Functional Description
The Surveyor UV/Vis Plus Detector is a full-featured, time-programmable,
variable-wavelength UV/Vis (ultraviolet / visible) absorbance detector. It operates in either the
single or dual wavelength mode in the UV or visible ranges.
The UV/Vis detector is a bench top unit for inclusion into the Surveyor LC System. It is
controlled remotely over an Ethernet communications link from a PC using ChromQuest
software.
The UV/Vis detector consists of a dual light source, an optical bench (see Figure 2), dual
photodiode detectors, and several printed circuit boards (PCBs).
Figure 2. The Surveyor UV/Vis Plus Detector optical bench
To provide a complete spectrum of ultraviolet and visible light, the detector uses a deuterium
lamp for the UV range (190-365 nm) and a tungsten lamp for the visible range
(366-800 nm). The lamps are protected by a cover with a special safety interlock to reduce the
possibility of human exposure to harmful UV light. A computer-controlled shutter selects
which lamp is used for sample analysis. The light from the selected lamp goes to a holographic
grating that disperses the light into a spectrum. The grating can be turned to select which
portion of the spectrum and which wavelength of light is used. The alignment of the grating
is controlled by a stepper motor for precise wavelength control. Absorbance linearity is
increased by a system of baffles that reduces stray light in the optical bench.

1 Introduction
LightPipe Flowcell
Thermo Scientific Surveyor UV/Vis Plus Detector Hardware Manual 3
From the grating, the light travels to a fiber optic beamsplitter, where a portion of the light is
redirected to a reference photodiode. The signal from the reference photodiode is used to
compensate for changes in lamp intensity and helps to maintain consistent performance as the
lamp performance varies. From the beamsplitter, most of the light passes through a lens and
then on through the flow cell and onto the sample photodiode. The light falling on the
sample photodiode is then processed by the analog PC board and converted into data that can
be analyzed by the computer.
The available flow cell options include:
Standard analytical flow cell with a 10 mm pathlength
LightPipe flow cell with a 50 mm pathlength
Other flow cells can also be used in the detector. See Tabl e 3.
LEDs on the front of the module keep the user informed of power, communications, run, and
lamp status.
LightPipe Flowcell
The Surveyor UV/Vis Plus Detector can be ordered with a 50 mm LightPipe flowcell.
The internal bore of the LightPipe flowcell is 50 mm long and has a volume of 10 μL. The
5 cm optical pathlength produces a signal five times that of a conventional 1 cm flowcell,
while the low internal volume of 10 μL minimizes band broadening. A special low refractive
index coating of the internal bore ensures a high optical throughput and minimizes
short-term noise.
Mobile phase enters the LightPipe flowcell through a port in the bottom of the flowcell and
exits through a port in the top of the flowcell. See Figure 3. Directing the flow from the
bottom to the top of the flowcell reduces the development of air bubbles.

Sensitive optical fibers are exposed at both ends of the flowcell as shown in Figure 4. Thermo
Fisher Scientific ships the LightPipe flowcell with end caps to protect these optical fibers. See
Figure 5. Leave these protective end caps in place until you install the LightPipe flowcell.
Replace the protective end caps for storage if you remove the LightPipe flowcell from the
detector.

Installation Checklist
The following installation checklist is a brief summary of the steps that you need to complete
for the proper installation of your Surveyor UV/Vis Plus Detector:
Unpacking and Inspecting Instrument
Carefully remove the detector from the shipping container and inspect both the detector and
the packaging for any signs of damage. If you find any damage, save the shipping materials
and immediately contact the shipping company.
The shipping container should contain the following items:
Surveyor UV/Vis Plus Detector
Accessory kit
Detectors ordered with a standard 10 mm flow cell arrive with the flow cell installed in the
detector. Detectors ordered with the 50 mm LightPipe are shipped with the LightPipe
packaged in the accessory kit.
The accessory kit (P/N 60053-62004) contains the items listed in Tab le 1. Carefully check to
make sure you have received all the items listed on the packing list. If any items are missing,
contact your Thermo Fisher Scientific representative immediately.
UUnpack and inspect your instrument (page 8).
URead the safety notices in the preface of this manual.
UMake the initial instrument preparations (page 8).
UCheck the power settings and fuses (page 10).
UMake the initial rear panel connections (page 11)
UConnect and install the flow cell (page 15)
UPower on the detector for the first time (page 16)
