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
