Startup Procedure
NOTE: If you have purchased any accessories, then you may want to install these first
before commencing with the Startup procedure. An overview of the available
accessories is on page 52. See also the specific documentation for the 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 the instrument.
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 24.
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 from switching the power on.
7. Start the UV WinLab software.
NOTE: For optimal performance of the instrument, we recommend that you leave the
spectrometer switched on for approximately one hour to allow the lamps to warm up
and stabilize before starting analysis.
