12 Operating instrument 13 810 Sample Processor 14 USB RS adapter (6.2148.050) NOTICE It is possible to connect one 810 Sample Processor per operating instru- ment. Updating the device software is described in the manual of the operating instrument. Instrument description The 810 Sample Processor is a versatile instrument.
Remote Boxes. 1.2.2 Intended use The 810 Sample Processor is designed for usage as a sample changer in analytical laboratories. It is not suitable for usage in biochemical, biologi- cal or medical environments in its basic equipment version.
Warning This symbol draws attention to a possible biological hazard. Caution This symbol draws attention to a possible damage of instruments or instrument parts. Note This symbol marks additional information and tips. ■■■■■■■■ 810 Sample Processor...
The electrical safety when working with the instrument is ensured as part of the international standard IEC 61010. WARNING Only personnel qualified by Metrohm are authorized to carry out service work on electronic components. WARNING Never open the housing of the instrument. The instrument could be damaged by this.
Personnel safety WARNING Wear protective goggles and working clothes suitable for laboratory work while operating the 810 Sample Processor. It is also advisable to wear gloves when caustic liquids are used or in situations where glass vessels could break. WARNING Always install the safety shield supplied with the equipment before using the instrument for the first time.
WARNING The 810 Sample Processor is not suitable for utilization in biochemical, biological or medical environments in its basic equipment version. Appropriate protective measures must be implemented in the event that potentially infectious samples or reagents are being processed.

■ Connecting an operating instrument The 810 Sample Processor requires a USB connection to the operating instrument in order for it to be controlled. Using a 6.2151.000 controller cable, the instrument can be connected directly, either to a USB socket on the operating instrument or to a connected USB hub.

In order to connect MSB devices, e.g. stirrers or dosing devices, Metrohm instruments are equipped with up to a maximum of four connectors on what is referred to as the Metrohm Serial Bus (MSB). Various kinds of peripheral devices can be connected in sequence (in series, as a "Daisy Chain") at a single MSB connector (8-pin Mini DIN socket) and con-...
805 Dosimat ■ WARNING If a Dosino is connected to the 810 Sample Processor, then the connec- tion cable must be equipped with a T.2400.102 ferrite core. The ferrite core diminishes any interference voltages and thus ensures compliance with the strict EMC standards in accordance with the applicable techni- cal standards, see EU declaration of conformity of the instrument.

Instruments that are controlled via remote lines and/or that send control signals via remote lines can be connected via the 6.2148.010 Remote Box. In addition to Metrohm, other instrument manufacturers also use similar connectors that make it possible to connect different instruments together.
Connecting USB devices Two USB connectors (type A sockets) are available for connecting instru- ments with an USB interface. The 810 Sample Processor then functions as USB hub (distributor). If you wish to connect more than two USB devices, you can also use an additional, commercially available USB hub.

NOTICE Hold the rack in such a way that the printed Metrohm logo is legi- ble horizontally. 2 Carry out the [Rack reset] or [Initialize rack] function in the man- ual control of the control software.
You can adjust the vertical position of the safety shield at any time by loosening the screws. The optimum vertical position meets the following criteria: The rack can rotate freely. ■ Nobody can access the working area of the lift while the instru- ■ ment is in operation. ■■■■■■■■ 810 Sample Processor...
Maintenance The electronic and mechanical functional groups of Metrohm instruments can and should be checked by specialist personnel from Metrohm as part of a regular preventive maintenance schedule. Please ask your local Metrohm representative regarding the precise terms and conditions involved in concluding a corresponding maintenance agreement.
