    4.4.4 Key lock function The temperature controller settings can be protected against accidental alteration. On the rear panel of the 832 KF Thermoprep the 'Key Lock' tumbler switch 29 can be switched to 'On'. If the key lock function is switched on the 'Temperature' tumbler switch 9 can still be used to select the two set temperatures T1 and T2.
  • Page 21: Working Procedure

    Sample vials contain a considerable amount of atmos- pheric humidity, e.g. Metrohm standard vials with a volume of 6 mL can contain 60…150 µg water. While the determination is being carried out atmospheric moisture can also enter the coulometer cell as a result of leaks, etc.
