1 Introduction

Introduction to the Detector

The detector is designed for highest optical performance, GLP compliance and easy maintenance. It includes the following features:

• 80 Hz data acquisition rate for (ultra-) fast LC applications (requires

internal hard disk, G1315C and G1365C only),

• data recovery (DRC) feature provides data-never-lost insurance (requires

internal hard disk, G1315C and G1365C only),

• RFID tags for all flow cells and UV-lamps provides traceable information

about these assemblies,

• long-life deuterium with RFID tag and tungsten lamps for highest intensity

and lowest detection limit over a wavelength range of 190–950 nm,

• no loss in sensitivity for up to eight wavelengths simultaneous,

• programmable slit from 1–16 nm for complete optimization of sensitivity,

linearity and spectral resolution,

• optional flow-cell cartridges with RFID tag (standard 10 mm 13 µl,

semi-micro 6 mm 5 µl, micro 3 mm 2 µl, 80 nl, 500 nl, 10 mm, high pressure 10 mm 1.7 µl and prep-cells) are available and can be used depending on the application needs,

• easy front access to lamps and flow cell for fast replacement, and

• built-in holmium oxide filter for fast wavelength accuracy verification,

• built-in temperature control for improved baseline stability,

• additional diagnostic signals for temperature and lamp voltage monitoring,

For specifications, see “Performance Specifications” on page 38.

Optical System

The optical system of the detector is shown in Figure below. Its illumination source is a combination of a deuterium-arc-discharge lamp for the ultraviolet (UV) wavelength range and a tungsten lamp for the visible (VIS) and short-wave near-infrared (SWNIR) wavelength range. The image of the filament of the tungsten lamp is focused on the discharge aperture of the deuterium lamp by means of a special rear-access lamp design which allows both light sources to be optically combined and share a common axis to the source lens. The achromat (source lens) forms a single, focused beam of light through the flow cell. Each cell room and lamp are separated by a quartz window which can be cleaned or replaced. In the spectrograph, light is being dispersed onto the diode array by a holographic grating. This allows simultaneous access to all wavelength information.

1 Introduction

Optical System

Lamps The light source for the UV-wavelength range is a deuterium lamp with a

shine-through aperture. As a result of plasma discharge in low-pressure deuterium gas, the lamp emits light over the 190 nm to approximately 800 nm wavelength range. The light source for the visible and SWNIR wavelength range is a low noise tungsten lamp. This lamp emits light over the wavelength range 470 – 950 nm.

Compartment

Spectrograph The spectrograph material is ceramic to reduce thermal effects to a minimum.

The achromat receives the light from both lamps and focuses it so that the beam passes through the flow cell.

The holmium oxide filter is electromechanically actuated. During the holmium filter test it moves into the light path.

The cell support window assembly separates the holmium filter area from the flow cell area.

The optical unit has a flow cell compartment for easy access to flow cells. A variety of optional flow cells can be inserted using the same quick, simple mounting system. The flow cell can be removed to check the optical and electronic performance of the detector without having influences from the flow cell.

The spectrograph consists of the spectrograph lens, the variable entrance slit, the grating and the photodiode array with front-end electronics. The spectrograph lens refocuses the light beam after it has passed through the flow cell. The sampling interval of the diode array is < 1 nm over the wavelength range 190 – 950 nm. Depending on the wavelength this varies from 1.0 to 1.25 diodes per nanometer (for example a diode every 0.8 to 1 nm).

For a small wavelength range, the small non-linearity could be neglected. With the wavelength range from 190 – 950 nm a new approach is required to achieve wavelength accuracy over the full range. Each spectrograph is calibrated individually. The calibration data is stored in the spectrograph on an EEPROM. Based on these data, the built-in processors calculate absorbance data with linear intervals (1.0, 2.0, …) between data points. This results in an excellent wavelength accuracy and instrument-to-instrument reproducibility.

Variable Entranc e

Slit System

12 Agilent 1260 Infinity DAD and MWD User Manual

The micro-slit system makes use of the mechanical properties of silicon combined with the precise structuring capabilities of bulk micro-machining. It combines the required optical functions — slit and shutter — in a simple and compact component. The slit width is directly controlled by the micro-processor of the instrument and can be set as method parameter.

Introduction

Optical System

Grating The combination of dispersion and spectral imaging is accomplished by using

a concave holographic grating. The grating separates the light beam into all its component wavelengths and reflects the light onto the photodiode array.

Diode Array The diode array is a series of 1024 individual photodiodes and control circuits

located on a ceramic carrier. With a wavelength range from 190 – 950 nm the sampling interval is < 1 nm.

1 Introduction

Early Maintenance Feedback (EMF)

Maintenance requires the exchange of components which are subject to wear or stress. Ideally, the frequency at which components are exchanged should be based on the intensity of usage of the module and the analytical conditions, and not on a predefined time interval. The early maintenance feedback (EMF) feature monitors the usage of specific components in the instrument, and provides feedback when the user-selectable limits have been exceeded. The visual feedback in the user interface provides an indication that maintenance procedures should be scheduled.

EMF Counters

EMF counters increment with use and can be assigned a maximum limit which

provides visual feedback in the user interface when the limit is exceeded. Some counters can be reset to zero after the required maintenance procedure.

Using the EMF Counters

The user-settable EMF limits for the EMF Counters enable the early maintenance feedback to be adapted to specific user requirements. The useful maintenance cycle is dependent on the requirements for use. Therefore, the definition of the maximum limits need to be determined based on the specific operating conditions of the instrument.

Setting the EMF Limits

The setting of the EMF limits must be optimized over one or two maintenance cycles. Initially the default EMF limits should be set. When instrument performance indicates maintenance is necessary, take note of the values displayed by the EMF counters. Enter these values (or values slightly less than the displayed values) as EMF limits, and then reset the EMF counters to zero. The next time the EMF counters exceed the new EMF limits, the EMF flag will be displayed, providing a reminder that maintenance needs to be scheduled.

Instrument Layout

The industrial design of the module incorporates several innovative features. It uses Agilent’s E-PAC concept for the packaging of electronics and mechanical assemblies. This concept is based upon the use of expanded polypropylene (EPP) layers of foam plastic spacers in which the mechanical and electronic boards components of the module are placed. This pack is then housed in a metal inner cabinet which is enclosed by a plastic external cabinet. The advantages of this packaging technology are:

• virtual elimination of fixing screws, bolts or ties, reducing the number of

components and increasing the speed of assembly/disassembly,

• the plastic layers have air channels molded into them so that cooling air can

be guided exactly to the required locations,

• the plastic layers help cushion the electronic and mechanical parts from

physical shock, and

• the metal inner cabinet shields the internal electronics from

electromagnetic interference and also helps to reduce or eliminate radio frequency emissions from the instrument itself.

1 Introduction

Electrical Connections

• The CAN bus is a serial bus with high speed data transfer. The two

connectors for the CAN bus are used for internal module data transfer and synchronization.

• Two independent analog outputs provide signals for integrators or data

handling.

• The REMOTE connector may be used in combination with other analytical

instruments from Agilent Technologies if you want to use features such as start, stop, common shut down, prepare, and so on.

• With the appropriate software, the RS-232C connector may be used to

control the module from a computer through a RS-232C connection. This connector is activated and can be configured with the configuration switch.

• The power input socket accepts a line voltage of 100 – 240 VAC ± 10 % with a

line frequency of 50 or 60 Hz. Maximum power consumption varies by module. There is no voltage selector on your module because the power supply has wide-ranging capability. There are no externally accessible fuses, because automatic electronic fuses are implemented in the power supply.

1 Introduction

Interfaces

Interfaces Overview

CAN

The CAN is inter-module communication interface. It is a 2-wire serial bus system supporting high speed data communication and real-time requirement.

LAN

The modules have either an interface slot for an LAN card (e.g. Agilent G1369A/B LAN Interface) or they have an on-board LAN interface (e.g. detectors G1315C/D DAD and G1365C/D MWD). This interface allows the control of the module/system via a connected PC with the appropriate control software.

NOTE

If an Agilent detector (DAD/MWD/FLD/VWD/RID) is in the system, the LAN should be connected to the DAD/MWD/FLD/VWD/RID (due to higher data load). If no Agilent detector is part of the system, the LAN interface should be installed in the pump or autosampler.

RS-232C (Serial)

The RS-232C connector is used to control the module from a computer through RS-232C connection, using the appropriate software. This connector can be configured with the configuration switch module at the rear of the module. Refer to Communication Settings for RS-232C.

There is no configuration possible on main boards with on-board LAN. These are pre-configured for

• 19200 baud,

• 8 data bit with no parity and

• one start bit and one stop bit are always used (not selectable).

The RS-232C is designed as DCE (data communication equipment) with a 9-pin male SUB-D type connector. The pins are defined as:

APG Remote

The APG Remote connector may be used in combination with other analytical instruments from Agilent Technologies if you want to use features as common shut down, prepare, and so on.

Remote control allows easy connection between single instruments or systems to ensure coordinated analysis with simple coupling requirements.

The subminiature D connector is used. The module provides one remote connector which is inputs/outputs (wired- or technique).

To provide maximum safety within a distributed analysis system, one line is dedicated to SHUT DOWN the system’s critical parts in case any module detects a serious problem. To detect whether all participating modules are switched on or properly powered, one line is defined to summarize the POWER ON state of a ll connec t e d m odules. C o ntrol o f a nalysi s i s maintained by signa l r eadiness READY for next analysis, followed by START of run and optional STOP of run triggered on the respective lines. In addition PREPARE and START REQUEST may be issued. The signal levels are defined as:

• standard TTL levels (0 V is logic true, + 5.0 V is false),

• fan-out is 10,

• input load is 2.2 kOhm against + 5.0 V, and

• output are open collector type, inputs/outputs (wired- or technique).

NOTE

22 Agilent 1260 Infinity DAD and MWD User Manual

All common TTL circuits operate with a 5 V power supply. A TTL signal is defined as "low" or L when between 0 V and 0.8 V and "high" or H when between 2.0 V and 5.0 V (with respect to the ground terminal).

1 Introduction

Setting the 8-bit Configuration Switch

Special Settings

The special settings are required for specific actions (normally in a service case).

NOTE

The tables include both settings for modules – with on-board LAN and without on-board LAN. They are identified as LAN and no LAN.

Boot-Resident

Firmware update procedures may require this mode in case of firmware loading errors (main firmware part).

If you use the following switch settings and power the instrument up again, the instrument firmware stays in the resident mode. It is not operable as a module. It only uses basic functions of the operating system for example, for communication. In this mode the main firmware can be loaded (using update utilities).
