: Turn on the CBM-20A system controller first, then the SPD-20A detector.

This guide breaks down the essential operations, maintenance, and advanced tips to help you master the SPD-20A and achieve superior chromatographic results. Key Specifications at a Glance 190 to 700 nm 190 to 900 nm Noise Level 0.5 x 10⁻⁵ AU 0.5 x 10⁻⁵ AU Linearity Up to 2.5 AU Up to 2.5 AU Light Sources Deuterium (D2) D2 + Tungsten (W) Dual Wavelength 1. Essential Startup & Operation

To ensure the longest possible life for your lamps and the most stable baseline, follow this refined startup sequence:

: The "D2" symbol on the display indicates the deuterium lamp is active. In the SPD-20AV model, you can light both the D2 and W lamps simultaneously to ensure seamless high-sensitivity analysis across the entire UV-VIS spectrum.

: Use this to monitor two wavelengths simultaneously. This is particularly useful for peak purity checks or monitoring different classes of compounds in a single injection. 2. Proactive Maintenance & Troubleshooting
