January 

2004 

Chapter 3, UV6000LP Quick Start - 

Contains example procedures for 

running a standard on the UV6000LP using ChromQuest Ver. 4.1.    

Chapter 4, Routine Maintenance

 - Recommends and includes 

procedures for routine maintenance to keep your detector in peak 
operating condition. 

Chapter 5, Diagnostics

 - Describes the user interface and use of the 

UV6000LP Diagnostics program supplied with ChromQuest Ver. 4.1 
and the Instrument Manager supplied with Atlas Ver. 2003, R2. 
Although this is part of the software, it is included here rather than in 
the software manual since it is specific to this detector.  Several 
diagnostic procedures are recommended as routine maintenance in 
Chapter 4. 

Chapter 6, Troubleshooting

 - Contains a table of symptoms, possible 

causes, and remedies for some common problems you may observe 
when using your detector. 

Chapter 7, Accessories and Replacement Parts

 - Lists accessories and 

user spare parts for the detector and includes Thermo Electron part 
numbers. 

Chapter 

8, 

Field Service Procedures

 - provides detailed instructions 

for factory trained service personnel to perform field repairs. 

UV6000LP Functional Description 

This brief functional description of the UV6000LP is included to 
assist you with troubleshooting potential problems and performing 
routine maintenance on your detector. For more detailed information, 
contact your Thermo Electron representative. 

The UV6000LP Detector is packaged as a bench-top unit for 
inclusion in a liquid chromatography system. It is designed to be 
remotely operated over a serial communications link from a PC using 
either Microsoft Windows NT/2000 based ChromQuest or Atlas 
software. The detector consists of a dual-light source, an optical 
bench, a photodiode array, a low voltage power supply, and several 
printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs). 

Figure 1.1 shows the optical system used in the detector. The dual-
light source includes a deuterium lamp for detection in the ultraviolet 
wavelength range (190 nm to 350 nm) and a tungsten - halogen lamp 
for detection in the visible wavelength range (350 nm to 800 nm).  
There is some overlap between the two lamps in the 300 nm to 
500 nm range.
