Getting Started
Before beginning operation of the PDA-100, check the following:
•
Press the
Power
switch on the front panel to turn on the detector (see
•
Make sure the
Power
LED is lighted, but is not flashing. If the
Power
LED is
flashing, the detector failed one of the electrical checks or optical checks
performed during the power-up sequence.
•
Turn on the appropriate lamp(s) in PeakNet 6 or Chromeleon, if necessary.
The first time the detector power is turned on, both lamps are on (the factory
default settings). To change the default settings, press F8 to display the
Commands dialog box, select
UV
(to display UV-related commands), and
then select
UVLampPowerOnSetting
and/or
VisLampPowerOnSetting
.
The first time the deuterium lamp is turned on, the detector checks the
wavelength-to-pixel assignment; if a problem is detected, the
Power
LED
will flash. If this occurs, flush the flow cell with deionized water or methanol
and then turn off the detector power briefly. Turn on the power again and
verify that the
Power
LED is lighted, but is not flashing.
NOTE If solvent remains in the flow cell for an extended
period, it may form a bubble or decrease the intensity of
the light passing through the cell. This will cause the
detector to fail the wavelength calibration check
(performed the first time the deuterium lamp is turned
on after power-up) and/or the autozero.
•
Make sure the
Deuterium
and/or
Tungsten
LEDs on the detector front panel
The lamps usually require 20 to 30 minutes to stabilize. For sensitive
applications work or for detector validation, allow at least 2 hours for the
lamps to stabilize. After installing a new lamp, allow from 8 to 24 hours for
the lamp to stabilize.
