Before You Get Started
Warnings & Cautions
This device may cause radio interference or may disrupt the operation of nearby equipment. It may be necessary to take
mitigation measures such as re-orienting, relocating, or shielding the location.
Cautions
Caution: Do not let contaminants get into the bench. Keep the protective cap on the slit aperture when not connected to an
accessory, probe or fiber.
Caution: Only change the slit aperture in a clean environment where contaminants including dust cannot enter the bench during the
procedure.
Caution: Substitution of a component or accessory different from that supplied may result in measurement error, equipment
damage, increased emissions or decreased immunity.
Caution: Be sure to install any software BEFORE connecting the spectrometer to your PC or host system. The software installs the
drivers required for spectrometer installation. If you do not install the software first, the system may not properly recognize
the spectrometer.
Caution: Repairs should be undertaken only by personnel trained or authorized by Ocean Insight. The device does not contain any
user serviceable parts.

Caution: Do not immerse the device in any fluid, place fluids on top of, or attempt to clean with liquid detergents or cleaning agents.
This may cause an electrical hazard. Do not use if accidental wetting occurs.
Caution: Do not remove any covers. Doing so may increase the risk of electrical shock or compromise the integrity of the optical
components.
Caution: Do not gas sterilize or autoclave this device.
Caution: Consult local codes and ordinances for proper disposal of equipment and other consumable goods.
Caution: The device and/or accessories may not operate correctly if used or stored outside the relevant temperature and humidity
ranges described in the Technical Specifications.
Caution: Do not use if device is dropped and/or damaged. Have an authorized service representative check the device before using
again.
Caution: To ensure reliable operation, it is recommended that the power supply be attached prior to inserting the USB connector.
Caution: The user of this spectrometer shall have the sole responsibility for any malfunction that results from improper use, faulty
maintenance, improper repair, damage, or alteration by anyone other than Ocean Insight or its authorized service
personnel.

Introduction
Product Overview
Combining the small size of the Flame optical bench with an uncooled InGaAs detector, the Flame-NIR+ spectrometer opens a new
frontier in NIR spectroscopy. Without thermoelectric cooling, the Flame-NIR+’s power consumption is very low and makes the Flame-
NIR+ ideal for integration into handheld and portable systems.
The Flame-NIR+ offers a significant 6-fold enhancement in sensitivity over the previous Flame-NIR model. The additional sensitivity
has been achieved via enhancements to the optical performance of the unit. The electronics and interfacing of the Flame-NIR+ have
not been changed.
The Flame-NIR+ benefits from all the advantages of the Flame product line, including interchangeable slits and low unit-to-unit
variability. With a preconfigured range from 970 to 1700 nm, Flame-NIR+ is an ideal choice for many NIR applications including
moisture measurement, grain and feed quality, measurement of fats and oils, and pharmaceutical ingredients blending.
Shipment Components
❑Flame-NIR+
❑Micro USB Cable
❑Wavelength Calibration Data Sheet –Each spectrometer is shipped with a Wavelength Calibration Data Sheet that contains
information unique to your spectrometer.
NOTE
Please save the Wavelength Calibration Data Sheet for future reference.

Calibration
Each spectrometer is calibrated for wavelength before it leaves Ocean Insight; however, the wavelength for all spectrometers will
drift slightly as a function of time and environmental conditions. Additionally, Ocean Insight recommends that a calibration be
performed after changing the slit on a spectrometer as it will optimize the performance of the device.
For more information on performing a calibration, or using Ocean Insight’s Calibration Services, visit www.OceanInsight.com.
