2.2 Fluid Connections
There are three points for fluid connections on the fraction col-
lector. Two are on the diverter valve — In and Waste. The third
point is found on the drip tray which you can route to a waste
container.
CAUTION
Risk of fire or explosion. Nonconductive, nonpolar liquids at lin-
ear velocities greater than 40 cm/sec may develop an electro-
static charge. If this applies to your application, use conductive
tubing and ground the fluid path.
Refer to section 2.2.1 for instructions on connecting tubing to the
standard diverter valve. Refer to section 2.2.2 for instructions on
the high flow rate valve connections. Both valves are shown in
Figure 2-1 on page 2-2.
2.2.1 Standard Diverter
Valve Connections
Note
The In and Waste connections use special headless fittings.
The position of the ports prevent the use of standard Upchurch
fittings.
Figure 2-6 shows the standard diverter valve ports.

To connect the fluid lines:
1. Place the unit in Standby by touching the Standby/ON
icon.
2. Remove any installed racks.
3. Loosen the diverter valve thumb screw and lower the
diverter valve to its lowest position (refer to Figure 2-1).
This will expose the ports on the back of the diverter valve.
Tighten the thumb screw to secure the diverter valve.
