Tips for installing lamps

Use only PerkinElmer lamps. You can use both hollow cathode and
electrodeless discharge lamps.

Do not touch the front window of the lamp; perspiration or other
contamination can reduce the intensity of the radiation.

If you install more than one lamp containing a particular element, for
example, a single-element copper lamp and a multi-element lamp containing
copper, the system will use the lamp in the holder with the lower number
when you perform determinations of that element. Make sure that you place
the preferred lamp in the holder with the lower number.

With EDLs, connect each lamp plug to the socket that has the same number
as the holder of the lamp.

With EDLs, make sure that you use the correct coding plug and connect it to
the receptacle on the lamp holder containing the EDL.

If you use the wrong coding plug or connect the coding plug to the wrong
receptacle, you will cause the spectrometer to malfunction and may cause
irreparable damage to the lamp.
