Material Sensor: DGi115-SC Chemicals For this titration you need the chemicals listed below. • • • • Approx. 5 ml of a HCl solution (0.1 mol/L) A titrant bottle containing a carbonate free NaOH solution (0.1 mol/L) 3 buffer solutions: pH 4.01, 7.00 and 9.21 from METTLER TOLEDO Approximately 50 mg potassium hydrogen phthalate 5.2.1 Preparation § The titrator is assembled, connected, and installed (see Installation). § A compact stirrer is placed in the appropriate opening on the titration stand and connected to the STIRRER PUMP output of the titrator. § A USB printer is connected to port USB 1 or USB 2 of the titrator. Tap Setup > Hardware > Titration Stands > Manual stand > Save. Prepare the 10 ml burette for the sodium hydroxide. To protect the NaOH solution against CO2, install a drying tube on the burette holder of the NaOH bottle. Insert the burette. ð An Info dialog appears, which allows you to initialize the burette. Burettes only have to be initialized the first time they are used on the titrator. If you use the burette for the first time on the titrator, tap Initialize. ð The titrator initializes the burette. When the burette is initialized, remove the burette from the titrator and place the burette back on the titrator. ð The titrator recognizes the initialized burette. To create a new titrant for the burette, tap Create. To assign a titrant to the burette, tap Assign . ð The system updates the burette data and the assigned titrant appears with the suffix PnP in the setup. Attach a titration vessel to the titration stand and connect the dispensing tube for the titrant to the titration head. Titration Excellence 23 5.2.2 Rinsing and filling the burette To fill the burette and tubes with titrant and remove any air bubbles from the system, rinse the burette three times with titrant with the manual operation Rinse. § The titrator is prepared as described in [Preparation } Page 23]. 1 To ensure that the system has no leaks, check all tubes and closing points for firm seating. 2 Make sure that the free end of the dispensing tube for the titrant is placed in the titration vessel or another container. 3 Tap Manual > Burette > Rinse. ð The dialog Rinse opens. 4 Set Titrant to NaOH 0.1 mol/L. 5 Set Cycles to "3". 6 To start the rinse procedure, tap Start. ð The rinse procedure starts and an animation shows the progress. 7 When the rinse procedure is complete, tap OK. ð The dialog Rinse opens. ð The burette is filled and the tubes are free of air bubbles. 5.2.3 Calibrating and testing the sensor The following describes how to calibrate a pH sensor or carry out a sensor test. Preparation Make sure no analysis is running on the titrator. Connect the plug of the sensor (DGi115-SC) to the port "SENSOR" of the titrator. Insert the sensor into the titration head.

If required, it is possible to include a skipped sample (Excl.) into a statistic manually in the dialog Results. 6 Transporting the titrator If you transport the titrator over long distances, use the original packaging. Empty all tubes. Empty the titration vessel. Shut down the titrator. Unplug the titrator. Remove all cable connections. Remove the titration vessel from the titration stand. Remove all tubes. Remove all burettes. Move the titrator to the new location. 7 Care and maintenance 7.1 Cleaning Housing of the titrator Clean the housing of the titrator using a cloth moistened with alcohol. 28 Titration Excellence Titration stand 1 Loosen the threaded ring (4) and remove it from the titration stand (1). 2 Remove the clamping ring (3) and the spacing ring (2) from the titration stand (1). 3 Clean the parts of the titration stand. 4 Place the clamping ring (3) and the spacing ring (2) in the threaded ring (4). 5 Screw the threaded ring (4) into the titration stand. 7.2 Maintenance Mettler Toledo recommends that a preventive maintenance and calibration certification is done at least once a year through your local Mettler Toledo Service Organization. NOTICE Danger of damage to the titrator through leaking burettes! Substances leaking out of burettes can enter the housing and damage parts of the installed boards. − Check the burettes for leaks and replace leaking burettes. Daily • • • Remove the burettes from the titrator. If you work with corrosive substances, rinse the burettes. If you work with corrosive substances, check the burettes for leaks and replace leaking burettes. Weekly • If you use the burettes daily, check the burettes for leaks and replace leaking burettes. Before periods of inactivity Rinse the burettes. Empty all tubes. Empty the titration vessel. Shut down the titrator. Unplug the titrator. Remove the titration vessel from the titration stand. Remove all tubes. Remove all burettes. 8 Disposal In conformance with the European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) this device may not be disposed of in domestic waste.

All Rights Reserved. Power Management The devices have a power management system which prevents the titrator from switching off unexpectedly in the event of a power overload. Tasks which would cause a power overload, because a number of pumps, stirrers and burette drives are already in use, cannot be started at all. A notification brings the start attempt to the attention of the user. It is advisable, if possible, to connect pumps and stirrers directly to sample changers or other devices which have their own power supply, such as a TBox, instead of to the titrator itself. 9.2 Terminal Dimensions Materials 30 Width 194 mm Depth 129.5 mm Height 56.7 mm Weight 638.4 g Top housing EN ZL-ZnAl4Cu1 (EN Zl-0410) Lower housing Crastin SO653 Cover glas Gorilla glas Titration Excellence www.mt.com/titration For more information Mettler-Toledo GmbH Im Langacher 44 8606 Greifensee, Switzerland www.mt.com/contact Subject to technical changes. © Mettler-Toledo GmbH 06/2017 30297063C 30297063
