Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Introduction This service manual applies to SPD-20A, SPD-20AV and SPD-20A UFLC detectors. The difference between the construction of 20A and 20AV models is the positioning of the tungsten (W) lamp, the W lamp power supply, and the mercury (Hg) lamp used for wavelength calibration.
228-90095F Chapter 2 Specifications Please read a see instruction manual. Chapter 3 Measurement systems 3.1 Optical system Figure 3.1 illustrates the instrument’s optical system. It is equipped with a D2 lamp and W lamp (model 20AV) for the light source. The angle of mirror M1 is used to choose between the two light sources.

228-90095F cell, the respective light enters a silicon photodiodes (D1 and D2) where it is converted to an electrical signal that is proportional to the light intensity. The light entering the cells, or in other words, the wavelength being measured during analysis, is selected by changing the angle of the grating.
228-90095F 3.2 Electrical system The electrical system can be separated into four major sections, the signal processing circuits, the light source power supply circuits, the drive circuits (grating, filters and mirrors), and key board (operator controls). 3.2.1 Signal processing circuits After passing through the measurement and reference cells, the respective light beams (intensity) I and I...
228-90095F 3.2.2 Lamp power supply circuits The deuterium lamp (D2 lamp) is controlled via a fixed current circuit to provide a stable light source that is not affected by power fluctuations. In addition, this circuit has a fixed discharge current for automatically turning on the lamp. A high voltage is applied and the filament is heated until the lamp is illuminated.

228-90095F 7.1.3.3 Changing the gain of pre-amplifier (PB-1 ASSY) If the light intensity is over the standard level after the optical system is adjusted, lower the gain of the pre-amplifier by 7 % by the procedure described below. * The lamp and optical elements (e.g. mirror, grating) of instruments where the pre-amplifier has been modified may have to be replaced in several months to several years depending on use frequency.
None of the log records can be deleted. 7.2.4 Date and time Each log records the date and time of each event, but model SPD-20A does not have a backup clock, so the expression of date and time may differ depending on the system status.
228-90095F time settings have not been entered, dates for log entries will use total system usage time values, expressed in the form T000001 (total usage time of one hour) 7.2.5 Password Instrument calibration and hardware related settings are performed using the calibration support group functions.
* Note the guideline for initial replacement is 2000 hours. 7.2.10 Voltage at data recorder output terminal The recorder output terminal voltage for model SPD-20A is 10 mV. If the recorder input full scale is 1 mV, use one of the following methods to change the full scale level.
