For burette air bubble removal,

run the Flush procedure

Maintenance recommendations

Form no. 11

Daily

Check and maintain electrodes according to manufacturer recommendations.

Check that there is no crystallisation at piston level, if so rinse the burette using
appropriate solvent to remove crystals. If not sufficient, dismount burette to remove
crystals.

Check that there is no crystallisation at addition tip end that may block the reagent to
pour freely, if so use appropriate solvent to remove crystals.

Check the level of reagent in the reagent bottle

Empty waste bottle if installed.

Remove air bubbles from the burette and tubing by running a “Flush” procedure from
the burette menu.

Weekly

glass

Reagent

cylinder

piston

Reagent

Flush the burette with appropriate solvent to
ensure complete cleaning of burette and
stopcock.

✓

Change burette

stand

Check the piston for leakages.

The burette stand must be changed when at
least 2 mm of liquid can be seen between
the two sealing lips. Refer to diagram.
Having 1 mm or less liquid between the two
sealing lips does not require to change the
burette stand.

Annualy

Replace burette stand, 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 ml and the anti-diffusion tip, part. no.956-309.

Frequent use or use with aggressive or concentrated reagents occurring crystallisation risks
may severely reduce the burette and anti-diffusion tip lifetime and may consequently
require to replace them more frequently.

Replace burette stand set of 3 tubing, (stands 5, 10, 25, 50 ml, part number X31T115
and stand 1 ml, part number X31T116).

Replace damaged burette accessories: bottle stopper, desiccant tubing.

Contact your Radiometer Analytical representative for instrument revision and cleaning.

Recommendations of use

After installing new burette and/or tubing, before use, check that all tubing fittings are
sufficiently tightened to prevent leakage, and that no tubings are crimped (do not over
tight fittings)

The reagent should be at room temperature before use in the burette.

Do not leave burette installed with concentrated base, acid or salt solutions. Always rinse
after use, at least daily, to increase stopcock and burette lifetime.

Organic solvents: the organic solvents given as reacting with and/or destroying the
VITON® (Fluorinated polymer) should not be used with our burette stands (example:
TetraHydroFurane). The solvents given as simply making inflate the VITON® are allowed.
Please contact us if you wish to work with solvents destroying the VITON®.

D21T047 • Printed by Radiometer Analytical SAS • France • 2008-09H

Keep your system in

tiptop condition!

Storage recommendations

Form no. 12

Daily

Rinse electrodes and delivery tip throughly with distilled water after use.

Store the electrode(s) following the instructions given in the respective operating
instructions.

Overnight and up to 1 week

In case of spillages, clean the exterior surface of the instrument with a soft cloth and
tepid water. Avoid the accumulation of excess water around the keyboard area.

Long-term 1 week or more

Run the “Rinse” procedure from the Burette menu to remove reagent from burette and
tubings.

If the system is to be left in the same location, store electrode(s) following the long-term
storage instructions given in the respective operating instructions.

If the system is to be transported, dismount the burette stand, metal rod, and cell
accessories before packing.

For transportation, always use the packaging supplied by the manufacturer.
