Maintenance and care
AZURA® Detector UVD 2.1L Instructions, V6831
Mount the flow cell onto the detector.
8.5 Replacing the fiber optics
UV light will cause the fiber optics to become blind with time (solariza-
tion), making them no longer suitable for use.
Note:
Observe the following regarding the use of fiber optics:
Do not touch the ends of the fiber optics with your fingers, as this
could falsify the measurement.
Handle the fiber optics with care and avoid impacts.
Move the fiber optics carefully without using pressure or bending it.
Detector is switched off.
