Two different light sources provide the light for a wavelength detection
range from 190 nm to 750 nm (VC-D40), or from 190 nm to 900 nm (VF-
D40). Note that the VIS lamp is optional for VC-D40.
Refer to the table below to find out which lamp is recommended if at
least one of your detection wavelengths is within the range indicated in
the left column.
At least one detection wavelength
≤ 345 nm
Between 346 and 670 nm
> 670 nm
Each lamp is equipped with an identification (ID) chip. The ID chip stores
information about the lamp, including the number of lamp ignitions, and
the operating time of the lamp, thus providing an overview of the lamp
status.
When a lamp is installed, the ID chip is automatically connected to the
detector electronics.
