Replacing a Lamp
If a lamp failure warning message is displayed, or you are seeing excessive noise on the baseline,
you can replace the lamps as follows.
WARNING
Electrical Hazard
High voltages are present at the lamp connectors in the lamp
compartment – severe electric shock hazard.
Never unplug or plug in a lamp cable while the power is ON.
Switch off the spectrometer and remove the plug from the electrical
supply before starting the replacement.
High Temperatures – Risk of Burns
Lamps soon become very hot; make sure that the lamps and the lamp
compartment have cooled to room temperature before you touch them.
UV Radiation
The lamps emit intense UV radiation, which can damage your eyes.
Do not open the lamp compartment when the lamps are on.
Do not look directly into a lighted lamp.
The source lamps are located in the lamp compartment at the top left and rear of the spectrometer,
as shown in Figure 31.
