3. Assembly and Calibration of The Integrating Sphere

3.1 Stage Installation and Connection (No stage for diameters less than 1 m)

3.1.1 Stage Installation

To prevent the large Integrating Sphere from opening during shipping, we secure it with screws. Please remove the two screws holding the Integrating Sphere in place. Then open the Integrating Sphere and make sure the right hemisphere opens and closes smoothly.

The stage can be mounted either on top of the Integrating Sphere or at the bottom. Here, we’ll use the example of mounting the stage at the bottom. Open the large Integrating Sphere, loosen this screw, and remove the plug.

Then retighten the screw, making sure the screw head is facing downward.

3.1.2 Four-Conductor Cable Connection for the Stage

The stage’s four-wire cable must be connected to the back of the junction box at the bottom of the Integrating Sphere. The junction box contains red and black terminals for POWER and SENSE, for a total of four terminals. The stage also contains red and black terminals for POWER and SENSE, for a total of four terminals. When making the connections, open the stage top cover and the junction box to verify that the wiring is correct and that each terminal corresponds to its respective connection.

3.2 Installation of Linear Light Fixtures (No linear light fixtures for diameters less than 1.5 m)

When you need to test linear lights, such as LED tubes, you can use a linear light fixture to secure the tube.

3.3 Installation of Auxiliary Light Fixtures (Models with a diameter of less than 1 m do not have an auxiliary light function)

Remove the plugs from the mounting holes on the Integrating Sphere auxiliary light bracket to prepare for installing the auxiliary light bracket.

Find the auxiliary light fixture:

Remove the screws and washers:

Feed the auxiliary light fixture out from the inside of the Integrating Sphere:

Then secure it from the outside using screws and washers.

3.4 Crosshair Laser (No crosshair laser for diameters less than 1.5 m)

3.4.1 Cross-Laser Calibration

Jumlah	Note
①	Battery compartment, used to power the crosshair laser

Untuk bohlam pijar, dudukan ini dilengkapi dengan soket E27. Bohlam pijar dapat dipasang langsung ke soket E27 atau dihubungkan ke soket tersebut menggunakan adaptor; tidak diperlukan kabel tambahan di dalam Integrating Sphere.

Untuk lampu strip, lihat Bagian 3.2 dan gunakan perlengkapan lampu strip.

4.2.2.2 Other Lighting Fixtures

For other types of lighting fixtures, they can be placed directly on the stage. The stage surface has screw holes, so you can use M6 screws to secure the fixture to the stage to prevent it from falling.

4.2.2.3 Konfirmasi Lokasi Pemasangan Permukaan Pemancar Cahaya

The stage is height-adjustable. The 1-meter Integrating Sphere does not have a crosshair laser; use a tape measure to ensure the sample’s light-emitting surface is positioned exactly at the center of the Integrating Sphere. For Integrating Sphères of 1.5 meters or larger, refer to Section 3.4.2 and use the crosshair laser to ensure the sample’s light-emitting surface is positioned exactly at the center of the Integrating Sphere. After adjusting the height, ensure that the screws are securely tightened to prevent the stage from falling suddenly.

4.2.2.4 Connecting the Sample Power Cord

Simply connect the sample power cord to the two terminals labeled “POWER” on the stage. The two red terminals and two black terminals labeled “POWER” and “SENSE” on the stage are internally shorted; therefore, there is no need to connect wires separately to the two terminals labeled “SENSE” on the stage.

4.3 Menghubungkan Kabel Daya Eksternal dan Kabel Pengambilan Sampel

The four terminals on the front of the Integrating Sphere junction box are used to connect to your other devices. The two “POWER” terminals connect to the sample power supply cable, and the two “SENSE” terminals connect to the voltage sampling cable.

4.4 Use of Auxiliary Light Mounts (No auxiliary light function for diameters less than 1 m)

Please install the auxiliary light into the MR16 socket on the auxiliary light fixture. The auxiliary light fixture has two pre-wired power lines; when you need to use the auxiliary light, please use a wire to extend the connection and connect the auxiliary light to a suitable power source.

7. Masalah dan Solusi Umum

Pertanyaan yang Sering Diajukan	Prosedur
How should an Integrating Sphere be disassembled for easy transport?	Large Integrating Sphères are quite bulky. If you must disassemble one for transport, unscrew all the black hand-tightening screws at the joint between the two halves (do not remove any other screws) to separate the Integrating Sphere into two parts. Be sure to protect the coating on the inner walls of the Integrating Sphere during transport, as damage to the coating is very difficult to repair.
