Intended use The Qmix λ modules serve the spectral analysis of fluids in flow. They are intended only to be used in a Qmix micro reaction system from CETONI GmbH. The application is usually carried out in laboratory- like rooms.
5 Transportation and storage The individual modules must not be lifted or transported plugged-together. Transportation of plugged- together devices is only allowed in the original packaging. Use the original packaging for transportation or shipping of the module. Concerning the storage conditions, please observe the data from chapter “Technical data”. CAUTION.
6 Operation The Qmix λ modules allow performing a spectral analysis of fluids within a flow measuring cell of variable length. The installation and handling of the spectrometer are described in the related spectrometer manual. This can be found on the supplied CD. Read this manual and follow the instructions it gives, before connecting the module to your system.
Fluid Window Window Light source Spectrometer CAUTION. Check chemical resistance of the wetted parts against the used chemicals before using the device. CAUTION. The flow measuring cell is suitable for a maximum operating pressure of 10 bar. Make sure that the tubing, you want to use, is also suitable for the expected pressure.

Anschlussstück mit Connection piece with light source or Lichtquelle oder SMA 905 connector SMA 905 Anschluss Fluidic connection The fluidic connection of the measuring cell is achieved with 1/16” tubing and coned 10-32 UNF fittings (for instance IDEX F-120). The direction of flow through the measuring cell does not matter. So it is your decision which of the ports you would like to be in- or outlet.
The larger module is equipped with the SMA 905 connector by default. Insert the fiber of the external light source into the connector and tighten the union nut. LED light source SMA 905 connector Dial Changing the light source (small module) You can replace the LED attachment, for example in order to change the wavelength of the emitted light.
