11. Alternately adjust mirrors M4 and M5 to centre the reference beam on both the
reference beam entrance and the reference ports such that the beam is not clipped by the
cente mount sample holder. The reference beam is now aligned.
12. Return to Step 7 of Installation

Error checks and diagnostic scans
The following section describes the procedures for a series of diagnostic scans or error
checking. The scans should be performed as part of the installation procedure and
routinely as part of a preventive maintenance program. The successful performance of the
diagnostic scans validates the operation of the accessory. The accessory optics should be
aligned and the electronics calibrated before proceeding with the diagnostic scans.
Hot Tip
It may be useful to construct a method file for each of these scan procedures. The
scan results should be retained for future use. If problems develop with the
accessory in the future, the diagnostic scans can be repeated with copies sent to
Varian for analysis. All diagnostic scans are set up and executed from the WinUV
Scan application.
In the normal spectrophotometer configuration, the front beam serves as the sample beam
and the rear beam is the reference beam. The DRA units all use the reverse beam
configuration, where the rear beam is the sample beam and the front beam path serves as
the reference beam. When a DRA is installed in the spectrophotometer, beam reversal is
applied automatically during system initialization. Therefore, the Beam mode—Double
checkbox should be selected.
Note
Parameters activated by a radio button that are not specifically mentioned in the
following procedure should be set to ’Off’ (e.g., the Signal-to-noise mode radio
button). These parameters will not affect the procedure.
1. Click the Windows Start button, then Programs, then Cary WinUV, and then Scan.
2. Click the Setup button.
3. From the Setup menu, set the following parameters to carry out the error checking.
