Electronics

In case of the rare chance of system failure, this section is provided to help the user un-
derstand the electronics components.
Xenon-lamp power supply
The xenon lamp's power supply has
a capacity of 180 W, and is found in
the center back of the instrument. In
order to suppress the emf spike
emitted from the lamp's power sup-
ply during arcing and startup of the
lamp—several thousand volts—this
contains specialized line filters.
The power supply is preset at the
factory for the correct current and
voltage to supply the xenon lamp with 150 W. Poor lamp performance or difficulty
maintaining a stable lamp arc may be the result of an improperly set power supply.
Contact Fluorescence Service for more details.
Monochromator drives and accessory controllers
The monochromator drives, drive electronics, and accessory electronics are found on
the underside of the optical platform. Electrical connections for the emission detector
and the basic system-electronics for AC-power conversion are also underneath the in-
strument.
To gain access to the drive electronics, remove the bottom cover of the instrument.
Remove all screws on the bottom cover except those that attach the dust screens for the
exhaust fans. The leveling feet do not need to be removed before detaching the bottom
cover:
