® L A B W A R E 1.3 Electrical Before switching on the apparatus, make sure it is set to the voltage of the local power supply (see Installation). The power cord shall be inserted in a socket provided with a protective earth contact. The protective action must not be negated by the use of an extension cord without a protective conductor.
2. INTRODUCTION OF THE INSTRUMENT 2.1 Brief Introduction of the instrument The LLG-uniSPEC 1 is a single beam, general purpose instrument designed to meet the needs of the Conventional Laboratory, This instrument is ideal for various applications, such as: Chemistry, Biochemistry, Petro-chemistry, Environmental Protection, Food and Beverage Labs, Water and Waste Water Labs and other fields of quality control and research.
® L A B W A R E 2.2 Working Principle Different matter has different but special absorbance wavelength point. Also, when at the fixed wavelength point, the absorbance has some relation to the substance’s (Always transparent Solution) concentration and its thickness. The relation can be concluded as the following Formula, which is called Lambert-Beer Law.

OPERATION MANUAL 4 Operation Introduction 4.1 Software Structure 4.1.1 Main Interface Fig 4-1 Main Interface After 20 minutes’ warm-up, the system goes into main interface. (Fig.4-1) Press the key of to change the functions. MODE 4.1.2 Firmware Functions The firmware consists of 5 functions: T, A, C, F and system functions 1) T To measure the Transmittance of a sample in a fixed wavelength point.
® L A B W A R E 4.2 Basic Operation 4.2.1 Set Wavelength In the measurement Interface, press to go into wavelength setting Interface. Use GOTO λ Arrow Key to increase or decrease the value of wavelength, then press to confirm.
OPERATION MANUAL 4.4 Measurement 4.4.1 T-Mode Step 1, Go into T Mode Interface In the Main Interface, press Key to move the cursor on “T”, you will see the current MODE sample’s T% value. Press , to go into Continuous Measurement Interface. Fig. 4-2; ENTER Fig.
® L A B W A R E 1) When the optional Printer is linked to the instrument, if you want to print out the test result, use Arrow Key to choose “Print”, then press to confirm. After printing, the ENTER data will be deleted from the Photometer.

OPERATION MANUAL 2) Create Curve If you want to create a new standard curve by several standard samples, Use Arrow Key to move the cursor on “Create Curve”, then press to confirm. The system will ask you to ENTER input the quantity of your standard samples. (Fig.4-7). Note: The default quantity is “3”.
Page 14
® L A B W A R E Step 4, Input Standard Samples’ Concentration Pull the 1# Standard Sample in the light path and input the value of its concentration by the Arrow key, then press to confirm. The system will go into the next interface. ENTER (Fig.4-10) Fig.

OPERATION MANUAL 3) Load Curve All the curve equations will be saved in the Photometer automatically. If you want to reload the saved curve, just follow the following steps: Move the cursor on “Load Curve” and press to confirm. Then the system will go into ENTER the curve equation record interface.(Fig.
® L A B W A R E Move the cursor on the curve equation that you want to delete and press , then system ENTER will ask you to confirm again. (Fig. 4-16) Fig. 4-16 Move the cursor on “Yes” and press to confirm, then the curve equation will be ENTER deleted.

(Fig.4-20) ENTER Fig.4-20 Step 2, Set Wavelength Press to go into wavelength setting interface, input the wavelength value by GOTO λ...
® L A B W A R E Step 3, Calibrate 100%T/0Abs Press to go into continuous measurement interface (Fig. 4-22). Put the Reference ENTER Solution in the light path, then press to calibrate 100%T/0Abs; ZERO Fig. 4-22 Step 4, Measurement Put the samples to be measured in the light path, press to measure, then the result ENTER...
OPERATION MANUAL 5.2 Get Dark Current When the working condition changes, a dark current calibration is required before any measurement. Use Arrow key to choose “Dark Current” and press to confirm (Fig. 4-25) ENTER Note: Remove the cuvettes from the light path first. Do not open the lid of the compartment during the course of calibration.
® L A B W A R E 5.3 Wavelength Calibration After some time, the energy of lights drops off which can have a slight influence on the test result. In this case, users can reset the wavelength to compensate. We suggest the users to calibrate the wavelength every one or two months.
OPERATION MANUAL 5.5 Version Press Arrow Key to choose “Version” and press ENTER to confirm. You will see the version of the software and hardware. (Fig.4-30). Press to return. Fig. 4-30 Due to different software versions and updates, what you see on the instrument screen maybe different from the one showed in the above fig.
