Startup Procedure
NOTE: If you have purchased accessories, you may want to install these first before
commencing with the Startup procedure. In this case, see the manual for the
relevant accessory.
CAUTION
Do not turn power to the instrument on and off quickly as this may
damage the power supply.
Wait at least 30 seconds before restarting.
1. Open the sample compartment cover.
2. Make sure that the beam paths are free from obstruction.
This means that no objects (for example, cables) project into the beam paths, no
samples are in the sample compartment, and any accessories are properly installed.
NOTE: If the sample compartment is obstructed during the startup procedure, the
spectrometer will not initialize correctly.
3. Close the sample compartment cover.
4. Switch on the power switch located at the top right hand corner of the instrument as
shown in Figure 8.
The switch will light up when there is power to the instrument.

5. Switch on any accessories.
6. Wait until all instrument initialization is complete.
This will take approximately three minutes after you switch the power on.
7. Start the UV WinLab software.
NOTE: We recommend that for optimal performance of the instrument you should leave the
spectrometer switched on for approximately one hour to allow the lamps to warm up
and stabilize before starting analysis.
