Lamps
Lamp Types
Two different light sources provide the light for a wavelength detection
range from 190 nm to 800 nm:
•
Deuterium lamp for ultraviolet (UV) wavelength detection
•
Tungsten lamp for visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) wavelength
detection (standard for the VF detector, optional for the
VC detectors)
The lamp house containing both lamps is temperature controlled.
Identification Chip
The lamps are equipped with an identification (ID) chip. The ID chips
store information about the lamps, including:
•
Lamp type
•
Number of lamp ignitions
•
Operating time of the lamp
