• The high-voltage warning label does not appear on all probe assemblies.
• The fitting used for ACQUITY UPC² systems differs from the probe inlet fitting shown
here. See Connecting the probe assembly to a UPC² system (Page 62).
Required materials
• Chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves
To install the probe assembly:
Warning: To avoid personal contamination with biologically hazardous or toxic compounds,
wear clean, chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves when performing this procedure.
Warning: To avoid electric shock, do not insert any item into the probe cap aperture
when the probe cap is fitted to the instrument.
Notice: To avoid damaging the probe assembly, take care when inserting the capillary
into the probe adapter. Do not use force.
Warning: To avoid harmless, static-like electric shock, ensure that the mass
spectrometer is in Standby mode before you touch any of its external surfaces that are
marked with this high-voltage warning symbol.
1. To prepare for installing a probe assembly, press together the probe-adapter-cap release
buttons, in the direction shown by the arrows in the following figure, and lift the probe
adapter cap off the probe adapter.

2. Carefully insert the probe assembly capillary into the probe adapter.
Tip: To aid insertion, turn the capillary gently as you insert it, feeding the entire capillary
into the probe adapter.
