A sample rack is a turntable that acts as a receptacle for sample vessels. Various types of sample racks are available for different numbers and types of sample vessels. The 858 Professional Sample Processor requires sample racks with up to a maximum of 42 cm in diameter or smaller.
Operation"), so that the magnet code of the rack can be recognized. Automatic recognition of the rack type is only possible when the rack is rotated into the starting position. Recommended sample racks for the 858 Professional Sample Processor: Qty. Order no.
Even positions outside of the sample rack are reachable when a suitable robotic arm is used. The Swing Head with a robotic arm is already pre-installed on the 858 Pro- fessional Sample Processor. Left-swinging or right-swinging models are available as different types of robotic arms.
The configuration data of a robotic arm can be read on its underside or can be found on an accompanying sheet. Before mounting a robotic arm, the configuration data must be set in the control software. ■■■■■■■■ 858 Professional Sample Processor...
(see figure) and of the axis of rotation (middle point) of the sample rack. Peristaltic pump The peristaltic pump (for the model versions 2.858.0020 and 2.858.0030) can be used as a 1-channel or 2-channel pump. One or two 6.2755.000 tubing cartridges can be mounted.
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 2 Overview of the instrument Injection valve The injection valve (for the model version 2.858.0030) can be used with its connectors 1 to 6 (see figure) for complex sample preparation steps.

(6.2751.110) supplied. A serious risk of injury exists if anyone reaches into the working area of the instrument. CAUTION The 858 Professional Sample Processor may not be operated without a safety shield. Use the accompanying hex screws and the hex key to mount the safety shield according to the following figure.
Figure 22 Mounting the safety shield If a different robotic arm is used, then a different, suitable safety shield can be ordered from Metrohm. 3.10 Connecting the tower stirrer A DIN socket for connecting a rod stirrer (802 Stirrer) or a magnetic stir- rer (741 Stirrer) is located on the rear of the tower.

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-...
MSB connector. The operating unit or the control software enters the connected MSB devices into the system configuration (device manager). MSB connections can be extended with the 6.2151.010 cable. The maxi- mum connection length permitted is 15 m. ■■■■■■■■ 858 Professional Sample Processor...
800 Dosino ■ WARNING If a Dosino is connected to the 858 Professional Sample Processor, then the connection 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 appli- cable technical 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 858 Professional 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.

If the injection valve is blocked, then the channels of the valve can be rinsed with water in the opposite direction. If this is not successful, then the injection valve must be cleaned by a Metrohm service technician. Filter The 6.2821.130 filters (38-2) should be replaced every three months and more frequently with higher backpressure.
This results in two possible positions for the tubing cartridge. If the pump tubing was to show pronounced signs of wear, you can insert it a second time in the other position. Replace the pump tubings periodically, approx. every four weeks if used continuously. ■■■■■■■■ 858 Professional Sample Processor...
