Limas11 IR, Limas21 UV, Limas21 HW: Amplification optimization 
Definition 
The amplification optimization procedure automatically seeks and identifies 
the optimum measurement range for the sample and reference receiver 
analog/digital converter. 
When should amplification optimization be performed? 
Amplification optimization should be performed, 
•  after the lamp (EDL) has been replaced, 
•  after a module (sample cell, calibration cell, interference filter, receiver) 
has been removed or inserted in the beam path, 
•  if the status message No. 301 "Measurement value exceeds the ana-
log/digital converter value range" is present (with system housing 
closed light-proof). 
NOTE 
Amplification optimization alone cannot correct the causes for the status 
messages No. 358 and 359 "Lamp intensity above or below (middle of) per-
missible range". 
How should amplification optimization be performed? 
•  When the lamp has been replaced: 
•  Write down the serial number of the new lamp prior to installation. 
•  Perform amplification optimization for all sample components, 
thereby entering the serial number of the new lamp.   
•  When a module has been removed or inserted in the beam path: 
•  Write down the serial number of the installed lamp. 
•  Perform amplification optimization for all sample components, 
thereby entering an arbitrary lamp number. 
•  Perform amplification optimization for all sample components, 
thereby entering the serial number of the installed lamp. 
•  When the status message No. 301 is present: 
•  Perform amplification optimization for each sample component for 
which the status message is present. 
Test gas 
The zero gas supply should be turned on during amplification optimization.
