HR2000+ Data Sheet
Description
The Ocean Optics HR2000+ Spectrometer includes the linear CCD-array optical bench, plus all the
circuits necessary for spectrometer operation. The result is a compact, flexible system, with no moving
parts, that's easily integrated as an OEM component.

The HR2000+ spectrometer is a unique combination of technologies providing users with both an
unusually high spectral response and high optical resolution in a small footprint. The electronics have
been designed for considerable flexibility in connecting to various modules as well as external
interfaces. The HR2000+ interfaces to PCs, PLCs and other embedded controllers through USB 2.0 or
RS-232 communications. The information included in this data sheet provides detailed instructions on
the connection and operation of the HR2000+.
The detector used in the HR2000+ spectrometer is a high-sensitivity 2048-element CCD array from
Sony, product number ILX511B. (For complete details on this detector, visit Sony’s web site at
www.sony.com. Ocean Optics applies a coating to all ILX511 detectors, so the optical sensitivity
could vary from that specified in the Sony datasheet).
The HR2000+ operates from the +5V power, provided through the USB, or from a separate power
supply and either a USB or RS-232 interface. The HR2000+ is a microcontroller-controlled
spectrometer, thus all operating parameters are implemented through software interfacing to the unit.
The HR4000 Breakout Box (HR4-BREAKOUT) is available from Ocean Optics for use with the
HR2000+ Spectrometer. The HR4000 Breakout Box is a passive module that separates the signals
from their 30-pin port to an array of standard features found on the HR2000+ Spectrometer.
