1 About these short instructions This short instruction manual contains important information concerning the 917 Coulometer. In addition to an introduction, safety instructions and an overview of the instrument, you will also find information about the installation of the coulometer.
The upper side of the housing offers space for the titration cell. Thanks to its compact construction, you can use the 917 Coulometer in a small space as a stand-alone titrator.
For connecting tubing, for replacing reagent using the built-in pump. 2.1.3 Intended use The 917 Coulometer is designed for usage as a titrator in analytical labora- tories. Its main application field is coulometric Karl Fischer titration. This instrument is suitable for processing chemicals and flammable sam- ples.
WARNING This symbol draws attention to a possible biological hazard. CAUTION This symbol draws attention to possible damage to instruments or instrument parts. NOTE This symbol highlights additional information and tips. ■■■■■■■■ 917 Coulometer...
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. WARNING Never open the housing of the instrument. The instrument could be damaged by this.
Set up the instrument in a well-ventilated location (e.g. fume cup- ■ board). Keep all sources of flame far from the workplace. ■ Clean up spilled liquids and solids immediately. ■ Follow the safety instructions of the chemical manufacturer. ■ ■■■■■■■■ 917 Coulometer...
The correct disposal of your old equipment will help to prevent negative effects on the environment and public health. More details about the disposal of your old equipment can be obtained from your local authorities, from waste disposal companies or from your local dealer. ■■■■■■■■ 917 Coulometer...

Place the instrument in a location of the laboratory which is suitable for operation, free of vibrations, protected from corrosive atmosphere, and contamination by chemicals. The instrument should be protected against excessive temperature fluctu- ations and direct sunlight. ■■■■■■■■ 917 Coulometer...
2 Insert the 6.1464.320 titration cell into the titration vessel holder. 5.2.2 Preparing the titration cell Filling the adsorber tube Before setting up the titration cell, the 6.1403.030 adsorber tube has to be filled with 6.2811.000 molecular sieve. Proceed as follows: ■■■■■■■■ 917 Coulometer...
4 Seal the adsorber tube with the appropriate cover. NOTE Note that the molecular sieve must be replaced at regular intervals. Each time you refill the adsorber tube with molecular sieve, you can, for example, write the date directly on the adsorber tube. ■■■■■■■■ 917 Coulometer...
Make sure that the edges of the ground-joint sleeves are cut to size cleanly and that there are no fringes. The ground-joint sleeves must not protrude at the lower edge of the ground-joint opening. 3 Insert the 6.1403.030 adsorber tube into the generator electrode. ■■■■■■■■ 917 Coulometer...

6 Connect the tubing for the aspiration of the titration cell at the lower connector of the addition and aspiration tube (6). Details regarding how to connect the addition tubing and the aspiration tubing can be found in the tutorial for the 917 Coulometer. ■■■■■■■■ 917 Coulometer...
5.3 Connecting the coulometer to the power supply Connecting the coulometer to the power supply Connecting the power supply unit The 917 Coulometer has an external power supply unit for a 24 V power supply (DC). This is connected to the power socket of the coulometer. WARNING An incorrect supply voltage can damage the instrument.
