ENGLISH TROUBLESHOOTING Review the information in the table below to troubleshoot operating problems. Problem Cause Solution Power on, no response Power cord connection is not reliable Improve connection Fuse burning Replace fuse Measurement uncertainty Sample is not stable Improve the sample Glass cuvettes used in UV region Use quartz cuvettes The sample concentration is too high Dilute the sample...
ENGLISH REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE Daily Maintain Check the compartment: After measurement, the cuvettes with sample solutions should be taken out of the compartment in time. Or the volatilization of the solution would make the mirror go moldy. Users must pay more attention to the corrosive sample and liquid easy to volatilize. Any solution remains in the compartment should be wipe off immediately.
