762 IC InterfaceII

1 Introduction

1.1 Instrument description

The 762 IC Interface provides the connection between the PC and
external IC or HPLC peripheral instruments. Up to 16 instruments in­cluding 4 detectors can be connected to the 762 IC Interface and con­trolled either uniformly or independently by means of the «IC Net» PC
software. The IC 762 Interface can also record and convert the analog
signals from a maximum of 4 channels (two at once) which are proc­essed at very high resolution.

Fig. 1 shows an overview of all the Metrohm instruments which can be
connected to the 762 IC Interface and are described in these
‘Instructions for Use’. It is also possible to connect Bischoff instru­ments; please refer to the «IC Net» on-line program help as well as the
relevant Bischoff instruction manuals.

1 Introduction

1.4 Safety notes

While electrical safety in the handling of the 762 IC Interface is assured
in the context of the specifications IEC 1010-1 (protection class 1, de­gree of protection IP40), the following points should be noted:

• Mains connection

The mains connection must be effected in accordance with the
instructions in section 2.2.

• Opening the instrument

Inside the instrument there are no parts which must be set or adjusted
by the user.

If the 762 IC Interface is connected to the power supply, the instru­ment must not be opened nor must parts be removed from it, other­wise there is a danger of coming into contact with components which
are live. Hence, always disconnect the instrument from all voltage
sources before you open it and ensure that the mains cable is
disconnected from mains connection 8 8 !

• Protection against static charges

Electronic components are sensitive to static charging and can be
destroyed by discharges. Before you touch any of the components
inside the 762 IC Interface, you should earth yourself and any tools
you are using by touching an earthed object (e.g. housing of the
instrument or a radiator) to eliminate any static charges which exist.

2 Installation

2.1 Setting up the instrument

2.1.1 Packaging

The 762 IC Interface is supplied together with the separately packed
accessories in special packagings containing shock-absorbing foam
linings designed to provide excellent protection. The instrument itself is
packed in an evacuated polyethylene bag to prevent the ingress of
dust. Please store all these special packagings as only they assure
transport of the instrument free from damage.

2.1.2 Check

2.1 Setting up the instrument

After receipt, immediately check whether the shipment is complete and
has arrived without damage (compare with delivery note and list of
accessories in section 4.2). In the case of transport damage, see
instructions in section 4.4.1 "Warranty".

2.1.3 Location

Position the instrument in the laboratory at a location convenient for op­eration, free from vibrations and protected against a corrosive atmos­phere and contamination by chemicals.

2.1.4 Arrangement of the instruments

The 762 IC Interface can be piled up together with other IC instruments
(e.g. 732, 733, 709).
