Page 7: Introduction
Optrode to be used for titration like other sensors. Intended use The Optrode is designed for use with a titrator in analytical laboratories. It is intended solely as an optical sensor for photometric titrations. This sensor can be used in chemicals and flammable solvents. Usage of the Optrode therefore requires the user to have basic knowledge and experience in handling toxic and caustic substances. -

Particularly when automation is used, you have to account for the cable movement. During the titration, it is important that the solution is well mixed. The stir- ring rate should be high enough to form a small vortex.

Page 16: Operation And Maintenance
4 Operation and maintenance Setting the wavelength The Optrode has eight LEDs (LED = light-emitting diode) on its optical cir- cuit board that serve as light sources. Each LED emits light in a different wavelength range. The LEDs are labeled with their primary wavelength on the optical circuit board. -
Page 17: Figure 10 Switching The Led
Switching between LEDs via tiamo The Optrode is recognized automatically by the control software tiamo (version 2.5 and higher). However, this only works if the Optrode is con- nected directly to the titrator or control instrument via USB. The wavelength is changed as follows in tiamo: 1 Double-click on the command in the method run. -
Page 18: Sensor Care
The wavelength remains set even if the Optrode is switched off or the power supply is interrupted (USB connection). Sensor care The Optrode does not require any special care. Store the sensor dry in the storage vessel provided. If it becomes dirty, the Optrode's glass shaft can be cleaned with warm water and a small amount of detergent or ethanol. -
