3.2.1.2 Connecting a computer The 905 Titrando requires a USB connection to a computer in order to be able to be controlled by a PC software. Using a 6.2151.000 controller cable, the instrument can be connected directly, either to a USB socket on a computer, to a connected USB hub or to a different Metrohm control device.
3 Follow the instructions of the installation wizard. The "On" LED on the 905 Titrando lights up when the driver installa- tion has been completed and the instrument is ready for operation. If problems should occur during installation, contact your company's IT support team.
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-...

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.
USB hub. CAUTION If you operate the 905 Titrando with the aid of the Touch Control, take care to ensure that the Touch Control is switched off when you set up or disconnect connections between the various instruments. If you use a PC software to control the 905 Titrando, you should exit the program before you set up or disconnect the USB connections.
1 Switch off the Touch Control and/or exit the PC software. 2 With the aid of the 6.2151.020 cable, connect the USB connector of the 905 Titrando (type A) with the USB connector of the hub (type B, see manual for the hub).
– You will need the 6.2148.050 USB/RS-232 adapter to connect a balance. The following table offers an overview of the balances that you can use together with the 905 Titrando and of which cable you will need for con- nection to the RS-232 interface: Balance...
Connect the balance as follows: 1 Plug in the USB plug of the USB/RS-232 adapter at the USB connec- tor of the 905 Titrando. 2 Connect the RS-232 interface of the USB/RS-232 adapter with the RS-232 interface of the balance (see table for cable).
Connect the barcode reader as follows: 1 Insert the USB plug of the barcode reader into one of the USB sock- ets of the 905 Titrando. 2 Switch on the Touch Control. The barcode reader is recognized automatically and entered in the device manager.
3.5.1 Connecting a pH, metal or ion-selective electrode Connect the pH, metal or ion-selective electrode as follows: 1 Plug the electrode plug into the Ind. socket of the 905 Titrando. Figure 12 Connecting a pH, metal or ion-selective electrode ■■■■■■■■...
3.5.2 Connecting a reference electrode Connect the reference electrode as follows: 1 Plug the electrode plug into the Ref. socket of the 905 Titrando. Figure 13 Connecting a reference electrode 3.5.3 Connecting a polarizable electrode Connect the polarizable electrode as follows: 1 Plug the electrode plug into the Pol.
3.5.5 Connecting an iConnect An external 854 iConnect measuring interface can be connected to the 905 Titrando. Connect the iConnect as follows: 1 Plug the iConnect plug into the iConnect socket of the 905 Titrando.
2 Plug in the electrode on the iConnect as illustrated below. Figure 17 Connecting an electrode to the iConnect The guide pin guarantees correct connection in such a way that the contact pins cannot be damaged. 3 Screw the iConnect tightly. ■■■■■■■■ 905 Titrando...
If no reliable measurements are possible with these, then a 6.5104.030 (230 V) or 6.5104.040 (115 V) dif- ferential amplifier can be used. The differential amplifier is connected to the high-ohm measuring input (Ind.). ■■■■■■■■ 905 Titrando...

5.1.2 Maintenance by Metrohm Service Maintenance of the 905 Titrando is best carried out as part of annual ser- vice, which is performed by specialist personnel from Metrohm. A shorter maintenance interval may be necessary if you frequently work with caustic and corrosive chemicals.
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.
