3. To connect port 3 of the divert/inject valve to the ion source, depending on the probe
type, do one of the following:
• For the ESI probe, use two fingertight fittings and two ferrules to connect a length of
red PEEK tubing between port 3 of the divert/inject valve and the grounding union.
To connect the other end of the grounding union to the ESI probe sample inlet,
follow the instructions in the Ion Max and Ion Max-S API Source Hardware Manual.
• For the APCI probe, use two fingertight fittings and two ferrules to connect a length
of red PEEK tubing between port 3 of the divert/inject valve and the APCI probe
sample inlet.
4. To connect the divert /inject valve to a waste container
• Using a fingertight fitting and a ferrule, connect one end of a length of red PEEK
