Aligning the source mirror
For optimum performance of the instrument, the source mirror
should be aligned to suit the new lamp module.
To align the source mirror:
1 Start the Align application by clicking the Windows Start button
and choosing (All) Programs, Agilent, Cary WinUV, (or Agilent,
UV/UV FO Dissolution) then Align.
2 On the Cary tabbed page, set the following parameters:
Beam Mode: Single Beam, Normal
Y Mode: %T
Ave. Time: 0.5000
Wavelength: 500 nm
3 Click Apply.
4 Remove the snap-out panel (refer to Figure 5) from the front of
the instrument, using a flat-blade screwdriver to pry the panel
open. This exposes the two source mirror adjustment screws.
Do not remove the plastic bung next to the adjustment screws.
