All instructions aimed at maintaining the KjelMaster Systems (K-375 / K-376 or K-375 / K-377) respec-
tively the KjelMaster K-375 (standalone) in good working condition are to be observed. This also
includes periodic cleaning and checking for any possible damage.
After each maintenance process the measurement-technical reliability according to EN ISO 8655,
Part 3 and 6 has to be verified.
If a disturbance, a malfunction or another defect becomes obvious, the maintenance work must be
carried out immediately.

Before sample determination (potentiometry)
∙ Remove the electrode from the storage cap (the cap can be
fixed to the electrode holder on the
front side of the housing) and place it into the receiving vessel.
∙ Rinse the titration hoses (Path: System Preparation
Buret functions
Buret function “Dose”).
∙ Calibrate the pH electrode with fresh buffer solution, see also chapter “6.6.1 System Prepara-
tion”.
∙ Prime the system (Path: System Preparation
Priming), see also chapter “6.6.1 System Prepara-
tion”.
∙ Submerge the pH electrode into the measuring medium at least up to the diaphragm.
NOTE
All glass parts must be warm before the analysis begins. Therefore a preheating of the system is
necessary if more than 15 minutes pass between two determinations (Path: System Preparation >
Preheating).
Cleaning between samples is not necessary, unless sample deposits are found in the splash
protector. (Path: System Preparation
Cleaning).
