QUICK START GUIDE
INTRODUCTION
The HI 904 Karl Fischer Coulometric titrator is extremely flexible, capable of performing a wide variety of highly accurate and precise water content titration methods.
The HI 904 finds a titration endpoint using a polarized electrode and an advanced detection algorithm. A constant flow of current is maintained between the two platinum pins of the titrator’s electrode. When the solution in the titration vessel contains water, a relatively large voltage is required to maintain the flow of current between the pins. As the titration proceeds, the water in the sample is consumed by the iodine that is generated electrolytically within the vessel. At the end point, all of the water has been reacted and the cell contains excess iodine. The presence of excess iodine within the titration cell results in a reduction in the amount of voltage required to maintain the constant current between the pins of the electrode. The endpoint detection algorithm incorporated in the HI 904 analyzes both the electrode response to individual additions of iodine and the shape of the entire titration curve in order to determine the endpoint of the titration.
Titration reports and methods can be transferred to a PC via a USB interface, saved to a USB flash drive or printed directly from the titrator. An external monitor and keyboard can be attached for added convenience.

QUICK START GUIDE
BEFORE PERFORMING THE FIRST TITRATION
Setup the Titrator
•Make sure that all of the titrator assemblies are properly installed (see Instruction Manual, Setup section).
•Make sure that the vessel system is properly sealed against atmospheric moisture (the fittings and tubes are correctly mounted).
•The desiccant had been properly dried.
Obtaining the Reagents
•The reagents have to be suitable to the analysis requirements (see Instruction Manual, Appendix 2 for list of preferred reagents).
HOW TO PERFORM THE FIRST TITRATION
Method Selection
For this analysis we will use the HI 9301EN Moisture in Solvent.
To select this method:
•Press 
from the Idle screen. Use the 
and 
keys to highlight the
HI 9301EN Moisture in Solvent method.
•Press 
.
After accomplishing these operations, the method’s name will be displayed on the top line of the Idle screen.
Setup Titration Report
Users can select the information that is stored for each titration that is performed.
To obtain proper information at the end of the titration, perform the following operations:
• From the main screen, press 
and the Data Parameters screen will be displayed.
•Highlight the Setup Titration Report option and press 
.
•Mark the fields to be included with the “*” symbol using the 
and 
keys and press 
to toggle the selection.
•Press 
and then press 
to return to the main screen.

QUICK START GUIDE
Fill Titration Vessel with Reagent
The titration vessel must be filled with reagent up to the MIN marker (about 75 mL):
•Lower the reagent tube below the liquid level inside the reagent bottle.
•From the Idle screen, press 
.
•Push and hold the FILL button located on the top of the air pump.
•Wait until the vessel is filled up to the MIN marker with solvent.
•Stop the air pump by pressing 
and then confirm the approximate amount of reagent in the vessel.
•Raise the reagent tube above the liquid in the reagent bottle.
Prepare the Reagent for Samples
Before beginning a titration, residual moisture inside the titration vessel and reagent must be reacted:
•From the Idle screen, press 
. The titrator will enter Pre-Titration mode, start the magnetic stirrer, and begin dosing in the titration vessel.
•Once all residual moisture has been reacted (endpoint potential is reached), the titrator will enter Drift Analysis mode (assuming Automatic Drift Entry is selected). The titrator calculates the rate of atmospheric moisture seeping into the titration beaker for the next minute and displays the result in the lower right corner of the display.
•If the Drift Rate is stable and the endpoint potential is maintained, the titrator will enter Standby mode. The titrator continues to maintain the endpoint potential and update the background drift rate.
Note: New (or cleaned) detector electrodes have low electrical resistance due to a lack of platinum-iodine complexes on the electrode surface. This may cause initial mV readings to be low and prevent proper pre-titration of the reagent. The endpoint value (100 mV by default) should be 200-250 mV below the mV value of “wet” reagent for proper pre-titration to occur. If necessary, adjust the endpoint and/or imposed current (in Method Options) to facilitate proper pre-titration. The platinum-iodine complex should form after several titrations and raise the mV readings.
Preparing and Introducing the Sample
Sample Mass Preparation
Measuring the sample size by mass using an analytical balance will give the most reproducible results.
11
QUICK START GUIDE
Liquid Samples:
•Samples with low viscosity will be added using a syringe with needle (injection through the septum).
•Weigh the syringe before and after injection in order to increase precision (back-weighing technique).
Sample Volume Preparation
Liquid samples with low viscosity can be added by volume.
Samples should be added using a precision syringe and needle.
Performing a Titration
•From the main screen press 
for analyzing a sample. You will be prompted to enter the analyte size. Add a prepared sample according to a preparation method
outlined above. Enter the analyte size and press 
. The titrator will start the analysis according to the selected method.
•At the end of the titration, the message “Titration Completed” will appear on the titration status, together with the final concentration of the moisture in the sample, the end point volume, and other relevant information. The titrator re-enters Standby mode (if active) in the background.

2.3.4Titrator Assembly
Note: Assembly operations must be completed before connecting the titrator to the power supply!
2.3.4.1Connecting the Air Pump
The diaphragm air pump system is designed to work with the specially designed bottle top assemblies. It allows the reagent in the titration vessel to be removed and/or replaced with minimal exposure of the interior of the vessel to ambient moisture from atmospheric humidity. Connect the air pump with the following steps (see Figure 1):
(1)Retrieve the air pump cable (PUMP 1) from inside the left bay. Connect the cable to the air pump as shown in Figure 1. The air pump connector is located on the left side of the motor.
(2)Lower the pump into the titrator, then slide it towards the front of the titrator chassis until it is firmly latched.
(3)Secure the pump with the locking screw.
Figure 1.

SETUP
2.3.4.2 Connecting the Reagent Adapter Holder
The Reagent Adapter Holder is a convenient dock for the Reagent Exchange Adapter when it is not in use. The holder consists of a base that fastens to the titrator pump bay and a removable standard-taper glass tube. The glass tube holds the Reagent Exchange Adapter and will catch possible drips from the reagent/waste tubes. It is easily removable for cleaning purposes. Install the Reagent Adapter Holder with the following steps (see Figure 2.):
(1)Lower the Reagent Adapter Holder base into the right bay, then slide it towards the front of the titrator chassis until it is firmly latched.
(2)Secure the base with the locking screw.
(3)Insert the glass tube into the hole in the base. If the tube does not slide easily into the holder, apply a small amount of glass joint grease (included) to the outside of the tube for lubrication.
Figure 2
Note: To set up the Reagent Exchange Adapter, see Section 2.3.6.
