Specifications
• OPTICAL SYSTEM
o Photometer: Double-beam, time-shared and space-shared optical system.
Front-surfaced, reflecting optics with protective coating. Optical system
sealed within “tongue and groove” protective cover. Deuterium
background corrector.
o Monochromator: Littrow design
Wavelength Range: 185-860 nm; motorized rive for automatic
wavelength selection and parking
Diffraction Grating: 1800 lines/nm blazed at 236 nm and 597 nm
Grafting Area: 64X72 mm
Reciprocal Linear Dispersion: 1.6 nm/mm
Focal Length: 274 mm
Spectral Bandwidth: 0.2, 0.7 and 2.0 nm; motorized slit drive for
automatic slit selection. Automatically selectable slit height
settings (High or Low)
o Detector: Wide range photomultiplier with UV-transmitting window
o Light Sources: Hollow cathode lamps and electrode less discharge lamps.
Lamp elements and recommended operating currents are automatically
recognized and set when using Perkin Elmer Lumina series AA lamps.
Lamp alignment completely automatic with motorized 6 position lamp
turret.
• GAS CONTROLS & BURNER SYSTEM
o Flame Gas Controls: Computer controlled oxidant selection with
automatic gas sequencing and oxidant and fuel monitoring and control.
Keyboard-actuated remote ignition system with air-acetylene. Acetylene
flow is automatically incrementally adjusted prior to the oxidant change
when switching to or from nitrous oxide-Acetylene operation.
o Flame Safety Functions: Interlocks prevent ignition if the proper burner
head (air-acetylene or nitrous oxide-acetylene), the nebulizer/end cap, or
burner drain system is not correctly installed; the level of the liquid in the
drain vessel is incorrect; or gas pressures are too low. Interlocks also will
automatically shut down burner gases if a flame is not detected, if the
temperature of the flame shield is too high, or if any or if any of the

interlock functions is activated. Provision is included for safe shutdown
from all operating modes in the event of a power failure. Purging of the
gas box is controlled through the instrument or controller keyboard.
o Burner System: Premix burner design with high strength inert mixing
chamber, angled to ensure proper drainage. Separate fuel and oxidant lines
to the burner chamber limit combustible gas mixtures to those areas
specifically designed to accommodate them. Separate auxiliary oxidant
inlet allows variation of fuel: oxidant flow ratios without varying nebulizer
oxidant flow, thereby maintaining constant, optimum solution aspiration
rates. Includes adjustable Universal GemTip corrosion resistant nebulizer
and an all titanium, 10cm, single-slot burner head for air-acetylene
operation. Optional: High Sensitivity GemTip nebulizer and other burner
heads (10 cm 3 slot air acetylene; 5 cm single slot air acetylene; 5 cm
nitrous oxide acetylene available). Burner mount provides horizontal,
vertical, and rotational adjustments. Quick disconnect flame module
simplifies changeover to optional HGA furnace operation where the
furnace and optional autosampler are mounted on a sampling arm that can
be easily rotated into the area.
o Sample Area: 29 cm wide X 25 cm deep sample compartment
accommodates a wide variety of sampling accessories. Opens to the front
for easy access via a removable flame shield. Two detachable corrosion
resistant sample trays (each 48 cm wide X 20 cm deep)
• CONTROL & DATA SYSTEM
o User Interface: Complete PC control using AA Winlab software
operating under the Microsoft Windows operating environment. Provides
complete control of the instrument and it’s major accessories plus data
handling and storage.
o Data Handling: Instrument readings linear in absorbance (-0.500 A to +
3.000 A) concentration or emission intensity with continuously variable
scale expansion from 0.01 to 100 times. Integration times operator-
selectable from 0.1 to 60 sec in increments of 0.1 seconds. Reading modes
include time averaged integration, non averaged integration (peak area)
and peak height measurement. Includes built in statistics.
• DIMENSIONS
o 99 cm X 46 cm X 68 cm (without PC controller)
o 68 KG (without PC controller)
