I. D e s c r i p t i o n The FA-448 is a series of filter wheel assemblies which are available with and without installed order sorting filters and with and without remote position control. This manual covers the following models: F A-448 Six position filter wheel.
II. FA-448 Series Filter Assembly Specifications • Six position wheel • One inch (1" ±0.005) diameter filters, maximum thickness =0 .200" Controller specifications • Control from computer or terminal through RS-232 port at 9600 • baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and 1 start bit.
III. I n s t a l l a t i o n A. Mounting to Monochromator The filter assembly is 3/4 of an inch thick. Therefore, if using a light source that is designed to mount directly on the entrance slit housing and to focus the light on the entrance slit, it is recommended that the filter assembly be mounted on the exit slit housing.
C. Installing and Changing Filters T o install or remove filters or samples, the following procedure is recommended: 1) If the filter assembly is mounted to the SpectraPro™, remove it and disconnect the cable, if attached. 2) Place the filter assembly on a clean surface with the motor down.
IV . O p e r a t i o n A. Remote Operation from Controller Unit The filter positions of each filter wheel can be controlled using the thumbwheel switches on the controller modules supplied with the filter assemblies. Connect the motor drive cable of the controller to the motor connector of the filter wheel for each unit.
C. IEEE -488 Interface Option for Filter Controllers The IEEE-488 interface option allows control of ARC Filter Control unit from the IEEE-488 bus. All of the commands and status requests described in Section B - Operation with RS-232 Computer or T erminal - are available through the IEEE-488 option.
