Preparations • Position the transport unit of the fraction collector in the Home position.
•Remove all installed trays from the tray base.
•Position the transport unit of the fraction collector in the Change Parts
position.
•Turn OFF the instrument.
•Remove the rear end of the fraction collector’s waste tubing from the
waste container, unscrew the front end of the fraction collector’s inlet
tubing from the flow cell of the detector.
WARNING
Personal injury
Risk of personal injury caused by the needle arm movement.
➔Keep fingers away from the needle area.

1Locate the diverter valve with the finger tight fittings of the inner tubing kit.
2Unscrew the two finger-tight fittings of the inner tubing kit at the diverter
valve.
CAUTION
Liquid spills or fraction losses
Worn or damaged tubings can cause potential spills or lead to
fraction losses.
➔Explicitly follow the described installation procedures to
maximize the lifetime of inlet / waste tubing assembly and the
valve to needle tubing, and to avoid potential spills or fraction
losses.
➔Regularly inspect the tubings and exchange them if they are
worn out or show visible signs of damage.
NOTE
Connect the tubings as described in order to maximize their lifetime
and operating security.

3Unclip the inlet / waste tubing assembly from the leak adapter.
4Remove the outer tubing kit from the unions.
5Remove the leak adapter from the module housing.
6Remove the unions from the inner tubing kit.

5
7Remove the clip by pushing it down through the module housing.
8Remove the inner tubing kit by pulling it down through the opening in the
module housing.
9Slide in the new inner tubing kit from bottom to top (1.) and let the clip click
into position (2.).
10 Install the unions to the inner tubing kit.

11 Install the leak adapter to the module housing.
12 Connect the outer tubing kit to the unions.
13 Clip the inlet / waste tubing assembly into the leak adapter.
14 A color coded ring on one of the tubings and the valve body indicates, which
tubing belongs to which port.

7
15 Connect the finger-tight fittings of the inner tubing kit to the ports of the
diverter valve. The tubings must run into the ports of the diverter valve in
horizontal, parallel lines.
NOTE
The tubings must not be bent or twisted.
16 Connect the tubing with the label with the arrow (1) to the flow cell of the
detector. Insert the other tubing (2) into the waste container.
17 Re-install the tray(s) in the tray base.
18 Start the instrument.
19 Close the front cover.
