1 Introduction The 814 USB Sample Processor in the Titrando sys- The 814 USB Sample Processor is a component of the modular Titrando system. Operation is carried out either by a Touch Control with a touch- sensitive screen ("stand-alone titrator") or by a computer with a corre- sponding software.
Metrohm Titrando system. The versatile communications options of the Titrando system (Remote Box, LIMS link, etc.) can thus all be used. Thanks to these abilities, a 814 USB Sample Pro- cessor is predetermined for all kind of automation tasks in a modern labo- ratory, especially for highly integrated laboratory data systems.

1 Introduction 1.2.3 Intended use The 814 USB Sample Processor is designed for usage as an automation system in analytical laboratories or in factories that fulfill the specified ambient conditions (see chapter 7.5, page 43). It is not suitable for usage in biochemical, biological or medical environments in its basic equipment version.
Electrical safety 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. ■■■■■■■■ 814 USB Sample Processor...
Damaged tubing ends lead to leakage. Appropriate tools can be used to loosen connections. Check the connections regularly for leakage. If the instrument is used mainly in unattended operation, then weekly inspections are manda- tory. ■■■■■■■■ 814 USB Sample Processor...
Personnel safety WARNING Wear protective goggles and working clothes suitable for laboratory work while operating the 814 USB Sample Processor. It is also advisable to wear gloves when caustic liquids are used or in situations where glass vessels could break.
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. ■■■■■■■■ 814 USB Sample Processor...

Cable connection and driver installation A driver installation is required in order to ensure that the 814 USB Sample Processor is recognized by the computer software. To accomplish this, you must comply with the procedures specified. The following steps are neces-...
Registering and configuring the instrument in the computer software The instrument must be registered in the configuration of your computer software. Once that has been done, you can then configure it according to your requirements. Proceed as follows: ■■■■■■■■ 814 USB Sample Processor...
(see chapter 3.5, page 20). These are the feed lines for the spray nozzles. 2 Mounting the aspiration tubing Manually tighten the 6.1805.510 FEP aspiration tubing (60 ■ cm) in the M8 bore hole of the distributor. ■■■■■■■■ 814 USB Sample Processor...

■ of the chain links. The tubing can remain connected. Insert the upper hook of the holder in the upper clip. ■ Let the bottom part of the holder snap in the bottom clip. ■ ■■■■■■■■ 814 USB Sample Processor...
Make sure that tubing and cables do not kink. Inserting and removing the tubing and cables requires no tools. 1 Placing tubing and cables Press one side of the clip downwards and place tubing or cables ■ in the guide chain. ■■■■■■■■ 814 USB Sample Processor...
Note the orientation of the titration head. The arrow on the titration head marks the opening for the rod stirrer and has to point to the front, see figure. ■■■■■■■■ 814 USB Sample Processor...
(6.2740.030) into the oblique bore holes of the titration head, see figure. 2 Insert two 6.2709.070 guide sleeves into the titration head, see figure. 3 Insert a 6.1543.200 titration tip (with antidiffusion valve) into a guide sleeve. ■■■■■■■■ 814 USB Sample Processor...
6.2740.020 Figure 10 Connecting the tubings 1 Tighten the 6.1805.420 rinsing tubings which have been fas- tened to the distributor on the rear of the tower to the spray or rinsing nozzles (6.2740.020 or 6.2740.030). ■■■■■■■■ 814 USB Sample Processor...
If an MSB stirrer is connected to the MSB1 or MSB2 socket, then the stirrer connector on tower 1 or tower 2 cannot be used, because the tower stirrers are also internally controlled via MSB1 or MSB2. ■■■■■■■■ 814 USB Sample Processor...
Installing the 741 Stirrer A magnetic stirrer (741 Stirrer) can be used as an alternative to a rod stir- rer. 1 Hang the magnetic stirrer to the assembly rail between the tower and the turntable. ■■■■■■■■ 814 USB Sample Processor...
Tighten the knurled screw at the front end of the plug by hand in ■ clockwise direction. This secures the plug. 2 In case of an 843 Pump Station, connect the other end of the cable (9-pin D-Sub plug) to the socket Remote 1 of the pump. ■■■■■■■■ 814 USB Sample Processor...
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-...
685 Dosimat plus ■ WARNING If a Dosino is connected to the 814 USB 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 com- pliance with the strict EMC standards in accordance with the applicable 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 814 USB Sample Processor then func- tions as USB hub (distributor). If you wish to connect more than two USB devices, you can also use an additional, commercially available USB hub.
Installing the drip pan Install the drip pan as follows: 1 Fasten the enclosed tubing to the drainage nipple on the drip pan and then guide the free end of the tubing into a waste container. ■■■■■■■■ 814 USB Sample Processor...
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.
Mounting the safety shield WARNING It is imperative that the safety shield be installed before the first time the 814 USB Sample Processor is used. The device may not be operated without a safety shield. Figure 24 Mounting the safety shield Proceed as follows.
