2.5 Reference measurements
Suitable reference measurements are absolutely necessary to ensure that precise,
undistorted measurement results are achieved. The reference measurement pro-
cedure depends on the spectrometer's measurement geometry and configuration;
a distinction is also made between single and double beam setups.
Reference measurements should be documented and compared on a regular
basis. A possible drop in intensity in the reference measurements may indicate
heavy contamination of the light guides or aging of the light guides. Perform a
reference measurement every time after cleaning the light guides, after replacing
part of the measuring system or after a re-installation, and record the results in a
report.
A drop in intensity may be due to a number of different factors:
• Defective light guide
• Defective spectrometer cassette
• Ageing of the light source
1. Check all electrical connections on the measuring system on a regular basis.
2. Conduct regular checks to see whether the light guides are kinked or whether
any fiber breakage has impaired the performance of the light guides. Individual
light guides can be easily checked by replacing them with spare light guides,
then comparing the reference measurements.
3. Replace the probe bulbs regularly.
2.6 Replacing wear parts
For replacements, only use the parts specified in the spare parts list. These parts
can be requested by contacting customer service and providing the respective or-
der number. Since all of the system's components (including the light guides, etc.)
are designed specifically to be used with one another, it is not possible to provide
information regarding the effects that parts supplied by other manufacturers may
have on the measuring system. The operator is therefore solely responsible for
the effects of using spare parts produced by other manufacturers.
