Tips for installing lamps
•
Use PerkinElmer lamps.
•
Do not touch the front window of the lamp: perspiration or other contamination can reduce
intensity of the radiation.
•
With EDLs, make sure that you use the correct coding plug and connect it to the receptacle on the
lamp holder containing the EDL.
•
If you use the wrong coding plug, you will cause the spectrometer to malfunction and may cause
irreparable damage to the lamp.
