Installation and start-up. Analytik Jena SPEKOL 2000
Analytik Jena SPEKOL 2000 is a compact, computer-controlled spectrophotometer used to measure the transmission, extinction, concentration, and energy level of liquid samples. It operates within the 190 nm to 1100 nm spectral range and offers genuine real-time operation, enabling compensation for variations in reference sample absorption during measurement. Combined with WinASPECT software, SPEKOL 2000 is ideal for applications in clinical, biochemical, chemical, or environmental laboratories, as well as routine analytics, research, development, and quality control.

Installation conditions
Caution !
Do not cover any of the ventilation slots!
Do not place any objects on the SPEKOL
®
2000!

2000 in rooms where there is risk of an explosion!
Keep aggressive vapors, e.g. strongly corrosive acid or caustic vapors away.
The installation site of the SPEKOL
®
2000 must meet the following requirements:
• The place should be free of draft, dust, corrosive vapors as well as vibrations.
• Do not set up the SPEKOL
®
2000 near electromagnetic fields (e.g. of motors).
• Avoid dripping or splashing water near the instrument.
• Do not expose the device to direct sunlight or the radiation of heaters.
• Temperature range:
• Humidity:
+ 15 ... + 35 °C up to 85% (at + 30 °C)
Footprint requirements
Based on its specified overall dimensions plus an extra 100 mm stripe of clearance on all sides, the SPEKOL

Installation and start-up
Connecting the SPEKOL 2000
5.2 Connecting the SPEKOL 2000
Observe correct position of device!
Move the SPECORD
®
only in upright position (observe label on transport case).
Do not turn the device upside down.
Electric shock
Check that the nameplate specification for operating voltage is in agreement with the actual level of line voltage supply before you connect the SPEKOL
®
2000 to a mains supply point. Operation at any other than the specified voltage level may result in destruction of the SPEKOL
®
2000.
Make absolutely certain that the voltage selector switch (Fig. 4 p.10) is set to the right
mains voltage level.
1. Carefully unpack shipping case contents and visually check product delivery.
2. Remove all air stream obstacles below and around the product.
3. Set the selector switch to the right voltage level (1 in Fig. 4 p.10).
4. Connect line power cable to power inlet (Fig. 4 p.10), then plug power connector
into power socket.
5. Use RS232 cable to connect the SPEKOL ®
2000 (Fig. 2 p.9) and the PC to a free
COM port.
6. Remove cells or other obstacles (as may be necessary) from the light beam path in the sample compartment.
7. Use main power switch to turn power on (3 in Fig. 4 p.10).
8. Start your PC and install WinASPECT software if necessary, using the special
SPEKOL ® 2000 driver (refer to WinASPECT manual).
9. Launch WinASPECT software and select SPEKOL ® 2000 via Measurement /
Configuration Measurement .
10. Select in Measurement. Then check “Device “ tab for correct COM interface setting.
11. Trigger initialization routine via Measurement / Full Initialization . This function test may take some minutes to run through. Keep the sample compartment closed until initialization is complete.
Allow for run-in time of 20 minutes!
Wait for the SPEKOL
®
2000 to reach a thermally stable condition (approximately 20 minutes) before you trigger the first measurement job.
Caution!
During measurement, the sample compartment cover must be closed!
The SPEKOL
®
2000 is ready for operation.
