Instrument Technical Description and Major Specifications (This Specifications Limited to Major 5) ● Light intensity feedback for stable output intensity ● Manual/Automatic/External/ Remote shutter control  ● Forced air cooling ● Selectable and adjustable constant intensity or constant lamp current ● Safety Interlock override warning ● Shutter Status Indicator

Measurement/Sample specifications: The solar simulator is a light source that approximates natural sunlight using a high pressure xenon lamp. The system consists of a light source unit, a built-in touch panel colour displays system controller and interconnecting cables. The light source unit contains the xenon lamp, lamp power supply and all other necessary optics, including an air mass filter, to simulate sunlight. A photo sensor and mechanical shutter are provided to control the light output. The intensity of the light and the lamp current are displayed on the front panel of the light source.
