Lamp Maintenance and Cleaning
There are really no maintenance procedures for any of the PerkinElmer lamps. If
you notice fingerprints on the "window" of your lamp, wipe them off with a soft,
dry, lint free cloth. Do not use chemicals or water. See the section below regarding
lamp life and when to replace them.
Lamp Life
Both hollow cathode and electrodeless discharge lamps have a finite lifetime.
Electrodeless discharge lamps typically last longer than hollow cathode lamps for
the same element. If, while aligning a lamp, you are not able to obtain a satisfactory
energy value, this may indicate that the lamp is starting to deteriorate. As a hollow
cathode lamp reaches the end of its useful life, the current on the lamp may be
increased up to the maximum current recommended on the label. Once the
intensity of a lamp begins to deteriorate, it should be replaced. The Lumina lamps
comes with an electronic means of monitoring its usage, also in mA-Hours, with
an in-built EEPROM, that can be addressed and read from the PinAAcle AA.
PerkinElmer lamps are warrantied for 5000 mA-hour or six months whichever
comes earlier.
Lamp Troubleshooting
Refer to Chapter 8, Troubleshooting, in this manual for lamp troubleshooting
information.
Replacing the Lamps
Caution
To avoid damages to the instrument optics, do not insert uncoded non-
Lumina lamps, such as Intensitron lamps, too far into the lamp holder.
Always wear UV-absorbing safety glasses when installing, replacing or
aligning hollow cathode lamps or electodeless discharge lamps.
The ultraviolet radiation emitted by these lamps can harm your eyes.
