TITRATOR STARTUP

This is a general outline of the steps required to make a titration. The following sections expand
upon each section.
• Place the instrument on a flat table. Do not place the instrument in direct sun light.
• Connect the power adapter to the instrument.
• Turn the instrument ON using the power switch from the rear panel of the instrument.
• Set up the instrument. See the “Setup Configuration Menu” section for details.
• Connect the pH sensor and temperature probe to the instrument.
• Calibrate the pH electrode. At least a single point calibration is necessary for titration.
• Place the peristaltic pump tube on the pump (inlet tube is connected with the reagent bottle,

outlet tube is connected with the dosing tip). See the “Pump Tube Replacement” section for
the procedure.

• Remove the reagent bottle cap and replace the bottle cap with the tubes. Place the reagent

bottle in the appropriate place on the titrator top (pay attention to the titration range).

• Purge the titrant.
• Calibrate the pump.
• Prepare the sample.
• Run a titration and log sample results.
