Laser Induced Fluorescence Detection
Installation
Bench Space
The instrument and the laser require an area of approximately four feet by two feet. Allow adequate
space between instruments for air circulation (6 inch minimum). Additional space is required for a
computer, printer, and other optional equipment, if applicable. Leave adequate space around the
laser for air circulation.
CAUTION
Some laser modules produce significant quantities of heated air. Position these
lasers so that this heated air is not drawn into the instrument.
Installing the Interconnect Module
WARNING
Be sure to power down the instrument before proceeding with component
removal or installation.
If previously installed, remove the UV or PDA detector from the upper-right corner of the
instrument. Carefully install the Interconnect Module in the upper-right corner. Secure the module
by tightening the locking screw, located in the front lower middle area of this module, finger-tight.
Connecting the Laser Cable(s) to the Interconnect Module
Pull back the interlock cover, as shown in Figure 5. Hold the cable securely, and screw the fastener
into the Interconnect Module. It is important not to allow either cable to become twisted during
installation, as this may damage the fiber optic line inside the cable. Finally, install the interlock
cover as shown in Figure 5.
