WARNING
The lamp may be hot.
CAUTION
Do not touch the detector cell. Any dust or dirt in the detector cell can
be blown out with a gentle jet of carrier gas.
Replacing the UV Lamp or Installing a New One
1. Place the new o-ring on the new lamp.
2. Without touching the lamp window, place the new lamp into Explorer
lampholder, window first.
NOTE: Do not insert any object, other than the UV lamp, into the lampholder.
3. Replace the lamp housing cover and then replace the access cover.
4. Calibrate the GC and TVOC and then continue normal operation.
Cleaning the UV Lamp Window
Since some UV inhibiting deposits are invisible to the eye, regular cleaning of the
lamp window is strongly recommended. It is best to clean the lamp frequently, once
a month or more depending on the detector usage, to prevent a heavy build-up of
deposits that may be difficult to remove.
