Lamp Replacement

An aged lamp is the most common cause of excessive baseline noise or drift, especially at low
UV wavelengths. Lamp life may be read on the CNFG LOG screen. The detector lightsource
is the only Series 200 UV/VIS LC Detector component that may require routine replace-
ment.
You can start the lamp replacement from either the front panel or rear panel of the instru-
ment. The following steps should be followed for lamp removal and installation (both deute-
rium and tungsten light sources).
Note that the replacement part number for a tungsten lamp is 2450-0213.
