Getting Started

This chapter provides important information about installing your

accessory.

Installing the mercury lamp

This accessory consists of a mercury discharge lamp mounted in a

dedicated unit.

Warning Before installing the mercury lamp, turn off the power to the

spectrophotometer and disconnect the spectrophotometer power cord from

the wall outlet or power strip to avoid exposure to hazardous UV

radiation. 

Warning Never look directly at the light beam or at its bright reflection. Always wear

protective glasses that will absorb UV radiation. 

1. Turn off the instrument and disconnect the spectrophotometer

power cord from the wall outlet.

2. Remove the access port cover.

The mercury lamp access port is located at the rear of the instrument to

the right of the sample compartment.

Remove the access port cover by rotating the quarter turn fastener

counterclockwise using a straight bladed screwdriver, or the edge of a

suitable coin.
