DR/2000 and DR/2010 Spectrophotometer
Wavelength Calibration Adjustment
Purpose
These instructions provide a step-by-step procedure for performing a wavelength calibration
adjustment for the DR/2000 Spectrophotometer (software versions 2.0, 2.2, 3.0 and greater) and
DR/2010 Spectrophotometer. Do not
perform this procedure if your instrument has 1.261 or 1.27
software! Perform the adjustment any time the lamp assembly (Cat. No. 46644-00) is replaced
and periodically for optimum performance. The adjustment assures the best possible accuracy
and repeatability. Use the Calibration Filter Assembly (Cat. No. 46646-00) to make the
adjustment.
Start by following the three steps below. Then choose the step-by-step instructions that apply to
the specific instrument and software you are using to finish the calibration adjustment.
1. If lamp replacement is necessary, see the Lamp Replacement instructions shipped with
the lamp.
2. Determine which software version applies to the spectrophotometer being adjusted. For the
DR/2010 Spectrophotometer, the software version will briefly appear after the instrument is
turned on. For the DR/2000 Spectrophotometer, different messages will appear, depending
on the software in the instrument (see Table 1):
Select the appropriate wavelength calibration adjustment procedure on the following pages
and continue.
