Chapter 4 Routine Maintenance Your spectrophotometer is durable and reliable, so routine maintenance is minimal. This section includes complete instructions for: • Routine care, cleaning and maintenance of the instrument and cells • Replacing the tungsten lamp • Changing the fuse and voltage setting This section also includes a list of replacement parts and accessories.
Routine Maintenance WARNING Handle and dispose of chromic acid with care! Finally, soaking in chromic acid will remove most contaminants, but the acid should be handled, and disposed of, with care. Because of the exothermic reaction of the acid and water, any heat generated should be quickly dissipated to avoid altering the pathlength of the cell.
Routine Maintenance Replacing the tungsten lamp WARNING The lamp gets very hot during operation. Before removing the lamp, turn off the instrument and allow the lamp to cool down for 10 minutes. WARNING Turn off and unplug the instrument before removing the cover of the lamp compartment. WARNING To avoid personal injury or damage to the instrument, follow these instructions carefully! Turn off and unplug the instrument.
Page 32
Routine Maintenance Loosen the captive screw (#1, Figure 4.1) on the lamp door by rotating it counterclockwise about ¼ turn. Raise the lamp door. Unscrew the thumbscrew (#2, Figure 4.1) holding the lamp assembly (#3, Figure 4.1) in place. Carefully pull the assembly out until you can reach the connector. Release the tab (#4, Figure 4.1) and disconnect the cable.
Routine Maintenance Changing the fuse The fuse is located in the power entry module located at the center of the back panel of the instrument (#1, Figure 4.2). • 120VAC, 2.5A, Slo-Blo (2 required) • 240VAC, 1.25A, Slo-Blo (2 required) WARNING The instrument fuse must be replaced with the same type and rating fuse.
Page 34
Routine Maintenance Turn off and unplug the instrument. Position the instrument so you can access the power entry module on the back of the instrument. Remove the power cord. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver into the notch (Figure 4.3) on the fuse cover and pry off the cover.

Optical Alignment Click Flash Xenon Click OK when alignment is complete Flashing the Lamp for Alignment - Alternate Method Instruments boot differently depending on instrument model, version, and if it is calibrated. All that is required to align the optics is to light the lamp. The lamp is always lit in Visible units. Spectronic GENESYS 10 UV-Vis and Spectronic BioMate 3 (early versions) Install the ZOGH tool.
Optical Alignment To install and adjust any of the mirrors: Make sure the proper mirror has been selected for the location and is oriented with the mirrored surface facing in the correct direction as shown in Figure 6.2. (All mirrors face in toward the center of the instrument.) Insert the two mounting screws through the foot of the mirror into the base.
Page 68
Optical Alignment WARNING When in operation, certain internal components, such as the lamp and Power Supply, become hot. Avoid touching these areas. Failure to observe this warning may result in burns. WARNING High voltage is present in the instrument when power is turned on. Be very careful to avoid any voltage carrying contacts while performing these alignment procedures.
Optical Alignment Align Source Mirror A Hold the dental mirror from the Alignment Tool Kit in the area normally occupied by the filter wheel behind the entrance slit. Align the source mirror A horizontally and vertically until the beam is centered on the entrance slit as observed using the dental mirror (refer to “Mirror Adjustments").
Optical Alignment NOTE: Check the alignment by loosening the arm in the zero order grating Holder tool (compress the spring on the zero order grating Holder until the pin can be inserted into the locking hole, and the tool is locked in the ‘open’ position) and moving the grating arm to the right.
Optical Alignment Beam Alignment with Microcell in Sample Compartment Alignment Procedure: 1. Install single cell holder (335916) into the sample compartment. 2. Use a microcell (331752-000); make sure the cell is perfectly clean. 3. Partially (about ½ height) fill the microcell with deionized water. 4.

Chapter 9 SERVICE DIAGNOSTICS SOFTWARE The Service Diagnostic software can be used to both calibrate and troubleshoot the Spectronic GENESYS 10 Series of spectrophotometers, including the Spectronic GENESYS 10 Vis, Spectronic GENESYS 10 UV, Spectronic GENESYS 10 UVscanning, Spectronic GENESYS 6, Spectronic BioMate 3 and Spectronic GENESYS 10 Bio models.
Service Diagnostic Software Port Open Error. Display of the following messages indicates the following problems: Figure 9.2 Port Open Error Message Followed by: Figure 9.3 Communication Error Message Can be caused by: Instrument off or cable disconnected, wrong port. Instrument on, wrong port. Figure 9.4 Communication Error Message Error Establishing Connection Can be caused by:...
Service Diagnostic Software Figure 9-5 Diagnostic Software Main Screen - Connected Check boxes are used to change the instrument configuration. Check the box to enable a setting or remove the check to disable it and then click Update Settings. The Serial Number field is active only when the box is checked.
Service Diagnostic Software Keypad Click Indicates that key closure will Turns off the key closure audible result in an audible beep only feedback during an error condition Set Date and Time Not applicable The date and time of the instrument will be changed to that of the computer.
Service Diagnostic Software Reset Spectronic GENESYS 10 Performs a full power-up reboot sequence. Query Instrument Updates the display with the current status of the instrument. Update Settings Updates the instrument with the displayed settings. Calibrate Performs a complete wavelength calibration of the instrument. Requires the use of a Didymium Filter.

Service Diagnostic Software Capacitor or Voltage simply selects a different capacitor or resistor value to use in the feedback loop. Use the Detector board Diagnostic screen to test for proper detector operation. The higher the gain number, the higher the Energy level should be. The reading will saturate around 6,300,000 counts. For each capacitor or resistor change there should be a corresponding change in the Sample Energy or Reference Energy level.

Service Diagnostic Software Figure 9.16 UV-Vis Typical Energy Level at 200nm Figure 9 17 UV-Vis Typical Energy Level at 1100nm In the Vis model, the Reference Energy will be displayed as ‘1’ since there is no Reference Detector board. 9-11...
Page 164
Service Diagnostic Software Figure 9.18 Vis Typical Energy Level at 546nm NOTE: In the above, if the sample energy is at maximum (>6000000), then there is no energy reaching the Detector board. Check the light path for blockage or misalignment. If these are not a problem, then replace the Detector board.
Service Diagnostic Software When the capacitor gain is increased by an increment of 1, the gain steps and gain ratios for the Vis and UV models should be: Table 9. 2 Capacitor Gain Table Step (n) Gain Step Ratio (Energy n)/(Energy n-1) 1.0000 1.2670 1.2670 –...
