Description:
Detector lamps are subject to aging. After installing a new lamp, reset the lamp age to 0. Note that for some detectors, UVLampAge is the command for the UV lamp and VisLampAge the command for the visible lamp.
The LampAge command allows you to check the lamp age at any time. The value indicates the quality of the lamp.
Tip:
The maximum number of operating hours for a UV lamp is usually approximately 2000 hours.
Most Dionex detectors provide a range of other commands for monitoring the quality of the lamp(s).
Function:
The Log LampAge command logs the age of the optical detector lamp in the Audit Trail, indicating the values in operating hours. The lamp age is checked at the retention time at which the command was performed.
