 Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Guide
The Troubleshooting guide is intended to give the experienced spectrophotometer repairperson a starting
point to repair a spectrophotometer. It is not intended to be a guide for the average user. The Initialization
Sequence will help isolate problems encountered during instrument startup. The Troubleshooting guide
contains both previously seen problems, and contrived cause-effect problems; e.g., what happens when a
motor is unplugged. The important thing to remember with this instrument is that the sample detector is
used to initialize the entire instrument. This means that anything that keeps light from getting to the
detector, such as a problem filter wheel, or something in the sample compartment will keep the instrument
from initializing properly. The detector or Main board could cause a similar problem if there is something
wrong with the electronics.

Initialization Sequence

Spectronic GENESYS 10 Revision ≤ 1.103, Spectronic BioMate 3 ≤ Revision 1.001 Initialization

1. Power on.

2. Calibrate turret
a. Rotate the turret while reading the turret sensor.
b. After we have detected 3 small openings without finding the big opening, reverse the
turret rotation direction.
c. After we have detected 6 more small openings without finding the big opening, return a
turret calibration failure error.
d. When we find the big opening (indicates position B), center the turret in the opening.

3. Initialize the grating by

a. Moving to the grating calibration switch.
b. On the VIS instrument, move to grating step 8695 (ideally 1095nm).
c. On the UV instrument, move to grating step 5365 (ideally 716nm).

4. Initialize the Filter wheel

a. Rotate the filter wheel while recording energy levels.
b. Look for the large dark area to locate the filter wheel.
c. Rotate to the end of the light area to find the end of the open position.
d. Center the filter wheel in the open position.

5. Find zero order

a. Scan between grating steps 555 and 2035 for the start of zero order saturation.
b. Scan towards grating step 2405 for the end of zero order saturation.
c. Set the initial calibration to the center of the zero order area.

6. Initialize the calibration gains

a. On the VIS instrument
i. Select the DIDYMIUM filter.
ii. Scan from 670nm to 680nm.
b. On the UV instrument
i. Select the OG-590 filter.

 Chapter 4 Routine Maintenance
Your spectrophotometer is durable and reliable, so routine maintenance is minimal. This section includes
complete instructions for:

• Routine care, cleaning and maintenance of the instrument and cells

• Replacing the tungsten lamp

• Changing the fuse and voltage setting

This section also includes a list of replacement parts and accessories.

WARNING
Operating the instrument with the cover off exposes the operator to potentially dangerous
voltages and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Therefore, it is recommended that only authorized
service representatives perform procedures requiring removal of the instrument cover and
replacement of electrical components. To protect both yourself and the instrument, be
sure to contact an authorized service representative to perform any service procedure not
listed in this section.

Routine care
Routine care for your spectrophotometer does not require a lot of time. To help minimize maintenance
time and to increase the life and performance of your instrument, please follow these guidelines:

• To prevent dust from accumulating on and in the instrument, always replace the dust cover when the
instrument is not turned on. The dust cover, supplied with the instrument, is resistant to most aqueous
solutions.

• Do not use or store the instrument in a corrosive environment.

• Gently wipe the outside of the instrument with a soft cloth to remove any dust or spills. Water,
isopropyl alcohol and other common laboratory-cleaning agents may be used if necessary.

• Always clean up spills to prevent or minimize damage to the instrument. If concentrated acids or
bases, or any hydrocarbon materials, are spilled on the instrument, be sure to clean up the affected
area immediately.

• Use water, alcohol or other common laboratory-cleaning agents to clean the keyboard. It is
recommended that you clean spills off the keyboard as soon as they occur.
Cleaning
Cleaning and maintenance of cells

Cleaning of cells both inside and out is important not only because any contaminating material may
absorb light, but also because material within the cell may react chemically with subsequent reagents or
standards introduced into the cell. Cleaning methods depend to some extent on the nature of the
contaminating material. Sodium (or ammonium) hydroxide and dilute hydrochloric acid may be used to
remove some acidic and basic contaminants, respectively. Clorox® (undiluted or 1:1) is very effective in
removing proteinaceous and bacterial contaminants. You may also use Cell Cleaning Solution
(332260-169) to clean your cells.

4-1
Routine Maintenance

WARNING
Handle and dispose of chromic acid with care!

Finally, soaking in chromic acid will remove most contaminants, but the acid should be handled, and
disposed of, with care. Because of the exothermic reaction of the acid and water, any heat generated
should be quickly dissipated to avoid altering the pathlength of the cell. Cells should not be placed in hot
chromic acid.

Note: To prepare chromic acid cleaning solution, slowly add (with stirring) 800mL of
concentrated sulfuric acid to 458mL of distilled water containing 92g of sodium
dichromate (Na2Cr2O7•2H2O). This cleaning solution should be red-brown. Discard, using
proper disposal methods, when green tinge appears.

Cells with scratches in the optical path should be discarded because scratches will cause anomalous
absorbance readings. Cells should be protected during cleaning and never thrown into a bath with
glassware where they might get scratched, or placed in a wire rack that might scratch them. The outside
of the cells may be wiped with a soft, lint-free tissue, and should be kept free of fingerprints.

Micro Flowcells

Micro flowcells can be kept clean by:

• Flushing well with a solvent after use

• Aspirating dilute acid, base, non-filming detergent or Clorox through the cell in short bursts

• Storing with distilled water in the cell

Cleaning the windows of the sample compartment

Follow these guidelines to clean the windows of the sample compartment:

• Do not use acetone to clean the windows of the sample compartment. Instead, use a non-abrasive
laboratory cleaning solution (Cell Cleaning Solution, 332260-169), distilled water or alcohol.

• Use the liquid and a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the windows. Do not apply too much pressure or
the surface of the windows may be damaged. Be sure to remove all fingerprints.

To perform the optical alignment, start with the power off. Remove the main cover, the mono cover, the
spill tray, and the filter wheel. Then turn on the power to the unit. The lamp on the Visible only models will
remain lit.

Flashing the Lamp for Alignment - Preferred Method

Note: This method is not available on older version of the instrument firmware. The best way to
flash xenon lamps to align the optics on older systems is to upgrade them to the current
firmware version. The minimum versions are:
Spectronic GENESYS 10 UV 2.000
Spectronic GENESYS 10 VIS 2.000
Spectronic BioMate 3 2.000
Spectronic GENESYS 10UVscanning 1.100
Spectronic GENESYS 6 1.100
Spectronic GENESY 10 Bio 1.000

1. Connect a computer to the instrument

2. Start Service Diagnostics

3. Click Alignment Tool

Optical Alignment

4. Click Flash Xenon

5. Click OK when alignment is complete

Flashing the Lamp for Alignment - Alternate Method

Instruments boot differently depending on instrument model, version, and if it is calibrated. All that is
required to align the optics is to light the lamp. The lamp is always lit in Visible units.

Spectronic GENESYS 10 UV-Vis and Spectronic BioMate 3 (early versions)

1. Install the ZOGH tool.

2. Press ENTER to flash the lamp for 15-second intervals after power on.

Mirror Adjustments

The four mirrors used in the Spectronic GENESYS 10 spectrophotometer are each unique and must only
be replaced by the same mirror at a specific location. However, all four mirrors mount and adjust in the
same manner. To tell the difference:

1. Mirror A has a Blue dot

2. Mirror B1 has no dot

3. Mirror B2 has no dot and is angled up compared to mirror B1

4. Mirror C has a Red dot

There are two screws (one at each end of the foot), which mount the mirror to the base (refer to
Figure 6.1). There is enough clearance in the mounting hole to provide some rotational movement of the
mirror. This movement is used to adjust the horizontal (rotational) alignment of the mirror.

A third screw is located behind the mirror. It holds down the spring-loaded mounting tab. This screw is
used to adjust the vertical tilt of the mirror.

Figure 6.1 Mirror Adjustments

To install and adjust any of the mirrors:

1. Make sure the proper mirror has been selected for the location and is oriented with the mirrored
surface facing in the correct direction as shown in Figure 6.2. (All mirrors face in toward the center
of the instrument.)

2. Insert the two mounting screws through the foot of the mirror into the base. Snug the mirrors
slightly but do not tighten. The mirror should be able to be rotated in the hole with a slight
resistance. The screws must be loose enough so that the mirror will slide under the screw. Never
force or twist the mount to align it.

3. Rotate the mirror as required until it is properly aligned horizontally.

4. Tighten the two mounting screws.

5. Tighten or loosen the tilt adjustment screw as necessary until the vertical alignment of the mirror is
proper.

Alignment Sequence

The various components of the optical path and their locations are shown in Figure 6.2. In addition to any
replacement components, which may be required, the following procedure requires the use of the
Spectronic GENESYS 10 Service Alignment Tool Kit [335901-400], which includes the following
components:
• 335901-401 Mirror B2 Target
• 335901-408 Dental Mirror
• 335901-403 zero order grating Tool
• 335901-406 Spectronic GENESYS 10 Sample Target
• 335901-407 Spectronic GENESYS 10 Mirror Adjust Tool
• H-152 728 Spacing Tool

WARNING
When in operation, certain internal components, such as the lamp and Power Supply,
become hot. Avoid touching these areas. Failure to observe this warning may result in burns.

WARNING
High voltage is present in the instrument when power is turned on. Be very careful to avoid
any voltage carrying contacts while performing these alignment procedures. Failure to heed
this warning may result in serious personal injury including the potential for severe burns,
heart failure, or death.

WARNING
Never stare directly at the light source or the reflected beam from the light source. Always
wear UV protection in the form of safety glasses or goggles. Failure to heed this warning
could result in potential eye damage.

Remove the Monochromator cover, the Beam Splitter and turret cover, and the filter wheel (refer to
“Disassembly and Replacement").

 Optical Alignment

Align Source Mirror A

1. Hold the dental mirror from the Alignment Tool Kit in the area normally occupied by the filter wheel
behind the entrance slit.

2. Align the source mirror A horizontally and vertically until the beam is centered on the entrance slit
as observed using the dental mirror (refer to “Mirror Adjustments").

Align Monochromator Mirror B1

1. Loosen and remove the two screws securing the limit switch to the base. Move the limit switch to
one side so it will not interfere with the installation of the zero order grating Holder tool.

2. Lock the tool in the ‘open’ position by compressing the spring until the pin can be inserted into the
locking hole in the tool.

3. Position the zero order grating Holder tool so that the pin in the base of the tool can be inserted into
the rear screw hole where the limit switch was installed and the hole in the tool base is located over
the front screw hole. Position the grating arm in the L-shaped arm of the tool. Push the tool to the
right as shown in Figure 6.3 when tightening the screw.

Figure 6.3 grating "Nominal zero order" Alignment

4. Place the Mirror B2 Target over the reflective surface of the B2 mirror.

5. Align the B1 Monochromator mirror horizontally and vertically until the beam is centered on the
Mirror B2 Target (refer to “Mirror Adjustments").

Optical Alignment

NOTE: Check the alignment by loosening the arm in the zero order grating Holder tool
(compress the spring on the zero order grating Holder until the pin can be inserted into
the locking hole, and the tool is locked in the ‘open’ position) and moving the grating arm
to the right. A spectrum will be reflected from the grating onto the entrance slit. Ensure
that this spectrum is centered vertically on the slit. If this requires adjustment of the
mirror, then retighten the zero order grating Holder tool, readjust vertically, and ensure
that the light beam is still centered on the target.

6. Remove the Mirror B2 Target.

Align Monochromator Mirror B2.

1. Place the Mirror B2 Target onto the front of the Mirror C.

2. Align the B2 Monochromator mirror horizontally and vertically until the beam is centered on the Exit
Slit (refer to "Mirror Adjustments") and on the target on Mirror C then remove the target from
Mirror C.

Align Sample Mirror C

1. Orient the Sample Target in position on the Cell Holder Platform so that the rectangular target is
facing the light beam. Secure the Sample Target with its captive screw. Install the Platform with the
Sample Target into the sample compartment.

2. Align the Sample Mirror C horizontally and vertically until the beam is centered on the Sample
Target (refer to "Mirror Adjustments").

3. When the alignment has been completed, remove the Cell Holder Platform. Remove the Sample
Target from the Cell Holder Platform and reinstall the previously installed cell holder onto the
Platform.

4. Compress the spring on the zero order grating holder until the pin can be inserted into the locking
hole, and the tool is locked in the ‘open’ position.

5. Loosen and remove the screw securing the zero order grating Holder tool.

6. Remove the zero order grating Holder tool.

7. Reinstall the Limit Switch, the filter wheel, the Monochromator cover, the Beam Splitter and turret
cover.

Note: After any optical change, alignment, or optical component replacement, the instrument
must be calibrated with the proper standards using the Service Diagnostic. Instructions
are included with the software.

Beam Alignment with Microcell in Sample Compartment

Alignment Procedure:

1. Install single cell holder (335916) into the sample compartment.

2. Use a microcell (331752-000); make sure the cell is perfectly clean.

3. Partially (about ½ height) fill the microcell with deionized water.

4. Gently tap the cell on a padded surface to ensure that there are no bubbles in the light path.

Method (best if performed at zero order)

1. Use Service Diagnostics to continuously pulse the xenon lamp and to access zero order.

2. Place a piece of clean white paper (like the back of a calling card) up against the sample detector
window so that the clean white side faces the single cell holder.

3. Insert the microcell into the single holder.

4. Observe the intensity of light reflecting off the white paper as adjustments of Mirror C are made. Set
for maximum uniform light image intensity on the white paper.

Final Check:

1. Reassemble the unit.

2. Set the wavelength for 260nm.

3. Use a microcell (331752-000); make sure the cell is perfectly clean.

4. Fill the microcell with deionized water.

5. Gently tap the cell on a padded surface to ensure that there are no bubbles in the light path.

6. Insert the cell in the cell holder and zero the instrument.

7. Remove and re-insert the microcell in exactly the same position several times.

8. Confirm zero repeatability (should be within +/- 0.003).

An additional check is to turn the microcell 180 degrees (reverse direction), reinsert the cell and compare
the forward/reverse direction agreeability. There is no specification on this; however, it should have
similar repeatability.

Perform the above ‘Final Check’ at several wavelengths, especially at 260nm and 280nm.

Note: The ‘axial’ position of the square cuvette holder also affects the reading/repeatability. It
may be necessary to loosen the screw that secures the cuvette and turn it to ensure that
the light beam passes straight through the cell windows on BOTH sides of the cuvette
without hitting the inner side wall of the cell’s sample chamber.

 Chapter 9 SERVICE DIAGNOSTICS SOFTWARE
The Service Diagnostic software can be used to both calibrate and troubleshoot the Spectronic
GENESYS 10 Series of spectrophotometers, including the Spectronic GENESYS 10 Vis, Spectronic
GENESYS 10 UV, Spectronic GENESYS 10 UVscanning, Spectronic GENESYS 6, Spectronic BioMate 3
and Spectronic GENESYS 10 Bio models. Calibration requires a didymium filter. The program can be
used to exercise motors independently, check gain settings on the detector(s), as well as calibrate the
instrument. The Spectronic GENESYS 6 model auto-calibrates at power up, so there is no option to
calibrate it here.

The instrument can be reset to default by holding down the ↓ and ENTER keys at the same time on the
instrument key pad while turning on power and then selecting the desired menu option.

Detector board Diagnostic

1. The Sample Energy and Reference Energy readouts display the raw counts from the A/D converter
minus dark current for the respective channel. The capacitor and voltage settings are used to
compensate for different energy levels at different wavelengths, or different amounts of light hitting
the detector(s). They are normally set automatically when the instrument is zeroed, or measure
blank is pressed. The detector circuit uses an integrator circuit. Changing the number for the

9-9
Service Diagnostic Software

Capacitor or Voltage simply selects a different capacitor or resistor value to use in the feedback
loop.

2. Use the Detector board Diagnostic screen to test for proper detector operation. The higher the gain
number, the higher the Energy level should be. The reading will saturate around 6,300,000 counts.
For each capacitor or resistor change there should be a corresponding change in the Sample
Energy or Reference Energy level. If there isn’t a corresponding change, and the reading isn’t
saturated, there is a problem with the Main board, detector, or ribbon cable. A simple way to test
the gain settings is to set the instrument wavelength to a low energy point, like 850nm and try each
gain setting.

3. Can be used when the covers have been removed, but the sample compartment must be covered
with a light-tight covering (black cloth).

4. Displays the energy levels of the Detector board(s).

5. For the UV model, the Sample Energy and the Reference Energy will be roughly equal, after the
instrument is zeroed (see examples on next page).

Figure 9.15 Detector board Diagnostic Window

6. The capacitor and voltage gains are the different resistor and capacitor selections. They are the
feedback components used as part of the integrator circuit used for the detector. A high value
results in a larger gain as shown in the gain tables.

7. In the Vis model, the Reference Energy will be displayed as ‘1’ since there is no Reference
Detector board.

Service Diagnostic Software

Figure 9.18 Vis Typical Energy Level at 546nm

NOTE: In the above, if the sample energy is at maximum (>6000000), then there is no energy
reaching the Detector board. Check the light path for blockage or misalignment. If these
are not a problem, then replace the Detector board.

When the voltage gain is increased by an increment of 1, the gain steps and gain ratios for the Vis
(sample detector) and UV (sample and reference detectors) models should be:

S-399 - Spectronic GENESYS 10 and Spectronic BioMate 3: New Firmware

October 2001
REFERENCE: ECO 71863

PROBLEM: 1. Earlier revision of firmware will not work with new EDT display (335901-
657S).
2. Error in Performance Validation test – Internal Wavelength tolerance (is
±1nm at 883nm, should be ±2nm).

SYMPTOM/ Problem 1 - can cause the display to be blank when the unit is turned on (usually
CAUSE: after powering-down an instrument that has been on beyond the warm-up period).
Problem 2 - can cause the instrument to fail while still within the published
specifications.

SOLUTION: Release of new firmware: 1.103 for Spectronic GENESYS 10; 1.001 for
Spectronic BioMate 3

PRODUCT All Spectronic GENESYS 10 spectrophotometers of Serial Number < ###D260###

AFFECTED: were manufactured with firmware <1.103 rev.
All Spectronic BioMate 3 spectrophotometers of Serial Number < ###D260### were
manufactured with firmware <1.001 rev.

APPLIES TO: Repair at customer site Repair at Depot

The new firmware will work with the new EDT display (see TSB S-391), and has the
correct Internal Wavelength Tolerance of ±2nm at 883nm.

If the unit has the new EDT display which shows the problem above, the unit should
be sent to the Service depot for upgrading since the upgrade will require the
installation of the ROM IC and wavelength recalibration using the appropriate
standards and software.

SYMPTOM/ The ‘flashable’ ROM was not implemented in the production of the Spectronic
CAUSE: GENESYS 10 until December 2000. The firmware in the units made before this
date can only be upgraded by the physical replacement of the ROM.

SOLUTION: ROM Upgrade Kits have been developed to upgrade the pre-December 2000 units
to ‘flashable’ ROMs

PRODUCT All Spectronic GENESYS 10 spectrophotometers with Serial Numbers <

AFFECTED: ###C340### were manufactured with non-flashable ROMs and firmware version
≤ 1.030.
(All Spectronic BioMate 3, Spectronic GENESYS 6 and
Spectronic GENESYS 10UVscanning spectrophotometers have been manufactured
with the ‘flashable’ ROM)

APPLIES TO: Repair at customer site Repair at Depot

There are two part numbers for the Spectronic GENESYS 10 ROM replacement:

335901-735S is the basic ROM replacement kit; it consists of:

• 335901-735 programmed flash EEPROM with the current firmware
• 335901-841 installation sheet (copy appended to this TSB)

335901-740S is the ‘complete’ ROM replacement kit; it consists of:

• 335901-735 programmed flash EEPROM with the current firmware
• 335901-841 installation sheet (copy appended to this TSB)
• 335942-000 RS232 cable
• 335901-741 EPROM Extractor
• 335901-10041 Spectronic GENESYS 10 Service manual CD-ROM, which
includes the diagnostic software, the flash program and the service &
operator manuals
• 333159-000 non-certified didymium filter (for the wavelength calibration)

When upgrading a Spectronic GENESYS 10 spectrophotometer to flash ROM

capability, order the 335901-740S only if you do not already have the didymium filter,
the cable and the Service manual.
If you do have these three items, then the 335901-735S would be the appropriate
part number to order.

Spectronic GENESYS 10 EEPROM replacement (Firmware Rev. 1.030 and earlier)

Caution Do not begin this procedure unless you have a Spectronic GENESYS 10
Service manual (Catalog number 335901-10020) and a certified wavelength
filter.
This upgrade procedure requires the use of a didymium filter (certified or
non-certified) for the wavelength calibration of the instrument and the use
of a traceable wavelength standard for final testing and certification after
calibration. (This may be the same didymium filter used for calibration if a
certified didymium filter was used for the calibration.)
• Thermo Electron Corporation sells wavelength filters:
• Filter Set (catalog number 942318503111) which includes a traceable holmium filter (can be used
only for final testing & certification) and a traceable didymium filter (can be used for both
calibration and certification)
• SPECTRONIC Standards (catalog number 333150) which includes a traceable wavelength filter
(can be used only for final testing & certification)
• Non-certified didymium filter (catalog number 333159) for only the wavelength calibration
• Performing this upgrade will cause any stored tests to be deleted due to improvements in the
software and resultant data structures. Therefore, we recommend printing or otherwise recording your
test setup screens for greater ease in re-programming them.
• Observe proper ESD procedures.
• Use appropriate tools (e.g., PLCC extractor tool).
• A Personal Computer is required to perform this procedure, along with a working RS232 serial port
and interface cable (Part #335942 or equivalent*).
• The Spectronic GENESYS 10 Service Diagnostic software Rev. 1.40 or higher (included in your
service manual, or sold separately as Part # 335901-10005) is also required to perform this upgrade.

Procedure

1. Turn off and disconnect power from the instrument.

2. Turn the instrument upside down, being careful not to scratch the plastic cover.
3. Ensure that proper ESD protection is in place.
4. Remove the four (4) screws that secure the bottom cover to the instrument base

Caution: The bottom cover is wired to the instrument base.

5. Remove the cover gently, so as not to stress the ground wire connection.
6. Using a PLCC ROM extractor tool, remove the ROM (marked with a label). The board is marked
U39 next to the socket. This is the only Integrated Circuit (IC) on the Main Circuit board that is
socketed and can be removed. Do not attempt to remove any other components, including
connectors or jumpers. (See Figure 11.1 Close-up photo of the socket and ROM [on next page].)

7. When installing the new ROM, take care to note the orientation of the notch and the “dot” on the
chip, and line them up with the notch in the socket and the dot printed on the Circuit board (see
Figure 11.1). Note that the label may be in any orientation- do not use the label to determine the
orientation of the IC.
8. After ensuring proper alignment, press the ROM gently into the socket and make certain that it is
fully seated.

Caution: Improper insertion will damage the new ROM and possibly the instrument!

9. After installation is complete, replace and secure the bottom cover and turn the unit right-side-up.
10. Connect Power and turn on the instrument.
11. When prompted, press F1 or F2 (first or second unmarked key from the left [under the display])
for a UV or Visible-only model, respectively.
12. After the unit boots up, connect the instrument to a PC running the Spectronic GENESYS 10
Service Diagnostic application package (19200,N,8,1), and follow the calibration instructions in
the Service manual.

Note: You will need to re-enter the serial number into the instrument using the Service
Diagnostic application.
