Read and follow all the
cautions below:
6: Maintenance
Introduction
The FluoroMax
®
-3 requires little maintenance. To remove dust and fingerprints, wipe
the outside panels with a clean, damp cloth. The lamp is the only component that must
be replaced routinely. Regular examination of the xenon-lamp scan and water Raman
spectrum serves as early indicators of the system’s integrity. See Chapter 3 for these
tests.
Lamp replacement
When to replace the lamp
Obtaining good spectral results depends on the xenon lamp. Keep track of lamp usage
with the hour meter. After 1200–1500 h of use, the lamp output decreases significantly,
indicating that the lamp should be replaced. A new lamp produces a peak intensity of
300 000 cps for a water-Raman scan; when the current lamp’s output drops below
100 000 cps, replace it. Replacing the lamp within the recommended time may prevent
a catastrophic failure. Each time the lamp is turned on constitutes one full hour of use.
Therefore, HORIBA Jobin Yvon Inc. suggests leaving the lamp on during brief periods
of inactivity.
