Introduction
Read me!
The interface of the Titration Manager has been specially designed to
clearly guide you through every step of the programming and running of
the analyses, whether you are a supervisor or a routine user.
An important part of this interface is to check and control the presence of
different elements necessary to run the defined application.
Thanks to a RFID tag attached to each burette stand, the Titration
Manager is able to know at any moment which reagent is installed on
which burette stands. Handling burettes and reagents is easier and more
secure. See "Titrant management using RFID tags" at the end of this
chapter.
Working in Supervisor mode
The Supervisor has access to all parameter edition screens for creation
and edition purposes.
When programming in “SUPERVISOR” mode, it is recommended to work
in stages. These stages should be carried out in the order described
below:
1. Define your electrode(s)
Identify electrodes (including temperature sensors) to be used for the
analysis.
Electrodes can be created from the following lists, Catalogue, Other or
Copy from. When creating the electrode, define if electrode calibration is
required (or not), if yes specify the “periodicity” of the calibrations and the
pH standards to be used. Refer to chapter 3.
2. Define reagent
Identify reagents to be used for the analysis.
Reagents can be created from the following lists, Catalogue, Other, Copy
from. When creating the reagent, define if reagent calibration is required
(or titre entered manually), if yes specify the “periodicity” of the calibrations 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.
Introduction
3. Create a new method or Edit a pre-programmed one
Create 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 preprogrammed application, refer to Short-Form Reminder no. 3.
If a sample changer is to be used, define the sample changer in the
Configuration menu before selecting Working mode = SAC
sequence in the main window.
4. Check icons
The 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 calibration 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/are
not defined in the selected method. Revise the method
programming.
Calculator icon:
Reprocessing mode (Working mode = Reprocessing) is set
on the instrument.
Refer to Reagent and Electrode windows.
Chapter 1
When Cloudy/Stormy/Question mark icons appear, press 1 to run
the “Check” command.
Depending on the icons displayed, the Titration Manager will
automatically guide you through the steps necessary to run the
analysis.
a. Connect/install the electrode(s)

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

✶ IMPORTANT ✶
Before pressing the Run key, check the following points listed below:
1.
Select the method by pressing 3 in the main window.
2.
If Question marks "?" are present in the electrode and/or reagent
tabs. Programming error due to missing electrode/reagent
parameters. Contact your supervisor.
3.
Connect/Check electrode(s). Refer to Short-Form Reminder no. 1.
When installing/checking an electrode system, do not forget to
connect all the installed electrodes to the Titration Manager or
ABU62 sockets and to install these electrodes on the Titration
Manager (Location = TIM) or the SAC80 or SAC90 Sample Changer
(Location = SAC).
It is important to immerse, in the same measuring beaker, all the
installed electrodes having the same location.
For example: mV at imposed current and pH measurements.
If your installed electrode system comprises a double platinum
electrode with a combined pH electrode, the electrodes must remain
permanently immersed in the same beaker, in order to measure the
pH correctly. This is because it is the double platinum electrode that
provides the connection to the ground and not the reference
electrode.
This so-called " 3-electrode or differential measurement
configuration" will stop the double platinum electrode altering the
measurement at the pH electrode.
When using this configuration for an electrode calibration, the double
platinum electrode and the pH electrode must always be immersed in
the same beaker.
Important: Never remove an electrode or an electrode system
without running the Installation/checking procedure first. The
instrument needs to know its configuration at any time.
For more information, refer to the Reference Manual of your titration
system, keyword index: "Electrode connection - Important".
