The Oriel 68831 Radiometric Power Supplies are designed to meet the needs of the researcher who demands a highly regulated source of current for proper operation of QTH and IR light sources. Constant current operation of these sources of radiation is usually required whenever a radiometric measurement is being made or whenever highly stable light output is needed. Constant power generation will prevent element overdrive in case of varying impedance conditions. The 68831 keeps track of operating time whenever the lamp is running. The digital display shows operating time from 0 - 9999 hours. This function may help the user determine when to replace the lamp, and monitor the performance over time.
The Oriel Lamp Power Supply Cable Set may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
Functions
Provides electrical power and control signal connections between lamp power supply units and arc lamp housings. Transmits high-voltage ignition pulses and steady-state operating current to xenon, mercury, or deuterium arc lamps. Features shielded multiconductor construction with high-voltage insulation rated for lamp starting voltages up to 25kV. Includes separate conductors for anode, cathode, and trigger electrode connections. Incorporates safety interlocks and ground connections for operator protection. Enables remote lamp operation with typical cable lengths of 2-10 meters. Compatible with spectroscopy, photolithography, solar simulation, and UV curing applications requiring stable arc lamp illumination.
Platforms
Operates within an ecosystem of research-grade illumination equipment. It connects an arc lamp or Quartz Tungsten Halogen (QTH) lamp housing to a dedicated power supply. The interface consists of high-voltage, multi-pin circular connectors designed to transmit high-voltage ignition pulses and sustained DC operating current to the lamp's anode and cathode. The cable assembly includes conductors for safety interlock circuits, preventing power supply operation unless a secure connection to the lamp housing is established. It is a passive component in spectroscopy, solar simulation, and microscopy systems.
Applications
functions: Provides electrical power to arc lamps; regulates current to maintain stable light output. hardware_platform: Compatible with Oriel arc lamp housings and power supplies. interfaces: Connects to lamp housing via high-voltage connector; interfaces with power supply using multi-pin connector. applications: Spectroscopy, illumination, materials characterization, solar simulation.
Accessories
Mercury and xenon arc lamp power supply cable kit including high voltage igniter cable with SHV connectors, lamp anode and cathode cables with ring terminals for lamp housing connections, interlock cable with 2-pin connector for safety circuit integration, and ground cable with ring terminal. Cables are silicone insulated for high temperature operation near lamp housings. Kit supports 200-1000W mercury and xenon arc lamps with typical 20kV ignition voltage requirements. Compatible with Newport/Oriel 68900 series and similar lamp power supplies requiring remote lamp operation.
Interfaces
Connects to the lamp housing using a 9-pin D-subminiature connector for control signals and a separate high-voltage circular connector for power. The power supply side typically uses matching connectors: a female 9-pin D-sub for control and a dedicated circular high-voltage socket. Cable set includes safety interlocks and is designed for xenon/mercury arc lamp systems with proper insulation for high-voltage operation, typically rated to 1000V.
Specifications
A shielded cable set designed to connect a lamp power supply to an arc lamp or quartz tungsten halogen (QTH) lamp housing. Features multi-pin connectors for the power supply interface and high-voltage, low-noise coaxial connectors for the lamp anode/cathode connections. Includes an interlock circuit wire for safety. Engineered to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and ensure stable power delivery for applications in spectroscopy, solar simulation, and microscopy.
