With the ring hung within the Ring Guide area, use the lever to lower
the LED light source to secure the stone over the Photo-detector
(Fig 2.7).
Fig.2.7 Place open-back ring jewelry on the Ring Guide on the LED
light source and push the LED light source down to secure the stone
against the Photo-detector
If your gemstone is mounted with open-back setting in other types of
jewelry that cannot be placed over the Ring Guide, place the jewelry
onto the base platform, with the stone covering the Photo-detector and
lower the LED light source to secure the jewelry in place for testing.
Ensure that the Photo-detector is completely covered by the gemstone
so that the emitted wavelength is through the stone material.
Should the Photo-detector not be completely covered by the
gemstone, the emitted UV light will not be able to pass through the
stone, reaching the Photo-detector instead and will give an inaccurate
reading of the UV light transmittance ability of the stone material.
Close the lid and press the "Start Test" button.
