Locate the leak sensor that triggered the alarm according to the CH-A configuration.
• For a standard, stack-mounted CH-A configuration with leak detection, the leak sensor
is located behind the sample manager door, in the upper drip tray.

the MS-bracket drip tray, mounted beneath the column-heater housing.
