There is s till no
light at the TIDAS
S 300 UV/VIS
detector
TIDAS S 300
UV/VIS does not
work properly
If light exits the optical fiber, set the integration
time of the TIDAS S 300 UV/VIS to approx.
200 ms and take a intensity scan with the fiber
optic input of the instrument pointed against your
room light to ensure its functionality.
Using the QFT 2,
there is no
light at the TIDAS
S 300 UV/VIS
detector
Integration time
set too low
Set integration time to approx. 3000 ms, take an
intensity reading. Check if highest intensity is
approx. 50000 cts and redo experiment with
different integration times until successful.
Using the QFT 2,
there is still no
light at the TIDAS
S 300 UV/VIS
detector
Fibers not
properly
connected to
TIDAS S300 and
the QFT2
Check if fibers are broken and that all fiber optic
connectors a screwed into the QFT and the
spectrometers finger-tight.
