Assembling the UltraPath 2 system
1.
Prepare a clear workspace for all components.
2.
From left to right place the following components on the workspace: UltraPath 2
sample cell, LWCC injection system, Peri-Star Pro peristaltic pump and TIDAS S 300
UV/VIS spectrometer.
3.
Use a 600
μ
m core diameter fiber optic cable (18) to connect the light output (17) of
the TIDAS S 300 UV/VIS spectrometer to the fiber optic input connector (1) of the
UltraPath 2 sample cell.
4.
Use a 600
μ
m core diameter fiber optic cable (19) to connect the light output (4) of
the UltraPath 2 Fiber Optic Switch to the fiber optic input (11) of the TIDAS S 300
UV/VIS spectrometer.
5.
Connect the TIDAS S 300 UV/VIS to the network via the RJ45 connector.
6.
Connect the Power cord supplied with the to the TIDAS S 300 UV/VIS to the Input
Terminal (16) of the TIDAS S 300 UV/VIS and the mains.
7.
Assemble the sample injector loop of the UltraPath 2 Sample Injector Kit (5) by
sliding on a nut and a ferrule and then screwing the assembly into the bulkhead
fitting labelled
“liquid
in” (2) of the
UltraPath 2 sample cell. Note: there are two ways
the yellow ferrule will go onto the tubing; the wider side should face the end of the
assembly. Finger tighten only!
Place the injector into a sample vial filled with de
‑
ionized water.
8.
Use the silicone pump tubing (6) to connect the liquid output port (3) of the
UltraPath 2 sample cell via the Peri-Star Pro peristaltic pump to the Waste bottle (11)
(See Peri-Star Pro instruction manual for details).
9.
Turn on the Peri-Star Pro and the TIDAS S 300 UV/VIS
—
allow lamp to warm up at
least 15 minutes before sampling.
