the Breakout Box if
you need multiple interfaces to your spectrometer. See the
for information on using the Breakout Box.
