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.

Note This will not be needed when the mercury lamp is in place but should be
stored in a safe location so it can be reinstalled if the mercury lamp is later
removed.
2. Plug the mercury lamp into the socket.
The mercury lamp occupies the socket, which is exposed by removing
the blanking plate.
Align the locating pins with the holes in the base of the mercury lamp
and ensure that the lamp base is located securely against the spring
loaded toggle.
