4.4). If transport damage has occurred please refer to section 4.3 'Warranty'. Location The 700 Dosino is a robust instrument and can therefore be used under rough conditions in laboratories and factories. However, care must be taken that it is not exposed to a corrosive atmosphere.
Connection to a control instrument: This instrument must only be connected to that connection socket of a Metrohm instrument which is provided for it (see correspond- ing ‘Instructions for Use’). Only those adapter cables listed in the instructions are to be used.
This is the filling port (Dosino Port 2). Make care that the tubing is attached tightly so that no air bubbles can penetrate when the reagent solution is aspirated. Tighten the screw nipple firmly by hand. 700 Dosino, Instructions for Use...

Depending on the application you can now screw the 6.1543.050 Titrating tip with anti-diffusion valve or the 6.1543.060 Dosing tip onto the dosing tubing. The 6.1446.030 Ball stopper supplied can be used to fix the tip in an NS14/15 ground joint opening. 700 Dosino, Instructions for Use...
• If necessary rotate the centering ring by hand until the ribon rib position is ob- tained. Please note! The dosing drive carrier can only be ad- justed when the control instrument to which it is connected is switched off. 700 Dosino, Instructions for Use...
2. Setup Never use force when attaching the dosing drive! • Place the dosing drive (700 Dosino) on the 710 Dosing unit. The green line on the Dosino must coin- cide with the short white marking of the dosing unit; see accompanying diagram.
• Never adjust the carrier of the Dosino or the centering tube of the dosing unit when these have been separated from each other. This could make attaching the dos- ing unit more difficult; please refer to the explanations on the previous page. 700 Dosino, Instructions for Use...

You can now clean or replace the individual components, such as the cylinder or the piston. See chapter 3.3 for cleaning instructions. Please note! It makes no sense to replace the cylinder or the pis- ton separately. Always replace both, if necessary. 700 Dosino, Instructions for Use...
• The dosing piston can be re- moved with the piston pliers in the same way as for a glass cylinder, see section 2.3.2. Leave the black stopcock washer in the cylinder base. 700 Dosino, Instructions for Use...
(for larger diameter cylinders use the middle fin- gers as well) and carefully press the piston into the glass cylinder with uniform pressure. • The upper edge of the sealing lip must be flush with the cylinder rim, see photo. 700 Dosino, Instructions for Use...

Dosino on the top of the dosing unit, see photo. In this recess you will again see two marking ribs. • Rotate the centering tube until these ribs coin- cide. • Refit all tubing and the adsorber tube. 700 Dosino, Instructions for Use...
• The housing can now be attached in the same way as described for the dosing unit with glass cylinder. ⇐ Exception: The 50 mL ETFE cylinder is similar in construction to the glass cylinders and is assembled similarly. 700 Dosino, Instructions for Use...
2.5.2 Double bottle holder (6.2055.100) • The double bottle holder can be adjusted in height. Bottles up to 1 liter can be used. • 2 inserts for sleeves can be used as buret tip or elec- trode holders. 700 Dosino, Instructions for Use...

Always tighten up the screw nipples firmly by hand and take care that you do not damage the tubing ends when doing this. All Metrohm instruments which support Dosinos as dosing drives possess a 'PREP' function. This function is a preparation step in which the cylinder and tubing are automatically filled with liquid.
If a reagent is not to be used for longer than one week then the dosing unit should be emptied by means of the 'EMPTY' function and the dosing drive removed. 700 Dosino, Instructions for Use...
• In order to ensure that the Dosino buret does not leak it must be slightly lubricated. Carefully apply a little 6.2803.000 Grease (silicone-free) with your finger to the outside of the piston and wipe off any excess grease with a soft lint-free cloth. 700 Dosino, Instructions for Use...
Cleaning the stopcock washer and the distributor disk • Use a liquid detergent. Abrasive powders are unsuitable and could scratch the stopcock washer. • Dry the disks with a lint-free soft cloth. 700 Dosino, Instructions for Use...
