Repairing the Variable Wavelength Detector

Introduction into Repairing the Variable Wavelength Detector

Simple Repairs
The detector is designed for easy repair. The most frequent repairs such as changing the
lamp and changing the flow cell can be done from the front of the detector with the
detector in place in the system stack. These repairs are described in
on page 88.
Exchanging Internal Parts
Some repairs may require exchanging defective internal parts. Exchange of these parts
requires removing the detector from the stack, removing the covers, and disassembling
the detector. The security lever at the power input socket prevents the detector cover
from being taken off when line power is still connected. These repairs are described in
"Exchanging Internal Parts"
To prevent personal injury, the power cable must be removed from the detector

before opening the detector cover. Do not connect the power cable to the
detector while the covers are removed.
When working with solvents please observe appropriate safety procedures (for
WARNING
example, goggles, safety gloves and protective clothing) as described in the
supplier's material handling and safety data sheet, especially when using toxic or
hazardous solvents.
Electronic boards and components are sensitive to electronic discharge (ESD). In

CAUTION
to prevent damage always use an ESD protection (for example, the ESD wrist strap
from the accessory kit) when handling electronic boards and components (see
