The following tables list the parameters for a Waters 2487 Detector and a
Waters 486 Detector.
2487 UV/Vis parameters:
Parameter Function Value range
λ (wavelength) Sets the wavelength of the detector. 190 to 700 in 1-nm
increments
Sensitivity Sets the sensitivity of the detector. 0.0001 to 4.0000 in
0.0001-AU
increments
Filter Sets the time constant of the filter in
the detector.
0.1 to 99.0 in
0.1-sec increments
Polarity Selects the output of the 2487 to
create positive or negative peaks.
+, –
Auto zero on
inject
Resets the output of the 2487 to 0
volts when the injection begins.

deselected
486 UV/Vis parameters:
Parameter Function Value range
λ (wavelength) Sets the wavelength of the detector. 190 to 600 in 1 nm
increments
Sensitivity Sets the sensitivity of the detector. 0.001 to 2.000 in
0.001 AU
increments
Filter Sets the time constant of the filter in
the detector.
0.1 to 5.0 in 0.1 sec
increments
Polarity Selects the output of the 486 to create
positive or negative peaks.
+, –
Auto zero on
inject
Resets the output of the 486 to 0 volts
when the injection begins.
