5.5.3
Replace the UV monitor flow cell
Introduction
The UV monitor may need replacement in two situations:
•
Changing between 2 mm and 5 mm path length flow cells
•
Replacing a defective flow cell
The replacement procedure is the same in both cases. However, if you are changing
between different path lengths, handle the replaced flow cell with care.
CAUTION
The system uses high intensity ultra-violet light that is harmful to
the eyes. Before changing or cleaning the UV cell optical fiber, make
sure that the UV lamp is disconnected or that the power is discon-
nected.
Maintenance interval
Replace the UV flow cell when a flow cell with a different path length is required, or if
the cell is damaged. Clean the optical fiber connectors if they are accidentally touched
during flow cell replacement.
