Instrument performance testing
Problem
The results of your instrument performance tests do not meet
specifications (the results obtained during factory testing are
included in the packing crate with the instrument).
Solution
Check the following:
The sample compartment is empty.
The cable connecting the instrument to the computer is correctly
connected and the retaining screws are tightened.
The lamp is pulsing during initialization. This is indicated if the
green power indicator on the front of the instrument flashes (you
should be able to hear the lamp and you should also be able to
hear the monochromator and the filter wheel moving). If the
lamp is not pulsing you may have a hardware conflict.
The lamp is correctly aligned (refer to Chapter 4 for instructions
on aligning the lamp).
WARNING
Eye and Electrical Shock Hazards
When operating, the lamp module emits high intensity light which can
damage eyes. To avoid eye damage, never operate the lamp module outside
the instrument.
The lamp module contains components operating at high voltages. To avoid
electric shock,
never
disassemble the lamp module.
