(700/800 Dosinos and 685/805 Dosimats), stirrers and titration stands, etc. Figure 1 shows you the flexibility of the Titrando system. On the left a Ti- trando is shown with external dosing devices operated by the Touch Control. To the right of it you can see an automation system consisting of a USB Sample Processor, a Titrando with internal dosing drive and a Dosimat operated by the PC Control software.
1.1 Instrument description Additional information about the Titrando system can be found on the Internet under www.titrando.com. Information about specific applications can be found in our "Applica- tion Bulletins" and "Application Notes"; these can be obtained free of charge from your local Metrohm agency or downloaded from the Internet under www.metrohm.com.

Only qualified Metrohm technicians should carry out service work on electronic components. • Do not open the Titrando housing. This could destroy the Titrando. Inside the housing there are no components that the user can ser- vice or exchange. Electrical safety when handling the Titrando is guaranteed within the framework of the IEC 61010 Standard.
2 Installation This section describes what you should pay attention to when unpack- ing and setting up the Titrando. It also informs you about how a com- plete titration system – from a simple system with stirrer and printer up to a complicated system with additional dosing devices, sample changer and balance –...

The Touch Control with contact-sensitive screen forms a “stand- alone” titrator together with the Titrando. • A computer can be used to control the Titrando by using the PC software PC Control or tiamo. Attention! Make sure that the mains cable has been removed from the power supply socket before setting up or breaking connections between the instruments.
Control. After switch-on automatic system tests are carried out on both the Ti- trando and the Touch Control. The "On" LED on the Titrando lights up when the system test is finished and the instrument is ready for use. Attention!
Connect all peripheral devices (see Section 2.4 and 2.5) before you connect the Titrando to the mains supply. Connect the Titrando to the mains supply. The LED "On" on the Ti- trando will not yet light up! Connect the Titrando to a USB connection (type A) on your com- puter with the 6.2151.000 cable (see the instruction manual for your...
The Titrando will be recognized automatically. When the PC Control or tiamo software is started a system test will be carried out automatically on the Titrando. The LED "On" on the Titrando lights up when the sys- tem test is finished and the instrument is ready for use.
The stand and the stand support are included with the stirrer or titration stand. Fasten the stand support to the base of the Titrando with the four screws supplied. Decide whether you want to attach the stirrer to the right or left of the Titrando.
Fig. 10: Attaching the exchange unit to the Titrando Slide the exchange unit onto the Titrando so that it snaps into posi- tion and the "Status" LED slowly blinks. If the exchange unit has been properly positioned then the exchange unit guide bolts will operate a microswitch and trigger the exchange unit initialization.

Dosing device operating status There is no exchange unit at- tached. constant illumination The Titrando is ready for dosing or titrating. The exchange unit has been attached correctly and recognized and is now in the change position, i. e. the ex- change unit can be removed.
700 Dosino can be connected to Titrandos with an internal dosing drive and four of them to Titrandos without internal dosing drive. MSB 1 is occupied by the built-in dosing drive on the Titrando with internal dosing drive. Connect the dosing drive as shown in Fig. 11 and Fig. 12.
The 685 Dosimat is connected to the Titrando with the 6.2134.030 ca- ble. 685 Dosimat and 700 Dosino types must be connected directly to the MSB socket of the Titrando (see Fig. 8: Overview of MSB connec- tions). If you want to connect a stirrer (see Section 2.4.1) and an exter-...
Connecting a remote box Instruments that are controlled by remote lines or can transmit signals to the Titrando via remote lines can be connected to the Titrando via the 6.2148.010 Remote box. The pin occupancy of the remote socket is described in the Instructions for Use for PC Control / Touch Control.
USB hub (see Section 2.5.7). Attention! If you are operating the Titrando with Touch Control then make sure that the Touch Control is switched off while you are setting up or breaking the connections between the instruments. If you are operat- ing the Titrando with the PC software, end the program before setting up or breaking USB connections.
(COM) of the computer. This is normally 9-pin and marked with the symbol IOIOI. If you are operating the Titrando with the Touch Control then you need the 6.2148.020 USB-RS232 box to connect a balance.
(type B). Connect one of the RS interfaces of the USB-RS232 box with the RS232 interface of the balance (see Table for cables). Fig. 15: Titrando – USB-RS232 box – Balance Switch on the Touch Control. Switch on the balance.
Use the 6.2151.000 cable to connect the USB connection of the first Titrando / Dosing Interface (type A) with the controller socket of the second Titrando / Dosing Interface. Fig. 17: Titrando – Titrando/Dosing Interface Switch on the Touch Control or start the PC Control/tiamo software.
Connecting a PC keyboard (Titrando with Touch Control only) The PC keyboard is used as an aid for entering text and numbers. If you are operating the Titrando with the Touch Control then you can connect a PC keyboard with USB interface to the Titrando. Current keyboard models that can be connected are listed on the Internet under www.titrando.com.
Connecting a USB hub If you would like to connect more than two devices to the USB connec- tion of the Titrando then you can use an additional commercially avail- able USB hub (distributor). If you are operating the Titrando with the Touch Control then you should use a self-powered USB hub.

2 Installation PC Control and tiamo If the Titrando system is operated with the PC Control/tiamo software, a Bluetooth USB adapter can be connected to a USB port of the com- puter (or of the Titrando/USB Sample Processor). The driver software (for MS Windows 2000/XP), supplied by the manufacturer of the Blue- tooth adapter, must be installed as specified in the related instructions.
Page 34
The data transfer parameters of instrument and adapter must agree with each other. The Bluetooth se- rial adapter must be defined as Acceptor and not as Initiator of a serial connection. Authentication with a PIN code is not supported. Titrando Installation Instructions...
