Thanks for joining us for this Restek Tip. Our topic today is changing detector lamps. So,&nbsp;modern deuterium lamps have a lifetime of about 2,000 hours. But,&nbsp;always check with your instrument vendor for the&nbsp;recommended&nbsp;replacement schedule. Some indications that the lamp is reaching the end of its usable lifetime are low energy, noisy baseline, or even failing to light when the detector is powered on. Now, when it comes time to change the lamp, you want to power off the detector, make sure it\u2019s unplugged, and then give it five or ten minutes so the lamp will be cool to the touch. Depending on the model, the lamp cover can be accessed either from the front, side, or top panel. You want to remove the lamp cover, disconnect the wiring harness, undo the holding screws, and then remove the old lamp and dispose of it properly. When you\u2019re putting the new lamp in place, always wear gloves, or hold on to it&nbsp;with a&nbsp;chem&nbsp;wipe&nbsp;or a paper towel, so that the oils from your fingers don\u2019t get on the glass surface. When it\u2019s in use,&nbsp;the lamp gets&nbsp;really hot, and any residue or oil on that surface could overheat and cause the lamp to explode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the time,&nbsp;there\u2019s going to be a little alignment pin next to one of the mounting screws,&nbsp;and that&#8217;s just to make sure that when you put the new lamp in place, it\u2019s seated properly. So, connect the two installation screws, replace the wiring harness.&nbsp;Then,&nbsp;replace the access panel and the cover panel for the detector. Then,&nbsp;check the manual to see is there is any kind of wavelength calibration procedure that\u2019s required before you start running samples. So, it\u2019s a pretty simple procedure. It takes maybe five or ten minutes, and it\u2019s really easy for you to do yourself. So, thanks for joining us, and stay tuned for more tips from your friends at Restek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don\u2019t be left in the dark!
