Introduction
In contrast to the Quick Guide, this Reference Handbook provides a complete description of the operating principles of the DL50, DL53, DL55 and DL58 Titrators. Its layout has been kept modular to ensure future supplementation or replacement of individual sections or pages; new texts carry the date of issue in the footer on every page. Safety notes Measures for your personal protection and for operational safety are described in Section 2 of the Quick Guide. We strongly advise you to read these. The symbols listed there also appear for texts in this Reference Handbook which require safety measures. Keywords used appears before all texts which refer to an error in the measured value acquiNOTICE sition, data storage etc. Note appears before all texts which contain additional explanations.
Index The index in Section 13 comprises key words from the Quick Guide and the Reference Handbook. Software version The Reference Handbook applies to software version 2.x for all four titrators. Note: All information concerning automation in this titrator's Reference Handbook relates to the earlier METTLER TOLEDO Sample changer ST20A. Its name continues to appear in some places. Operation of other METTLER TOLEDO sample changers via your titrator is described in the corresonding Operating Instructions.
The following pages provide an overview of the menus and commands which are available under the menu and auxiliary function keys.

Setup
In order to perform titrations, the titrator must be acquainted with the titrants and their concentrations and the sensors with a feasible unit of measurement. It must know the burette drive on which the burette is located and the input to which the sensor is connected. It must also be familiar with the settings of the attached devices such as a balance or printer in order to transfer data. In this menu you define all these chemical and mechanical resources and store them: you set up your titrator. When you press the Setup key, the list of resources appears: Titrants Sensors Temperature sensors Polarized sensors Auxiliary values Titration stands Peripherals Solvents (only with ST20A) The titrants and METTLER TOLEDO sensors in most frequent use are already stored in the titrator. You can not only delete these resources and modify their parameters, but also define new ones. Note: All information concerning automation in this titrator's Reference Handbook relates to the earlier METTLER TOLEDO Sample changer ST20A. Its name continues to appear in some places. Operation of other METTLER TOLEDO sample changers via your titrator is described in the corresonding Operating Instructions.
NOTICE
All resources needed for the METTLER methods are stored! If you delete one of these, the titrator will wait until the start of a titration of the method before displaying the error message that the resource is not installed.
Print Depending on your choice of resource, its list with the corresponding parameters will be printed out. Modify The list of the selected resources appears.

Sensors
Zero point
The zero point is the measured value at which the sensor indicates 0 mV voltage (measuring chain zero point). For the zero point of a pH electrode this is pH0 with the unit pH. For the zero point of an ion selective electrode this is pM0 with the unit pM, or pX0 with the unit pX. The zero point of the phototrode is normally 0%T (100% T = 1000 mV). The zero point of a conductivity cell is normally 0 S/cm or 0 mS/cm. The slope of the sensor is the voltage change in mV per measurement unit. For the slope of a pH electrode this is the unit: mV/pH. For the slope of an ion selective electrode this is the unit: mV/pM or mV/pX. The slope of a phototrode is normally 10 mV/%T. For the slope of a conductivity cell this is the unit: mV/S*cm-1 or mV/mS*cm-1. Change the temperature if necessary: The current calibration temperature is either entered by you at the start of a calibration method (see Section 5.1) or measured automatically if you have attached and defined a temperature sensor (see Section 3.3.2). You can neither enter the date nor delete it. It refers to the calibration of the sensor using the method function Calibration and is entered here automatically together with the time (see Calibration function, Section 3.3.13).

Notes 1. When the titrator is delivered, the defined calibration data are theoretical values of a new sensor. You must perform a calibration of your sensor if you wish to determine accurate values (see Calibration function, Section 3.3.13). 2. With a calibration of pH, pM or pX sensors, the calibration data (zero point, slope, temperature) are entered here automatically together with the date. 3.

Methods
The titrator performs analyses automatically with the aid of predefined methods. When the titrator is delivered, the Method menu already holds standard methods and methods developed by METTLER. You can modify these methods to suit your requirements and save them as User methods. A complete titration method comprises sample preparation, dispensing of auxiliary solutions, stirring and wait times, the actual titration, result calculation and a report. These sub-steps are defined as Functions in the titrator and they are executed in succession in an analysis. The individual functions comprise Parameters, whose values or names you can modify. You modify a method by changing the parameters of the preset functions.

Under Method ID you can call up a method stored with an identification number; these are the user and METTLER methods. Standard methods are methods we have entered in the factory without a method identification. User methods are the methods you have defined and saved (they are stored in the user data memory). METTLER methods are applications we have developed and stored for you. Print Method ID: The recalled method is printed out with its functions and parameters. Method groups: The list of methods of the selected group is printed out.

If you select this group, the list of 21 methods entered in the factory appears with titles (see Section 5.2 of the Quick Guide). The standard methods are used as basic methods for the development of your own methods and can not be called up to perform an analysis as they have no method identification. As soon as you allocate an identification to a standard method, it is automatically stored as a user method with a method ID when saved and can be called up by you for the analysis. The parameters of the other functions are defined with default values or names for all methods; you can accept or modify these (see Sections 3.2 and 3.3).

You can enter only one molar mass and one equivalent number for the calculation. If your sample contains several substances which have to be determined by equivalence points in the titration, you must enter their molar mass and equivalent number in constant C under the Calculation function (see Section 3.3.12). Select the titration stand at which you wish to determine the sample from the selection menu: "Stand 1", "Stand 2", "ST20A", "Auto stand" or "External stand" (see Section 2.6). Press <F4> to select the sensor if you have attached one; if not, select "Manual": the temperature entered before starting the method will then be adopted in the processing of the method (see Section 5.1). This parameter is used for the automatic measurement or adoption of the temperature of the sample solution before the start of the Measure, EQP/EP/Learn titration and pH/mV-stat functions. Thus the slope of the pH electrode is temperature-corrected and incorporated in the calculation of the pH value (see Section 2.3: Temperature sensors).

t(max) is the latest time for measured value acquisition. If you have selected one of the conditions for t(min), the titrator starts the next function only when the measured potential E is greater or less than the set value and the drift condition is met, but at the latest after t(max).
Notes 1. If you have selected a temperature sensor under the Sample function, the temperature of the sample solution is measured automatically before the titrator executes this function. If you have not attached a sensor (parameter "Manual"), the titrator adopts the temperature entered at the start of the method. The slope of the pH electrode is temperature-corrected by this measured or entered value and incorporated in the calculation of the pH value. 2. The Measure, Dispense, EQP/EP/EQP (Ipol/Upol)/EP (Ipol/Upol)/EP/Learn titration and pH/mV-stat functions generate Raw results (see Section 8.1: List of symbols).

Measure mode
You select the equilibrium controlled or timed increment measured value acquisition: Measure mode Equilibrium controlled Timed increment Esc Info Modify METHOD
These parameters are used to define the wait time up to measured value acquisition following an incremental addition. In the equilibrium controlled measure mode, the wait time is variable, in the timed increment it is constant. You can not decide the optimum measure mode for your method until you know the reaction time of the components and the response time of the sensor used. General information is available under <F3>: Select the equilibrium controlled measure mode for, e.g. acid/base titrations in aqueous media, argentometric, complexometric, surfactant and redox titrations. the timed increment mode for acid/base titrations in nonaqueous media. Equilibrium controlled E [mV] t [s] t(min) [s] t(max) [s] 0.5 1.0 3.0 30.0
Before the titrator adds the next increment, an equilibrium must be established in the solution; the measured value must stabilize. The following are responsible for the equilibrium the potential change E measured in the solution within the defined time t. The wait time up to the next increment addition also depends on the definition of the minimum time t(min) and the maximum time t(max) As soon as the potential change of the solution is less than the defined equilibrium (E/t), the titrator acquires the measured value and adds the next increment. This can be at t(min) at the earliest and should be at t(max) at the latest. At t(max) the measured value is in any case acquired, even if the equilibrium condition is not yet met.

Recognition
Recognition of the equivalence point of a titration curve depends on the type of reaction of the components and hence on the evaluation procedure (see Section 3.3.6.7): 1. With the evaluation procedures Maximum and Minimum, an equivalence point is recognized when the greatest (smallest) potential value of the titration curve is greater (less) than two preceding and two subsequent values. 2. With the evaluation procedures Standard and Asymmetric, an equivalence point is recognized when the maximum of the absolute values of the 1st derivative of the titration curve is greater than two preceding and two subsequent values. 3. With the evaluation procedure Segmented, an equivalence point is recognized when the maximum of the absolute values of the 2nd derivative of the titration curve is greater than two preceding and two subsequent values. Note: For the first recognition of a possible equivalence point, the titrator needs a certain number of measured points. The number depends on the evaluation procedure. Measured points of a predispensing are not taken into account! Evaluation procedure Minimum/Maximum Standard Asymmetric Segmented First possible EQP at 4th measured point 4th measured point 4th measured point 5th measured point Required number of measured points 6 6 10 8

Threshold
To ensure that minor disturbances in the curve profile are not recognized as equivalence points, you must determine a threshold value: +/-E, E/V or 2E/V2. This must be exceeded. Notes 1. The threshold value should be maximum half as large as the expected maximum value of the first or second derivative at the equivalence point. 2. The threshold value depends on so many factors (solvent, concentration, sensor, type of reaction, etc.) that you can not define the "correct" threshold value until you have performed the first titration. Info You can obtain general information on threshold values in the standard evaluation if you press <F3>: For steep, normal and flat titration curves, ranges of threshold values are given for the first derivative in "pH/mL" and "mV/mL". With the other evaluation procedures, you can enter one of the following values for the first titration: Evaluation procedure Minimum/Maximum Asymmetric Segmented mV 0 10 10 pH/pM/pX 0 0.2 0.2 %T 0 1 1
Using the corresponding titration curve or the table of measured values (there is no table for the 2nd derivative), you can read off the potential value, the values for E/V or the values for 2E/V2 and then enter the threshold value.

If an evaluation is not possible with the asymmetric procedure, the equivalence point is calculated by the standard procedure or by interpolation (see Section 8.3.4). In both cases, the evaluation procedure will be documented for each sample in the raw results report if it differs from the defined procedure.

If you are not sure what parameters you should enter for the titration function, select the standard method Learn titration and define the parameters for the titrant and sensor under the Learn titration function. Note: The titrator always titrates the entire volume of the burette used. You thus have to select weight/volume of your sample in accordance with the burette volume.

Confirm the one you want with OK. The defined measurement unit is entered automatically. If you select the unit from the selection menu, you should select mV or the unit defined in the Setup menu. Otherwise you will receive an error message when the method is started.
When you start the method, the titrator executes one function after another. As soon as it has completed the Learn titration function, it calculates the parameters from the response behavior of the sensor, the shape of the titration curve and with consideration of the burette volume. It stores these as an EQP titration function and sends the data to the printer. While the data are being printed, the titrator executes the remaining functions: The "Learn titration" has given rise to an equivalence point titration!

If the titrator finds more than one equivalence point, it calculates the parameters for the one with the steepest jump. If the titrator does not find any equivalence points, it interrupts the method and an error message appears (see Section 5.2.2). The titrator first recognizes a possible equivalence point when this lies at the sixth measured point (see Section 3.3.6.5). As an EQP titration emerges immediately from the Learn titration function, you can titrate a series of samples with the same content. If you have selected "Statistics" under the Calculation function, the result of the first sample will then be discarded!

To select the voltametric or amperometric indication, press <F4>: Indication Voltametric Amperometric Esc Voltametric Modify METHOD
The potential difference between two metal electrodes is measured by polarizing them with a constant current (in the case of the DM142 electrode, the two pins of the platinum electrode are polarized). Press <F4> to enter the current Ipol. Its value depends among other things on: the electrode itself (e.g. distance between the platinum pins in the case of the DM142 electrode) the dissolved substance to be determined and its concentration the solvent the reaction with the titrant. You can obtain an initial starting point for the current intensity to be selected by measuring the corresponding solutions with different current intensities (see Section 6.1.4) and recording the voltage value. This should lie within the measurement range 1500 mV for both the initial and the equivalence point potential (see Section 12.1: Technical Data).

Change
You dispense a specified volume [mL] which you can enter when you press <F4>. Instead of a number, you can enter a formula. You can also enter a wait time: After the predispensing, the titrator waits for this time to elapse before it adds the titrant in a controlled manner. You dispense to a specified volume that is calculated from the product of the sample weight or volume and a factor; you can enter this factor when you press <F4>. You can also enter a wait time (see Volume). You do not wish to predispense.

In predispensing to volumes or (sample size x factor), the titrator adds the titrant in three steps (4/7, 2/7, 1/7 of the defined volume).

Measure mode
You select the equilibrium controlled or timed increment measured value acquisition: Measure mode Equilibrium controlled Timed increment Esc Modify METHOD
These parameters are used to define the wait time up to measured value acquisition following an incremental addition. In the equilibrium controlled measure mode, the wait time is variable, in the timed increment it is constant. You can not decide the optimum measure mode for your method until you know the reaction time of the components and the response time of the sensor used. Equilibrium controlled E [mV, A] t [s] t(min) [s] t(max) [s] 0.5 1.0 3.0 30.0
Before the titrator adds the next increment, an equilibrium must be established in the solution; the measured value must stabilize. The following are responsible for the equilibrium the potential change E measured in the solution within the defined time t. The wait time up to the next increment addition also depends on the definition of the minimum time t(min) and the maximum time t(max) As soon as the potential change of the solution is less than the defined equilibrium (E/t), the titrator acquires the measured value and adds the next increment. This can be at t(min) at the earliest and should be at t(max) at the latest. At t(max) the measured value is in any case acquired, even if the equilibrium condition is not yet met (see diagram in Section 3.3.6.4). This measure mode results in fast increment addition in the flat part of the titration curve and slow addition in the steep part.

For both measure modes, the titrator acquires the potential, the time and the titrant volume. You can print out these measured values after the titration of a sample (see Section 3.3.16: Report).
3.3.9.6
Recognition
Recognition of the equivalence point of a titration curve depends on the type of reaction of the components and hence on the evaluation procedure (see Section 3.3.9.8): 1. With the evaluation procedures Maximum and Minimum, an equivalence point is recognized when the greatest (smallest) potential value of the titration curve is greater (less) than two preceding and two subsequent values. 2. With the evaluation procedures Standard and Asymmetric an equivalence point is recognized when the maximum of the absolute values of the 1st derivative of the titration curve is greater than two preceding and two subsequent values. 3. With the evaluation procedure Segmented, an equivalence point is recognized when the maximum of the absolute values of the 2nd derivative of the titration curve is greater than two preceding and two subsequent values. Note: For the first recognition of a possible equivalence point, the titrator needs a certain number of measured points (see Section 3.3.6.5). You must or can support the equivalence point recognition using four parameters: Threshold Steepest jump only Range Tendency 10.0 No No None
3-50
08/2004
Method
Threshold
To ensure that minor disturbances in the curve profile are not recognized as equivalence points, you must determine a threshold value: +/-E, E/V oder 2E/V2. This must be exceeded. Notes 1. The threshold value should be maximum half as large as the expected maximum value of the first or second derivative at the equivalence point. 2. The threshold value depends on so many factors (solvent, concentration, sensor, type of reaction, etc.) that you can not define the "correct" threshold value until you have performed the first titration. 3. You will find examples of the threshold value for the different evaluation procedures in Section 3.3.6.5.
You can also select this parameter for recognition of the equivalence point (press <F4>): The titrator then recognizes only the steepest jump of the titration curve. You can also define a potential range for recognition of the equivalence point. Equivalence points which lie outside this range are not recognized. Press <F4>, select "Yes" in the mask that appears and then press <F4> again: Range Limit A [mV, A] Limit B [mV, A] Esc 100 200 OK METHOD
Range
Instead of a number, you can also enter a potential stored as an auxiliary value or a formula. The equivalence point range always refers to the titration curve, in other words it is independent of the evaluation procedure. Tendency As a further aid in recognition of the equivalence point, you can define the tendency, namely in what part of the titration curve descending or ascending the equivalence point should be located (see diagram on page 3-32). Use <F4> to select the tendency: "None", "Positive" or "Negative".

Termination
You can define how a titration should be terminated by selection of five different parameters. The titrator can terminate the titration either when the first of the selected conditions is met, or when all the selected conditions are met. An exception is the maximum volume: when this is reached, the titration is immediately terminated! at maximum volume [mL] at potential at slope after number EQPs comb. termination conditions 10.0 No No No No
Maximum volume You must enter the maximum volume. It is intended as a safety precaution: if the titration is faulty, an excessive amount of titrant is not dispensed unnecessarily as the titration is always terminated.

Instead of a number, you can also enter a potential stored as an auxiliary value or a formula. Slope The titrator terminates the titration when the slope of the titration curve is less than a certain value. The measured slope must exceed this absolute value once and drop below it twice to terminate the titration. Press <F4>, select "Yes" and press <F4> again: Enter the slope [mV/mL] or [A/mL] in the mask that appears.

Procedure
Notes 1. In an evaluation with the standard procedure is not possible, the equivalence point is calculated by interpolation (see Section 8.3.1). If an evaluation is not possible with the asymmetric procedure, the equivalence point is calculated by the standard procedure or by interpolation (see Section 8.3.4). In both cases, the evaluation procedure will be documented for each sample in the "raw results" report if it differs from the defined procedure. If you have to work according to GLP guidelines, you should therefore always record the raw results (see Section 3.3.16). 2. If you determine the same sample with a voltametric and amperometric EQP titration, in many cases you must change not only the parameters of the indication, measured value acquisition and recognition, but also the evaluation procedure. An example is the vitamin C determination in a multivitamin drink with DPI [0.01mol/L]:

In the selection of potentials, the titrator evaluates not only the equivalence points, but also the titrant consumption in mmol or mL required for attainment of these potential values (see Section 8.1: List of symbols). Press <F4>, select "Yes" and press <F4> again: Enter the first potential [mV, A] in the mask that appears. Instead of a number, you can also enter a potential stored as an auxiliary value or a formula (see Section 2.5: Auxiliary values). If you wish to have a second potential evaluated, proceed as described for potential 1. Notes for Potential 1/2 1. If you have selected potential 1 and/or 2, the titrator does not test all termination conditions except maximum volume until the potentials are reached (see Section 3.3.9.7). 2. When you select the two potentials, you also define the tendency (from P1 to P2) and the order: If the titrator finds P2 first, it will no longer search for P1.

The titrator dispenses the titrant slowly at the start then at the maximum rate until the defined control band. Within the control range, the dispensing rate decreases exponentially. In the vicinity of the end point, the titrator adds the increment V(min) (see diagram in Section 3.3.7.3); the smallest increment that the titrator can dispense is 1/5 000 of the burette volume. For V(min) you can enter a formula instead of a number. The titrator measures the initial potential ET1 after 1 - 3 seconds and for the table of measured values it acquires a measured value every 5 seconds. The titrator can store maximum 300 measured values. If this limit is exceeded, it reduces the number of measured values by half by leaving only every second measured value in the memory. The new measured values continue to be acquired every 5 seconds. Note: The control band determines the control and the speed of the end point titration. To enter a "reasonable" value, you should perform an equivalence point titration with timedincrement measured value acquisition. Using the table of measured values of this titration, you can determine both the end point potential and the control band exactly.

Titrant/Sensor Pretitration End point Tendency Termination Storage interval Evaluation The titrator determines the following raw results (see also 8.1: List of symbols): the titrant consumption in mL or mmol up to termination of the pH-stating. the titrant consumption in mL or mmol up to attainment of defined time limits. the mean titrant consumption in mL/min or mmol/min within the defined time limits. the correlation coefficient CSTAT, which results from calculation of the mean titrant consumption through linear regression. Notes 1. If you have selected a temperature sensor under the Sample function, the temperature of the sample solution is measured automatically before the titrator executes this function. If you have not attached a sensor (parameter "Manual"), the titrator adopts the temperature entered at the start of the method. The slope of the pH electrode is temperature-corrected by this measured or entered value and incorporated in the calculation of the pH value. 2.

Enter the number of decimal places you require in the result. Press <F4> to select the unit from the selection menu. You can enter the name with an attached keyboard. Use <F4> to select whether a statistical calculation should be performed. "Yes": in the analysis of a sample series the mean value x, the standard deviation s and the relative standard deviation srel are calculated and recorded.
Notes 1. Some standard methods include three Calculation functions. If you need only one result, delete the formula "Rn = ..." with CE. This skips the function when the method is processed. 2. For the calculation of a titration curve with 3 equivalence points (acidic mixture of 3 substances), you must define the parameters of the three Calculation functions.

Another example is the METTLER method 90001: In addition to the NaOH consumption in mL as a result, the acid content of HCl in mol/L and in g/L are calculated. 3. R and C are indexed according to the preset sequence. If you delete, e.g. the formula "R2 =...", 3 remains as the index for the third calculation if you do not change it yourself (see Section 8.2: Use of indices).

4. You must enter the molar mass M and the equivalent number z of the 2nd and 3rd Calculation function as numeric values or insert as Hj if you have stored them as auxiliary values (see Section 2.5): M and z are defined in the Sample function for the calculation of the first equivalence point (see Section 3.3.2). 5. If you do not know the number of equivalence points, you can have Q recognized by a condition instead of defining indices for Q (see "List of formulas"). Example: R = Q (200 < EPOT < 300) means that the Q used for the calculation is that whose equivalence point potential lies between 200 and 300 mV. If the titrator detects more than one equivalence point in this range, it calculates the first (see also Section 8.4.3). 6. The titrator checks your entries when you quit the parameter mask with OK. If you have entered wrong formulas or constants, you immediately receive an appropriate error message, e.g. Error No. 3 Wrong formula Modify Terminate METHOD
OK Modify: You can change the entry. Terminate: The entry last stored reappears. If you have used raw results (e.g. R = QDISP) which the titrator can not determine as the method does not include the Dispense function, you do not receive an error message until the method is stored. 7. The titrator stores results until you start a new sample series or switch off the titrator (see also Section 8.5.6). 8. If you abort the method with Reset, an evaluation of the data obtained to date follows. If you were to abort the titration sequence (see point 2), e.g. shortly before the second equivalence point, you would receive result R1 but not R2 and R3 (see Section 5.2.4). 9. Under the auxiliary function Results, you can perform additional calculations after the titration of a sample (see Section 6.5.3) eliminate results (outliers) on completion of a sample series and thus modify the statistical evaluation (see Section 6.5.5).

Calibration
3.3.13
Calibration
You can use this function to calibrate an electrode: its zero point and its slope are calculated. You determine the buffers which you use for calibration of the sensor. The potential of the buffer solutions is acquired using the Measure function (see example in the Quick Guide). Notes 1. As the slope of an electrode depends on the temperature, it is important to incorporate the temperature in the calibration. Before the Measure function, the temperature of the buffer solution is measured automatically if you have attached a temperature sensor; otherwise, the temperature you entered before the start of the calibration is used (see Sample function, Sections 3.3.2 and 5.1). If you later measure the pH value of a solution at a different temperature, the slope of the sensor is temperature-corrected by the titrator. 2. The calibration data (zero point, slope and calibration temperature) are entered automatically with the date in the parameter mask of the sensor (see Section 2.2.2). 3. Depending on the number of buffer solutions measured, the titrator performs the following calibration: With one buffer solution, it calculates the zero point of the sensor. The slope remains unchanged. With several buffer samples, it calculates the zero point and the slope of the sensor by means of a linear regression through the measured points. You can modify the following parameters: Sensor DG111 Buffer type pH (DIN/NIST) Result R 1 Minimum slope [mV/unit] -55.0 Maximum slope [mV/unit] -65.0 Sensor Press <F4> to open the list containing the sensors you have defined in the Setup menu (see Section 2.2). Confirm the one you want with OK. Press <F4> and select the type in the mask that appears: pH (DIN/NIST), pH (MERCK), pH (METTLER TOLEDO) or pH, pM, pX.

The titrator has 8 values each for DIN/NIST, MERCK Titrisol and METTLER TOLEDO buffer solutions stored which you can select to calibrate pH electrodes. Under "pH, pM, pX (free selection)" enter values of userselected buffer solutions to calibrate pH or ion-selective electrodes (see Note 2). Example illustrating selection of pH values of a MERCK buffer. Press <F4> to display the selection menu: pH (MERCK Titrisol) First buffer Second buffer Third buffer Esc pH 4 pH 4 pH 4 Modify OK METHOD

Select a different buffer value from this list, e.g. pH 3 and confirm with OK. In the "pH (MERCK Titrisol)" mask select the 2nd buffer and again press <F4> to select its pH value, e.g. pH 7 etc. Notes 1. The buffer values apply to a temperature of 25 C for DIN/NIST buffers 20 C for MERCK Titrisol buffers 25 C for METTLER TOLEDO buffers. If you calibrate at a different temperature, these buffer values are automatically temperature-corrected and recorded on the printout. If you calibrate at a temperature that lies outside the defined range for the corresponding buffer, "Temperature outside limits" appears in the report; however, the calibration data will be recorded.

2. For the pH, pM, pX buffer values you can also enter formulas. 3. Positive ions result in a negative slope, negative ions in a positive slope.
Result R
"1" (result index): The measured values E of the buffer solutions used are stored under the first Calculation function: R1 = E (see Section 8.2: Use of indices). The titrator calculates the zero point and the slope of the electrode by linear regression by assigning the measured values to the standard concentrations of the buffer solutions. The index must thus be the same as under the Calculation function. Enter the minimum and maximum slope; the slope of an electrode is a measure of its quality. If you obtain a slope, e.g. with the pH buffer types in a pH calibration which lies outside the limits you have defined, the calibration data are not entered for the corresponding sensor. The error message "Data not transferred" appears on the report.

Auxiliary value
Auxiliary value is an assignment function. The result (R or Ri) or its calculated mean value (x or x [k]) or a raw result of the titration function is assigned to the auxiliary value Hj and entered automatically with the date in the parameter mask of the auxiliary value (see Section 2.5 and Section 8.2: Use of indices). 20 auxiliary value memories are available: H1 - H20. You can store, e.g. the following as auxiliary values: the blank value of a titration (example of the standard method: "Blank by EQP titration") a raw result that you obtain under the EQP or EP titration function, e.g. "H6 = VEQ". You can call up these auxiliary values in the Calculation function. Auxiliary value ID Formula Esc ID Formula Enter an identification if desired. Enter "H = R" or "Hj = Ri" if you determine the auxiliary value with a single sample. Enter "H = x " or "Hj = x [k]" only if you determine the auxiliary value with more than one sample so that the calculated mean value is assigned to the auxiliary value. The Statistics calculation must be selected in the Calculation function for this. You can also enter, e.g. "H (Hj) = VEND * 1.5" as a formula. Symbol If "Formula" is selected, you can open the list of symbols with <F3> (see also Section 8.1). Select the symbol from this list which should be assigned to the auxiliary value, e.g. for the formula "H6 = VEQ": - Position the cursor on "2", - replace "20" by "6", - position the cursor on "R" and delete "R1", - select "VEQ" from the symbol list.

You use this function to determine what data should be recorded. Note: If your method contains two Titration functions, e.g. standard method "2 Step titrations (EQP)", a Report function also follows the first Titration function so that you can record, e.g. the table of measured values and titration curve of the first function. The reason for this is that the titrator stores only the measured values of the last Titration function. The titrator stores the raw results of all functions up to the determination of the next sample within a series (see Section 8.5.6). Report Output Printer Results All results Esc Output METHOD

Printer is stored as the default parameter (for the printer you have defined, see Section 2.7.1). If you have not defined a printer and/or computer, the function can not be executed. This case neither initiates an error message nor does it influence the titration. If you have defined and switched on a printer, but this is set to "offline", the titrator waits until you switch the printer to "online" and then starts to transfer its data. If you have defined and attached a computer, but have not switched it on, an appropriate error message appears.

This menu is used for the entry and storage of sample data. You can enter weight or volume, identification, correction factor and temperature for maximum 60 samples. The data remain stored even if you switch off the titrator; data of analyzed samples, on the other hand, are deleted. The menu is always accessible during the analysis to allow the user to see which samples have already been titrated to modify or delete data of samples not yet analyzed to enter data for additional samples. The performance of the four titrators differs in this menu as follows:

In order to determine a titer before the sample analysis, you can confirm the message with Esc. 2. When the sample data mask or that of the "Current sample" appears, the sample is active in the sample data memory. The titrator executes the Sample function of the method and starts to acquire the time for every determination as the raw result TIME (see Section 5.2: Example of an analysis sequence and Section 8.1: List of symbols).

If you can not enter the weight or volume until during the titration as, e.g. you do not wish to lose time through back weighing, do not enter anything. As the titrator does not need the sample size until it performs calculations, the sample data mask appears again in the display during the titration: either when the titrator reaches the EQP/EP titration function under which a predispensing to (factor x sample size) has been defined or when it reaches the Calculation function under which the sample size m is needed for the result. You can also enter weight/volume in the Sample menu (see Section 5.2: Example of a pH-stating). If you violate the upper or lower limits of the weight/volume but still confirm the entry, an appropriate message appears (see Section 4.1). You can not change the limits. This information does not appear if you have defined a fixed volume in the Sample function. You can enter a value for each sample which is reconciled in the calculations if you insert f in the formula of the Calculation function (see Section 4.1). Enter that of the solution to be titrated.

In the case of an interrupted sample determination, the modifications apply only to the functions which the titrator has not yet started to execute. Exceptions are the Stir, EQP/EP titration, EQP/EP titration (Ipol/Upol) and pH/mV-stat functions. 1st example: Stir function If you interrupt the method at this function, you can modify not only the stirring and wait times, but also the rotational speed. On continuation of the determination, the titrator adds the difference between the defined and modified times to the stirring time remaining: the entire stirring time corresponds to the modified time and stirs at the modified speed.

On continuation of the method, the titrator executes the modified parameters of the EQP titration. 4th example: pH/mV-stat function If you interrupt the method at this function, you can modify, e.g. the value for the control band, the volume for the minimum consumption or the time for the defined termination criteria. On continuation of the method, the titrator executes the modified parameters of the pH-stat function.

You can store three sample series in the sample data memory of the DL55/DL58. These are processed in this menu by the titrator in sequence with your help. An attached sample changer automates this procedure. You can check the ongoing method in the Sample menu (see Section 4). As soon as the next sample series is started, all data of the executed series are deleted. At the end of the processed sample series, only the data of the last series remain stored. They are deleted as soon as you start the determination of a new sample or series. With all titration stands, the sample data mask appears only if you have not entered the weight (volume) for the samples before the start of the method. If you work with titration stand 1, 2 or an external stand, you must confirm the mask "Current sample" for every sample. If you have attached a sample changer, the titrator titrates the samples of all measurement methods without the need for your intervention. A requirement is that you have entered all sample data you have excluded the mask "Defined are" from the analysis sequence (see Section 6.7.3) the methods use the same resources or their setup data are defined at the other drive (titrants), at a different sensor option (sensors) or at the other ST20A output (solvents) (see comparison of the titration sequences on the following page). If you work with the auto stand, the mask "Current sample" does not appear, in other words each sample determination is started without confirmation. As a result, you can attach a robot to handle sample changing. The same prerequisites hold for the automatic running of sample series as for the use of the sample changer. Note: All information concerning automation in this titrator's Reference Handbook relates to the earlier METTLER TOLEDO Sample changer ST20A. Its name continues to appear in some places. Operation of other METTLER TOLEDO sample changers via your titrator is described in the corresonding Operating Instructions.

The titrator checks at the start whether the signal of the selected input is in Section 6.7.5). With this voltage of 0 V the titrator controls the pump (normal output signal) so that it starts to pump liquid from the supply vessel into the container with the level sensor. As soon as this container holds more than 500 mL, the pump is switched off automatically. Inverted: The pump can be controlled only with the 5 V signal instead of the normal output signal of 0 V. When the pump is switched off, the voltage is 0 V. Sequential You can use this special mode to control, e.g. a dispenser.

8.2
Use of indices
As some functions can occur a number of times within a method and parameters can also appear a number of times within a function, indices are needed in addition to the parameter symbol (see Section 8.2.1: Compilation of the symbols by indexing forms). The titrator recognizes 4 different indexing forms: 1. Parameters without index These parameters include, e.g. c, t, M, ZERO, SLOPE, TIME. The parameters always refer to the current titrant, the current sensor or the current sample determination. The parameters of the functions which occur only once within the standard methods also do not need an index, e.g. E of the Measure function or VSTAT of the pH/mV-stat function. 2. Parameters of the form Xi Parameters which use an index without brackets are all those whose link with the method function is meaningless. This indexing form includes R, C and H. Example: R3: third result (see fourth indexing form) Note: R = R1 holds, in other words if the index = 1 it may be omitted. This also applies to the indexing forms under points 3 and 4. 3. Parameters of the form X [j] Index j is the function counter. This indexing form includes, e.g. VDISP, QEX and x. Example: QDISP[2]: Measured value of the second Dispense function (extract from standard method "2 Step titration (EQP)") After confirmation of the "Current sample", the titrator dispenses and determines the raw result QDISP of the first Dispense function. The titrator executes the Stir function, then

4. Parameters of the form Xi [j] Index i is the number of times a parameter should be run within a function. Index j is the counter for the number of functions within a method. This indexing form includes Q, VEQ, EHNV and EPOT. Example: Q2[2]: mmol consumption up to the second equivalence point of the second EQP titration function. Extract from the standard method "2 Step titration (EQP)", which has been adapted for the determination of HCl, CH3COOH and NH4Cl with NaOH. (The 2 titration functions were selected as other values have been defined for the equilibrium controlled measured value acquisition in the determination of CH3COOH and NH4Cl.)

Evaluation procedures
8.3
Evaluation procedures
The titrator has various evaluation procedures for precise determination of the equivalence points of a titration curve: Standard Minimum/maximum Segmented Asymmetric 8.3.1 Standard
You use this procedure for all S-shaped titration curves. The evaluation uses an iterative procedure (nonlinear regression) [1]. The titration of a strong acid with a strong base is used as a mathematical model. With this model, the determined equivalence point always lies in the vicinity of the inflection point.
E
Inflection point
At least five measured points around the the inflection point are used for the evaluation. The slope from measured point to measured point must increase or decrease. If this condition is not met, the iterative procedure can not be employed. In such a case, the inflection point of the titration curve is determined by interpolation. A reference to this effect appears in the report of the "raw results".
V
8.3.2
Minimum/maximum
The result of this evaluation is the calculated minimum (maximum) from the measured points of the titration. The classical example of a titration curve with a minimum is the determination of surfactants with photometric indication. The minimum (maximum) is calculated by a polynomial approximation of the titration curve in the region of the minimum (maximum). The equivalence point is recognized directly using the data of the titration curve.
8-14
08/2004
Evaluation procedures
8.3.3
Segmented
Different indication methods (e.g. photometry, conductometry and amperometry) generate titration curves with linear or approximately linear segments (segmented curves). The titrator also evaluates these curves. The evaluation procedure used is based on the following consideration:
E Titrierkurve Titration curve
The first derivative of a segmented curve has the typical shape of an Sshaped curve, its inflection point represents a good approximation of the equivalence point.
V E/V
Segmented curves are evaluated with the Standard procedure, which uses the calculated data of the first derivative instead of the data points of the titration curve. The equivalence point recognition is thus effected not with the calculated first derivative but with the calculated second derivative. The threshold for the equivalence point recognition also refers to data of the second derivative. The individual segments do not need to be exactly linear. Decisive for an accurate determination of the equivalence point is the presence of a clear kink between the individual segments of the titration curves.
08/2004
8-15
Evaluation procedures
8.3.4
Asymmetric
With pronounced asymmetric curves, the standard procedure can lead to a systematic error. The difference between the true equivalence point and the inflection point can then be greater than the precision normally attained. For these cases, the titrator is equipped with the evaluation based on the Tubbs method [2]. This empirical approximation method is a tried and tested procedure for the evaluation of asymmetric, analog recorded titration curves. It can also be applied to titration curves measured digitally. The result of the Tubbs evaluation provides a better approximation of the true equivalence point than the inflection point. The evaluation procedure is based on the following considerations:
E
M2
A circle of curvature with minimum radius can be drawn on both branches of the titration curve. The ratio of the two radii is determined by the asymmetry of the curve. The mean intersection point of the line connecting the centers of the circles M1 and M2 with the titration curve represents the sought-after equivalence point. Theoretical calculations show that the true equivalence point with asymmetric titration curves always lies between the inflection point and that branch of the titration curve which has the greater curvature (the smaller radius of curvature).
In the titrator the calculation is implemented according to Ebel [3]. This involves approximating those parts of the titration curve which lie in the region of the greatest curvature by a hyperbola. The vertex is determined for each approximated hyperbola. This point on the hyperbola lies at the site of greatest curvature. The mid-points of the assigned smallest radii of curvature are the focal points of the two hyperbolae. As in the graphical variant, the intersection point of the line connecting the two focal points with the titration curve results in the required equivalence point. For the evaluation at least six measured points both before and after the inflection point of the titration curve are required in the region of the greatest curvature. If the titration curve has a profile which does not allow calculation of the radii of curvature, the titrator calculates the equivalence point by the standard procedure. This will be indicated in the report of the "raw results".

To calculate the titrant consumption in mmol of a particular equivalence point when a titration curve has several equivalence points, you can have Q identified by a condition, e.g. R1 = Q(EPOT > -50) Titrant consumption up to the equivalence point of the 1st EQP titration function whose potential is above -50 mV. Here, the equivalence point which first meets this condition is determined. Equivalence points whose potential lies between, e.g. -51 and -300 mV are not considered. Titrant consumption up to the equivalence point of the 2nd EQP titration function whose potential lies above -50 mV. Titrant consumption up to the equivalence point of the 2nd EQP titration function whose potential is nearest to 100 mV. Titrant consumption up to the equivalence point of the 1st EQP titration whose potential is nearest to potential P1. Titrant consumption up to the equivalence point of the 1st EQP titration function whose value is nearest to the value stored under auxiliary value H11. Titrant consumption up to the equivalence point of the 1st EQP titration lying within the range of potential P1 and 300 mV. The equivalence point which first meets this condition is determined.
Note: You can also define these conditions with VEQ or EPOT, e.g. R 1= EPOT(VEQ ~ 5).

Per sample determination, the titrator can determine maximum 16 equivalence points (EQP titration), divided between one or two EQP titration functions. If there are more than 16 equivalence points, these will not be determined, but the determination will be continued.
8.5.4
The titrator can store 300 measured values per titration function (EQP, EP, Learn, EQP (Ipol/ Upol), Two-phase); it then aborts the function. With the titration functions EP (Ipol/Upol) and pH/mV-stat, the number of measured points will be reduced automatically (see Sections 3.3.10 and 3.3.11).

You yourself can rectify all errors which the titrator displays as messages. Some of these messages refer to this section (errors 1...6). However, if the EPROM or RAM test following startup of the titrator failed ("test failed"), the only measure available is: "Press any key to continue". The program memory or the program data memory is faulty. After any key has been pressed, the titrator attempts to continue the startup process: This may be successful, but does not necessarily guarantee 100% perfect operation. Measure: Please contact METTLER TOLEDO service! 1. Internal ERROR: ... (error which should be noted down, e.g. PB, M1) Parts of the hardware may be faulty. Measure: Before you contact METTLER TOLEDO service, note the fault and the operation which initiated it, note the instrument number of the titrator (rear panel) print out the system information, which provides details of the titrator equipment: Press the shift and <F4> keys to print out the information. Finally, inform the service of these points and the attached peripherals with the defined configuration. 2. Memory faulty Parts of the user data memory are faulty. Measure: Call METTLER TOLEDO service to have the memory changed. Meanwhile, you can still continue working with the titrator. 3. Faulty data deleted a. The titrator has stored only parts of a method, e.g. as the power failed during storage of this method. It deletes the entire method (it is also possible that it has deleted several methods). As a result, the sample data of this method which are stored in the sample data memory will also be deleted. Measure: Confirm the message. Check which of your methods have been deleted and reenter.

b. The titrator has stored only parts of parameters of a resource, e.g. as the power failed during storage of these parameters. It deletes the entire list of this resource (e.g. all titrants or all sensors). Measure: Confirm the message. The titrator now loads the default list of the deleted resource, e.g. all titrants stored in the titrator in the factory. Check which list has been changed: If the user data memory has insufficient storage space, only the titrants which can be accommodated in the available space will be stored. If the memory is full, the titrator will not store any titrants. In such a case, you must delete data of other resources or one of your methods to create memory space. Switch the titrator off then on again. Check that all resources are again available. If the error messages appears repeatedly, inform METTLER TOLEDO service!
4. Storage not possible a. The titrator can not assign the titer, the auxiliary value or the calibration data to the corresponding resources as the list is missing (titrant, sensors or auxiliary values). Measure: Confirm the message. Check whether the list of the resource has been deleted. Switch the titrator off then on again: The titrator will then reload the default list of the corresponding resource, e.g. all the titrants which were stored in the titrator in the factory. If the user data memory has insufficient storage space, only the titrants which can fit in the available space will be stored. If the memory is full, the titrator will not store any titrants. In such a case, you must delete other resources or one of your methods to create storage space. Switch the titrator off then on again. Check that all resources are again available. b. The titrator can no longer store, e.g. data as the user data memory is full. This is possible with resources which you wish to add in the Setup menu in the case of a method you generate in the Method menu with sample data you wish to enter in the Sample menu on storage of a changed, active method on storage of the evaluation parameters of the titration functions EQP, EQP (Ipol, Upol) and Two-phase of an active method (parameter: "Stop for reevaluation").

Measure: Confirm the message. Delete methods or resource data or copy to a memory card. 4 c. The titrator performs a learn titration. If the method for this is stored on the memory card or in the computer, the parameters of the function are not stored. Measure: Confirm the message. Always perform a learn titration with a method stored in the titrator and do not remote-control the titrator! If the error message appears repeatedly, contact METTLER TOLEDO service! 5. Error: Memory card a. An error appears during copying. Measure: Confirm the message. Check that the card is inserted properly and restart the copying process. If the process is aborted again, reformat the memory card and attempt to repeat the copying process (the data on the card will be deleted). If the process is again aborted, use a new memory card. b. An error appears when a memory copy is loaded. Measure: Confirm the message. Check that the card is inserted properly and restart the copying process. If the process is again aborted, switch the titrator off then on again. Use a new memory card. 6. Measuring inputs not adjusted (refers only to a pH option on which the calibration data are not stored, see Section 6.7.2). The calibration data for the characteristic line of the measuring inputs are missing. Measure: Enter the data from the data sheet enclosed with the pH option (see Section 6.7.2). When the measuring inputs are adjusted, this message appears if system data have been deleted in the user data memory. Measure: Switch titrator off then on again: the system data will be reloaded. Reenter zero point and slope for all measuring inputs.

Position 2
Unscrew the burette guide at position 2. Pull out the ribbon cable that is located in the titrator below this second opening.
Note Please place the burette drive on the second opening. DL50/DL53 The burette drive is defined as the middle position by the software (drive 2), in other words you can not control a drive installed at position 1. DL55/DL58 For the first titration, which you perform in accordance with the instructions in the Quick Guide, the 2nd burette drive is defined.
Plug the coupling of the ribbon cable in the connector of the burette drive.
Coupling Ribbon cable Connector
Position the burette drive on the second opening of the titrator from the first opening press the ribbon cable downward at an angle (ensure it is not pinched!) and fasten with the screw. Screw the burette guide to the first opening.

10.2.1
The 5, 10 and 20 mL burettes differ only in the size of their cylinder, centering ring and piston, whereas the 1 mL burette has a different construction: its piston is longer, piston guide and cylinder holder ''replace'' the centering ring of the other burettes. Instead of the locking screw, its glass cylinder is fastened with an O-ring and a knurled nut.

Lay gasket on bottle and screw on burette holder. Insert stopper (or a drying tube with holder). Caution: If you use a stopper as protection for the titrant, always use the stopper with flat side! Otherwise a partial vacuum forms in the bottle (order no. 23646). Push suction tubing into the bottle, slide the red PVC tubing over the fitting as kink protection, and fasten other end to left connection of burette head. Screw dispensing tubing into connection at right and place burette tip in tip holder.

Inserting the burette Slide the burette onto burette drive 2 with the stop of arrestment knob (1) located on left side. Check that piston rod (2) is correctly positioned in push rod (3). Fix burette by turning the arrestment knob to the right.
3 1
Note Before sliding the burette onto the titrator, check the exact position of the stopcock and the piston rod. If the piston has been pushed too far into the cylinder, carefully take it out a short way. Then press the burette onto the burette holder thus positioning the piston exactly. Piston must project 7 mm!

10.2.4
Depending on the titrant, you should clean the burette cylinder, piston, stopcock and tubing relatively often. Slide the burette off the titrator, invert it so that the stopcock points towards you and carefully take out the piston; this causes the burette contents to flow out through the suction tubing (waste or titrant bottle!). In the same position, turn the stopcock through 90 clockwise and any liquid in the stopcock will flow out through the dispensing tubing (waste bottle!). Unscrew the suction, dispensing and connection tubing. 1 mL burette Unscrew the knurled screw of the burette and remove the O-ring from the glass cylinder using tweezers. Unscrew the holder of the glass cylinder and take out the cylinder. Caution: Do not misplace O-ring! 5, 10, or 20 mL burette Unscrew the locking screw of the burette and take out the glass cylinder. Caution: Do not misplace the centering ring of the burette housing!
Press the cam of the stopcock inward and lift the stopcock up and out.
Cam
Depending on the contamination caused by the titrant, rinse cylinder and tubing with acids or deionized H2O then with ethanol and finally dry the parts with oil-free compressed air or vacuum. Rinse the stopcock with solvents or deionized H2O only! Then dry it with oil-free compressed air. Never place O-rings in organic solvents! Never attempt to remove any crystals in the cylinder by scratching with a hard object! Pipe cleaners or Q tips are more suitable. Never put the parts in a drying oven whose temperature is above 40 C! Replace the piston if it leaks or is badly scored at the edge. Pay special attention to crystal formation between the lip seals of the piston if you work with NaOH/KOH and KF solutions!

Interchangeable burette
10.2.5
General information
You can remove air bubbles at the piston surface by taking the burette out of the guide and lightly tapping its base. This causes air bubbles to rise to the top. Then rinse the burette. You can remove air bubbles in the tubes by tapping the tubes with your fingers while titrant is being siphoned off or dispensed. If this does not help, undo the suction tube so that titrant flows back into the bottle, screw it on again and rinse the burette (air purging). In obstinate cases undo both tubes, rinse with deionized H2O and ethanol and dry using oil-free compressed air or vacuum. Titrants such as KMnO4 or KOH in MeOH can easily crystallize in the tip of the burette and block it. If you have no immediate use for a titrant, it is best to empty and clean the dispensing tube: Unscrew connection to let the titrant flow out. Check the threaded connection and wipe off any drops. KF titrants are subject to outgassing, above all at elevated room temperatures (SO2), which leads to the formation of air bubbles in the tubes and in the burette (stopcock). You should thus rinse these burettes before titrations!

The diagram shows a possible occupancy of all slots. The basic version of the titrator has the following installed a pH option at slot No. 1 an Centronics option at slot No. 4. pH and KF options You can install a sensor option in any slot. Each option has a number which is also affixed to the data sheet enclosed with each sensor option (see Section 10.5.1). DL53/55/58: You can use the inputs and outputs of maximum four sensor options, e.g. two pH options at slot No. 1 and 2, two KF options at slot No. 3 and 4. DL50: You can use the inputs and outputs of maximum one sensor option. Centronics option You can use the Centronics option only if it is installed in slot No. 4. The TTL inputs and outputs of the socket can be used only for the commands preallocated by the titration software (see Section 10.7).

08/2004
Installing options
RS options You can install an RS option either in slot No. 3 or slot No. 4. Although the options are identical, the functions of the connections are not! Slot No. 3: You can freely control the TTL inputs and outputs of the socket. To the upper RS interface you can attach only a sample changer, to the lower only a computer or a terminal. Slot No. 4: You can use the TTL inputs and outputs of the socket only for the commands stipulated by the titration software (see Section 10.7). To the upper RS interface you can attach only a balance, to the lower only a printer.
10.5
Unscrew the cover plate of the slot. Insert the option in the two guide rails, push in option and fasten with the two screws. Notes 1. When you have installed a pH option that has not stored the calibration data you should enter the calibration data for the characteristic line of the measuring inputs (see Section 10.5.1). calibrate the electrodes/temperature sensors at the new inputs (see Sections 2.2 and 6.1.3).
Soldering scheme
2. To attach temperature sensors of other companies, you can use a Lemo cable plug (4-pin) and solder on the appropriate cable (see Section 11.2: Accessories).

Memory card
10.5.1
When the titrator is delivered, the measuring inputs are calibrated for a sensor and temperature sensor (Pt100 and Pt1000) of the pH option. The data sheet filed in Section 14 documents the data for the characteristic line of the measuring inputs of this pH option. If the data are not stored on the actual option, you must reenter them (see Section 6.7.2) if system data are lost (see Section 9.1) if you install this option in a different slot. If you order an additional pH option, you receive a data sheet with the number of the option and the calibration data for its measuring inputs. You must enter these data for correct potential and temperature measurements if they are not stored on the actual option (see Section 6.7.2). The data for the characteristic line of the measuring inputs are always stored on KF options! Note: As the characteristic line of the measuring inputs can exhibit long-term drift, we advise you to have the inputs recalibrated every 2 years by METTLER TOLEDO Service.
10.6
Note: Ensure that you are not electrostatically charged when you perform this operation! We recommend you touch the metallic part of the titrator housing before you insert the memory card to ensure the charge is not transferred to the titrator interior. Swing open the cover (1) of the slot for the memory card. Push in the memory card until knob (2) springs out. To remove the card, press the knob back in.

TTLIO
10.7
The TTLIO socket of the Centronics option has two inputs and four outputs (In 1/In 2 and Out 1...Out 4). These are assigned by the titrator to commands which are triggered during an analysis. You can wire these inputs and outputs mechanically or electronically to trigger the defined commands by auxiliary units or systems (see following examples). The RS option has the same TTLIO socket as the Centronics option. When it is installed in slot 3, the inputs and outputs are always available and freely configurable (see Sections 6.7.5 and 6.7.6). At slot 4, they are assigned by the titrator to commands which you trigger during an analysis: Socket
1 8 5 7 6 2 3 4
Assignment (see Section 12.10.2: Technical data) GND (Pin 1) ...... In 1 (Pin 2) ........ In 2 (Pin 3) ........ Out 1 (Pin 4) ..... Out 2 (Pin 5) ..... signal ground triggers the start of the analysis or confirms the mask "Current sample" (titration stand 1, 2 or external) triggers the abort of the analysis (Reset) gives a pulse after the sample function the output signal assumes a "low" status during the titration; this does not change until the sample is analyzed (on display of the result list) the output signal assumes a "low" status in the case of an error message; this does not change until the message has been confirmed with OK supply voltage on request for the next sample of a series, this triggers a pulse (only with titration stand 1, 2 or external)
Wiring mechanically If you wire, e.g. pin 1 (ground) with pin 2 (input 1) by attaching a manual event sensor, you can initiate the start of the analysis with this switch. The mask "Defined are" must be blocked from the analysis sequence for this as it can not be confirmed (see Section 6.7.3).

Attaching a keyboard
A DIN socket is located on the left side of the titrator and can be used for the attachment of an external keyboard for alphanumeric entries. Attach the keyboard using the appropriate DIN cable (see Section 12.10: Technical data). The following table shows the keys and key combinations which correspond to the command, menu, auxiliary function and entry keys of the titrator: Titrator key

Bar-code reader/terminal
10.8.1
You can attach a bar-code reader to the external keyboard. To ensure this is recognized by the titrator, you must program a "header" and "terminator" with the external keyboard (see Operating Instructions of the keyboard in question). The titrator requires the key sequence "Shift"/"Enter" for both parameters. You can then read in, e.g. the bar code for the sample identification without having to define the bar-code reader in the Setup menu. You must define the bar-code reader if you wish to use it for direct data transfer to a computer (see Section 2.7.3).
10.9
You have attached the terminal to the titrator and defined it (see Section 2.7.3). To configure it, proceed as follows: Switch off the titrator. Switch on the terminal and wait until the message VT340 OK appears. Press the Set-Up key: The SET-UP DIRECTORY appears. a. If you have already configured the terminal for other connections, first select Recall Factory Default Settings to reactivate the default settings. b. If you have not yet used the terminal, you can change some of the default parameters directly. Select General Set-UP and change the following parameters: Terminal mode VT300-8bit Select Display Set-Up and change the following parameters: Scrolling jump Status Display host writable Select Communications Set-Up and change the following parameters: Transmit Speed 9600 * Receive XOFF Point 512 Character Format 8 bits, even parity * * These parameters must match the defined terminal settings!
