Changing parameters in Service Mode voids your warranty if you are under one. Always write down the original values before changing anything.
: Turn on the CBM-20A system controller first, then the SPD-20A detector.
: Open your software instrument control panel or navigate the module front-panel keypad. Check the box for Acquisition Channel 1 ON , assign your primary detection wavelength (e.g., 280 nm), and switch the lamp parameter from OFF to D2 . shimadzu spd20a user manual better
Don't just rely on the default settings. If you are analyzing a compound with a specific absorption maximum, the manual’s guidance on "Spectrum Scanning" is your best friend.
The manual recommends annual or semi-annual wavelength calibration using the internal holmium oxide filter.
What the original manual does well: It explains the optical layout and the basic keypad functions for setting wavelengths and auto-zeroing. : Open your software instrument control panel or
