E.1 Diverter valve safety advisories
Warning: To avoid electric shock, ensure that the ACQUITY Diverter Valve is
grounded before connecting the ESI probe. The diverter valve is grounded by fitting it to
the mounting bracket on the instrument and plugging in the power supply unit.
Requirements:
• Only use ACQUITY Diverter Valve with the grounded power supply unit supplied with it.
• Do not place the ACQUITY Diverter Valve directly on top of the ACQUITY QDa Detector. You
must attach the valve to the instrument using the supplied mounting bracket.
• Do not remove the mount fitted to the ACQUITY Diverter Valve. It is used for attaching the
valve to the mounting bracket on the QDa.
