  • Page 13: Safety Considerations

    Installation 2.2 Safety Considerations If failure or malfunctioning occurs during operation of the 726 Titroproces- sor, it is recommended to first search for the cause with the help of the di- agnostic functions. If this is of no help in rectifying the disorder or the cause of the malfunction cannot be identified, the Metrohm Service Department should be consulted.
  • Page 14: Concepts

    3 Concepts 3.1 Determinations and Titrations Unlike other Metrohm instruments, the 726 Titroprocessor offers the ability to include up to five titration or measuring modes in one method. One method defines a determination to be done with one sample. This de- termination may include multiple titrations or measurements.
  • Page 15: Data Storages And Statistics

    The 726 Titroprocessor is shipped with a 128 KB SRAM data card. Any PCMCIA card (< 2 MB capacity) may be used as well. The file system of the 726 allows to store 256 files per storage location (except the working mem- ory).
