5 Repairing the Fluorescence Detector
Introduction into Repairing the Fluorescence Detector
Simple Repairs
The detector is designed for easy repair. The most frequent repairs such as
flow cell change can be done from the front of the detector with the detector in
place in the system stack. These repairs are described in “Simple Repairs" on
page 134.
Exchanging Internal Parts
Some repairs may require exchange of defective internal parts. Exchange of
these parts (including flash lamp) requires removing the detector from the
stack, removing the covers, and disassembling the detector. The security lever
at the power input socket prevents the detector cover from being removed
when line power is still connected. These repairs are described in “Exchanging
Internal Parts" on page 142.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury, the power cable must be removed from the instrument
before opening the detector cover. Do not connect the power cable to the detector
while the covers are removed.
When working with solvents please observe appropriate safety procedures (for
example, goggles, safety gloves and protective clothing) as described in the
material handling and safety data sheet supplied by the solvent vendor, especially
when toxic or hazardous solvents are used.
CAUTION
Electronic boards and components are sensitive to electronic discharge (ESD). In order
to prevent damage always use an ESD protection (for example, the ESD wrist strap
from the accessory kit) when handling electronic boards and components (see “Using
the ESD Strap" on page 132).
CAUTION
There is a risk of damaging hardware due to overheating when operating the
instrument without covers.
