2 Installation and Start Up
Installing your UV-Visible Spectrophotometer
The line power switch is located at the lower left part of the instrument.
Pressing it in turns on the instrument. It stays pressed in and shows a
green light when the instrument is turned on. When the line power switch
stands out and the green light is off, the instrument is turned off.
On the front panel of the spectrophotometer is an indicator which will
display different colors depending of the actual condition of the
instrument.
• Green: the instrument is ready to measure.
• Green, blinking: the instrument is measuring.
• Yellow: the instrument is in busy state, for example, turning one of the
lamps on or if both lamps are switched off.
• Red: Error condition, that is, the spectrophotometer does not pass one
of the self tests which are run when the spectrophotometer is turned
on or an error occurred during operation. In this case the UV-Visible
operating software gives a detailed error message and possible
explanations are in the online help system. Additionally the Reference
Manual gives information about troubleshooting.
