■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 1 Introduction 1 Introduction The 806 Exchange Unit is a versatile buret unit which can be operated with various Metrohm dosing devices or titrators. The 806 Exchange Unit is suitable for simple dosings or titrations. Specifications concerning the exchange unit and the reagent can be stored in the integrated data chip.
Set up the instrument in a well-ventilated location. ■ Keep all sources of flame far from the workplace. ■ Clean up spilled liquids and solids immediately. ■ Follow the safety instructions of the chemical manufacturer. ■ ■■■■■■■■ 806 Exchange Unit...
The correct disposal of your old instrument will help to prevent negative effects on the environment and public health. More details about the disposal of your old instrument can be obtained from your local authorities, from waste disposal companies or from your local dealer. ■■■■■■■■ 806 Exchange Unit...

6.1602.105 / 6.1618.010 3.2.2 Attaching the exchange unit Attach an 806 Exchange Unit as follows: 1 Before attaching the exchange unit, check whether the stopcock can be switched manually by the switching lever. For attaching, the switching lever must be directed to the right (stop- cock in dosing position).

4 Attach the exchange unit from the front onto the control device and push all the way to the rear, so that it snaps in and the LED Status flashes slowly. It must snap in audibly. ■■■■■■■■ 806 Exchange Unit...
The function Preparing or PREP of the control software is used to rinse the cylinder and tubings of the exchange unit and fill them air bubble-free. You should carry out this function before the first determination or once per day. ■■■■■■■■ 806 Exchange Unit...
The backpressure of the dosed liquid is overcome during the dosing pro- cess. The membrane opens up the tubing end. The tubing end is sealed off again automatically after the dosing is completed. CAUTION Do not disassemble the antidiffusion tip. ■■■■■■■■ 806 Exchange Unit...
The thermostat casing may only be used with a thermostat equipped with a pressure and suction pump (the feeding pressure must not be too high). The thermostat casing may only be used in a temperature range from 15...50 °C. ■■■■■■■■ 806 Exchange Unit...
8 Fasten the sealing ring with the screw nipple. 9 Insert the glass cylinder with holder into the thermostat casing and press firmly. 10 Tighten the thermostat casing with the cylinder in the body. 11 Connect the thermostat tubings. ■■■■■■■■ 806 Exchange Unit...
PCTFE/PTFE stopcock. The PCTFE/PTFE stopcock is subject to a certain wearing. This stopcock has to be replaced more often than the ceramic stopcock. We especially recommend the following type of flat stopcocks: ■■■■■■■■ 806 Exchange Unit...

The maximum and minimum filling and dosing rates are: Cylinder volume (mL) max. filling- dosing rate (mL/min) min. filling- dosing rate (µ L/ 10 (depending on device) min) NOTICE Enter lower rates for high-viscosity liquids. ■■■■■■■■ 806 Exchange Unit...
1 Eject the reagent as far as possible without have the cylinder newly filled. 2 Loosen the tubing connection on the reagent bottle. 3 Move the piston to zero position, i.e. carry out 'Filling'. 4 Remove the exchange unit from the drive. ■■■■■■■■ 806 Exchange Unit...
Wipe off the edge of the piston to avoid that the reagent will be in contact with the grease. Wipe off excess grease with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not grease the piston for pipettings. ■■■■■■■■ 806 Exchange Unit...
4 Attach the exchange unit onto the control device. 5 Dose manually until the piston rod of the drive protrudes just out of the body of the exchange unit. 6 Insert the cylinder with light protection from above into the cylinder holder. ■■■■■■■■ 806 Exchange Unit...
4 Eventually clean the stopcock with a suitable solvent (see above) in an ultrasonic bath and let it dry afterwards. 5 When the stopcock can be moved again, it can be inserted back into the exchange unit, see above. ■■■■■■■■ 806 Exchange Unit...
5.2.1 Solutions With the 806 Exchange Unit various solutions can be dosed. The materials of the individual components used have been selected for maximum resistance to chemicals and functionality. It can however not be assumed that all types of aggressive or high-con- centration solutions can be conveyed without difficulty.
Good Laboratory Practice Metrohm Applications Bulletin 283/1 Validation of Metrohm burets ■ The validation of burets is carried out by the Metrohm service with special software. The Metrohm agents worldwide offer the possibility of on-site inspections and certifications of dosing units and Dosinos with respect toaccuracy. It is recommended that an accuracy inspection be performed when the dosing cylinders and dosing pistons of a dosing unit are replaced.
Check the correct placing of the exchange ■ unit. Check the piston and flat stopcock posi- ■ tion. Switch the instrument off and on again. ■ ■■■■■■■■ 806 Exchange Unit...
