IntroductionoductionoductionoductionoductionRead me!Read me!Read me!Read me!Read me!The interface of the Titration Manager has been specially designed toclearly guide you through every step of the programming and running ofthe analyses, whether you are a supervisor or a routine user.An important part of this interface is to check and control the presence ofdifferent elements necessary to run the defined application.Thanks to a RFID tag attached to each burette stand, the TitrationManager is able to know at any moment which reagent is installed onwhich burette stands. Handling burettes and reagents is easier and moresecure. See "Titrant management using RFID tags" at the end of thischapter.WWWWWorking in Supervisor modeorking in Supervisor modeorking in Supervisor modeorking in Supervisor modeorking in Supervisor modeThe Supervisor has access to all parameter edition screens for creationand edition purposes.When programming in “SUPERVISOR” mode, it is recommended to workin stages. These stages should be carried out in the order describedbelow:1. Define your electrode(s)Identify electrodes (including temperature sensors) to be used for theanalysis.Electrodes can be created from the following lists, Catalogue, Other orCopy from. When creating the electrode, define if electrode calibration isrequired (or not), if yes specify the “periodicity” of the calibrations and thepH standards to be used. Refer to chapter 3.2. Define reagentIdentify reagents to be used for the analysis.Reagents can be created from the following lists, Catalogue, Other, Copyfrom. When creating the reagent, define if reagent calibration is required(or titre entered manually), if yes specify the “periodicity” of the calibra-tions and the calibration method. Refer to chapter 3.If you are to perform a calibration, make sure that the electrode(s)used for the calibration are the same as those used in the method.
8Chapter 13. Create a new method or Edit a pre-programmed oneCreate the measurement or titration method to be used for the analyses.Enter the parameters required to calculate the results, refer to chapter 3.When you have finished programming, select the method or pre-programmed application, refer to Short-Form Reminder no. 3.If a sample changer is to be used, define the sample changer in theConfiguration menu before selecting Working mode = SACsequence in the main window.4. Check iconsThe following icons indicate the exact state of your working system.Sunny icon:Everything is OK. Run the method or sequence.Sunny icons are required to run the method.Cloudy icon:Action required within 12 or 24 hours. For example calibra-tion and/or reagent bottle exchange.Stormy icon:Electrode/reagent calibration date elapsed or electrode(s)/reagents(s) not installed.Question mark:It is a programming error, reagent and/or electrode is/arenot defined in the selected method. Revise the methodprogramming.Calculator icon:Reprocessing mode (Working mode = Reprocessing) is seton the instrument.Refer to Reagent and Electrode windows.

Introduction 11Reagent handling using RFID technologyReagent handling using RFID technologyReagent handling using RFID technologyReagent handling using RFID technologyReagent handling using RFID technologyWhat’s RFID means and how does it work?What’s RFID means and how does it work?What’s RFID means and how does it work?What’s RFID means and how does it work?What’s RFID means and how does it work?Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) is a generic term that is used todescribe a system that transmits the identity (in the form of a unique serialnumber) of an object or person wirelessly, using radio waves. It's groupedunder the broad category of automatic identification technologies.It’s the combination of a “tag” and a “reader”. A typical RFID tag consistsof a microchip attached to a radio antenna mounted on a substrate. Thechip can store data. The reader is used to retrieve the data stored on anRFID tag. A typical reader is a device that has one or more antennas thatemit radio waves and receive signals back from the tag. The reader thenpasses the information in digital form to a computer system.In our assembly an RFID tag is attached inside the sleeve of the burettestand. This tag is clearly visible.The RFID reader is mounted inside the burette tap block at the back ofthe titrator and located with a small RFID graphic icon.When the buretteis installed, the tag and the reader are face to face.RFID tag placed on the burette standRFID reader mounted inside the burette tap block
12 Chapter 1Which data contains a burette stand RFID tag?Which data contains a burette stand RFID tag?Which data contains a burette stand RFID tag?Which data contains a burette stand RFID tag?Which data contains a burette stand RFID tag?All identification or location information concerning the burette stand andits associated reagent (if a reagent is installed on that stand). The tag alsosupports the reagent GLP data.For the burette stand:.burette ID and burette volume: this information is present in the tagas a factory setting and cannot be erased and changed,.burette first installation date.For the reagent:.reagent identification parameters entered by the user while creatingthe reagent: Reagent ID, target titer, expiry date, batch number andcalibration method parameters (if a calibration is requested),.reagent last calibration date and results.The Burette ID, Burette volume, Reagent ID and Reagent target titer areread on starting the following user actions:.burette installation, replacement and removal,.reagent installation, replacement (reagent of 2 different IDs), bottleexchange and reagent removal.At the end of these actions, new data is saved in the RFID tag of theburette stand.
Introduction 13Benefits of using RFID technology on burette standsBenefits of using RFID technology on burette standsBenefits of using RFID technology on burette standsBenefits of using RFID technology on burette standsBenefits of using RFID technology on burette standsThe Titration Manager knows at any moment which reagent is installedon which burette stands..Handling burettes and reagents is easier.For example, no need to enter data on burette installation. TheTitration Manager reads automatically the burette and installreagent identification data (burette ID and volume),.RFID tag prevents the operator from using wrong reagents.On installing a reagent, the Titration Manager detects automaticallyif a reagent is already installed or not. If a reagent with a different IDis already installed, a reagent replacement is initiated. If a reagentwith a same ID is already installed, no installation is performed anda reagent check data screen is displayed instead.On removing a burette, the Titration Manager detects automaticallyif a reagent is already installed or not. If a reagent is installed, theTitration Manager removes the reagent before removing theburette..RFID tag supports the complete reagent GLP data.By this way, you ever use updated reagents data and traceability ofresult is ensured. There is no possible permutation of identificationdata from one reagent to another.

Select the method by pressing 3 in the main window.2. If Question marks "?" are present in the electrode and/or reagenttabs. Programming error due to missing electrode/reagentparameters. Contact your supervisor.3. Connect/Check electrode(s). Refer to Short-Form Reminder no. 1.When installing/checking an electrode system, do not forget toconnect all the installed electrodes to the Titration Manager orABU62 sockets and to install these electrodes on the TitrationManager (Location = TIM) or the SAC80 or SAC90 Sample Changer(Location = SAC).It is important to immerse, in the same measuring beaker, all theinstalled electrodes having the same location.For example: mV at imposed current and pH measurements.If your installed electrode system comprises a double platinumelectrode with a combined pH electrode, the electrodes must remainpermanently immersed in the same beaker, in order to measure thepH correctly. This is because it is the double platinum electrode thatprovides the connection to the ground and not the referenceelectrode.This so-called " 3-electrode or differential measurementconfiguration" will stop the double platinum electrode altering themeasurement at the pH electrode.When using this configuration for an electrode calibration, the doubleplatinum electrode and the pH electrode must always be immersed inthe same beaker.Important: Never remove an electrode or an electrode systemwithout running the Installation/checking procedure first. Theinstrument needs to know its configuration at any time.For more information, refer to the Reference Manual of your titrationsystem, keyword index: "Electrode connection - Important".
