If anyone has one available I would much appreciate a Thermo Separation Products (TSP) UV2000 manual. I have lost my paper copy in a move.

Thanks up front

There is another manual somewhere ("User Guide"), but I can't find the link on their website. I have a paper copy, but I also can't find the PDF I printed it from. I just bought one these detectors used. It's a lot less noisy than the previous type of detector I was using. I was VERY disappointed to discover that when using the dual wavelength mode, you're limited to *EITHER* UV or visible, not both simultaneously. IE, you can do 210nm and 280nm, or 566 and 650, but not 280 and 566. This is not clearly explained in the manuals or brochures for this product. The people I bought it from outright lied and told me that it could do what I needed to do. Fisher tech support seemed frustrated that I couldn't figure out how to make the detector do this, and insisted that it could. After almost a day of tinkering, and being told over and over by Fisher that this was possible, the tech support rep finally said "Well, I guess it's not possible. To be honest I've never actually worked with that detector". Otherwise it works fine for me, I just hooked up another UV detector in series to handle the UV when I'm doing dual wavelength runs.

Thank you for posting this. It is not the easiest thing to find! Luckily for me I run only UV and have never came across your particular issue. When I do get it hooked back up I will see if I can duplicate your ...err lack of success
