7. Carefully remove the LightPipe flow cell from the LightPipe mounting assembly without
touching the ends of the LightPipe flow cell.
CAUTION Do not touch the ends of the LightPipe flow cell. This could damage the
sensitive fiber optics. See
cell to remove it from the assembly, use clean, talc-free gloves.
 To store the LightPipe flow cell
1. Remove the FingerTight fittings and any attached tubing.
2. Immediately replace the protective end caps on the ends of the LightPipe to protect the
sensitive fiber optics. See
Figure 23. LightPipe flow cell with protective end caps, ready for storage
Replacing a standard analytical flow cell with a LightPipe flow cell requires installing the
LightPipe mounting assembly.
 To install the LightPipe mounting assembly
1. Turn the detector off, unplug the detector from line power, and allow sufficient time for
the lamps to cool before you remove the lamp cover.
CAUTION To prevent possible exposure to UV light, turn the detector off and unplug
the power cord from the power receptacle on the back panel.
2. Remove the standard analytical flow cell (see
Cell Assembly" on page
3. Carefully align the two holes in the mounting assembly with the mounting screw holes in
the detector housing.
4. Ensure that you can swing the retention bar forward into the body of the mounting
assembly. See Figure
