  • Page 8: Warning And Safety Information

    Prior to switching the device on it has to be ensured that the operating voltage of the TitroLine KF Titrator matches the mains voltage. The operating voltage is indicated on the specification plate. Nonobservance of this provision may result in damage to the TitroLine KF Titrator or in personal injury or damage to property.
  • Page 9: Setting Up And Commissioning

    First, take TitroLine KF basic device out of the packing. Set up the TitroLine KF Titrator at any flat surface, and connect the mains plug to the mains socket. Prior to plugging in the mains plug it has to be ensured that the operating voltage of the TitroLine KF Titrator matches that of the the mains voltage.

    First you have to wait till the extraction time has Sample titration lapsed. An extraction time of 10 s is the set ex-works. Titration running 0.00 extraction time and other titration parameters can be adjusted individually ( chapter 5.8). Following the extraction time, the actual titration will 0.0 µA start.

    26). So if somebody has connected a weighing-balance to the TitroLine KF Titrator, it makes sense to switch to “Automatic weighing-in”. In this case it takes just a keystroke on the weighing-balance to send the weighed-in quantity directly to the titrator.

    After the addition of the sample into the titration vessel you have to wait for a certain period of time before the TitroLine KF Titrator will start with the addition of the KF reagent. This waiting time is necessary either to dissolve the sample or to extract the water from insoluble sample.

    min. titration duration The minimum titration duration is a suitable parameter to be used for samples with which the water can be extracted only slowly. In the case of such samples it makes sense to add KF reagent in order to have the water react away as early as during the extraction.
  • Page 31: Filling Speed

    Properly speaking, it is not the speed which is set, but rather that time in terms of s which the TitroLine KF Titrator requires for one filling operation. 30 s The value of 30 s is the smallest possible value and at the same time the standard value.

    TitroLine KF Titrator. Any information (data strings) arriving at the interface 2 of the TitroLine KF Titrator will be output at interface 1 to the computer immediately. This means that the computer will in any case receive the information of all burettes. In prac- tice it is possible to connect up to 16 devices to a computer (PC) interface.

If a command is preceded by AB, all the TitroLine KF Titrators will work off the command and report back automatically. This means that one command can fill all burettes. The corresponding command is: 01ABBF<CR LF>.
  • Page 36: Connecting Analytical Balances And Printer

    Since, as a rule, the sample or the standard will be weighed-in in on an analytical weighing-balance, it makes also a sense to connect this balance to the TitroLine KF Titrator. To be able to connect the bal- ance to one of the TitroLine KF Titrators, the balance has to be equipped with an RS-232-C interface, and a suitably configured connection cable has to be available.

    Interruptions of use If the TitroLine KF Titrator is not used for more than one week, the liquids contained in the system should be removed, and the TitroLine K Titrator is to be rinsed with alcohol. If this is omitted the piston may be destroyed, and the TitroLine KF Titrator will become untight.
