Action
Push the latch on the UV detector to disconnect the detector.
Note:
While the UV detector is disconnected, the UV lamp becomes inoperable so
no UV light can be emitted from the instrument.
Pull off the detector and the flow cell from the monochromator. Be careful
not to damage the UV flow cell.
Note:
Make sure that the flow cell does not come into contact with any liquid, and
that no liquid enters the UV detector or monochromator.
Note:
While the UV detector is disconnected, protect the fiber connectors from dust
or other impurities by mounting the rubber protective caps onto them.
Note:
Do not touch the optical fiber connectors as this will result in poor monitor
performance. If you accidentally touch the optical fiber connectors, clean
them according to Clean the optical fiber connectors, on page 344.
Pull off the UV flow cell from the detector.
