2.9 Lamps

The following lamps are available for the detector:
• A deuterium lamp for UV wavelength detection
A tungsten lamp for visible and near-infrared wavelength detection
•
The table lists the lamps to use for various wavelength detection ranges.
Wavelengths Detected
< 345.0 nm
< 670.0 nm
Between 345.0 and 670.0 nm
< 345,0 nm and > 670,0 nm
(multi-wavelength operation)
An identification chip is fitted to each lamp at the factory. The chip stores unique
information about the lamp, including the lamp type, number of lamp starts, lamp age, and
lamp intensity. This information provides an overview of the lamp status. When a lamp is
installed, a contact on the lamp connects the chip to the detector electronics.
The lamps are installed behind the lamp house cover (→ Fig. 2, page 22) and easily accessible
from the inside front panel. For more information, see section 7.3 (→ page 119).
