Troubleshooting

AZURA® Detector DAD 6.1L, DAD 2.1L, MWD 2.1L Instructions, V6700

8.2  Possible problems and solutions

Problem

Solution

Baseline drift

Maintain constant temperature conditions 

during the measurement.

Device cannot be swit-

ched on

Inspect the power cable to ensure that it is 

plugged into the power sup ply.

Device cannot be 

calibra ted

1. 

Insert the test cell.

2. 

Inspect the calibration with a weak absor-

bing eluent.

Baseline noise

1. 

Inspect the flow-cell assembly.

2. 

Exchange the defective flow cell.

3. 

Inspect the service life of the lamp on the 

display.

4. 

Reduce the air in the flow cell by using a 

degasser.

The relationship of the 

signal to the light path 

reference is very low

1. 

Flush the flow cell.

2. 

Replace the lamps

Low UV light

Clean fiber optic ends with alcohol and cot-

ton bud.

 

ƒ

Install the maintenance software (Service Tool).

 

ƒ

Save device information and send to manufacturer.

 

ƒ

Inform the Technical Support of KNAUER.
