Plug cables in and out only if the instruments are switched off.
8 Connection for keyboard
For details of operation with keyboard 6.2149.000 see page 4ff.
9 Power connection
In power supply systems, in which strong HF interferences (transients) are superimposed on the power voltage, the 765 Dosimat should be connected via an
additional power line filter, e.g. METROHM 615 model.
The main cables supplied with the instrument are three-core and equipped with
a plug with an earthing pin. If a different plug has to be fitted, the yellow/green
lead must be connected to the protective earth. Each break in the earthing inside
or outside the instrument can make it a hazard.
When the instrument is opened or if parts of it are removed, certain components
may be live if the instrument is connected to the power line. The power cable
must therefore always be unplugged when certain adjustments are made or
parts replaced.
10 Power switch
Switching on and off Dosimat. The 765 Dosimat is equipped with a non-volatile
memory, i.e. set parameters remain in the working memory if the Dosimat is
switched off and on.
11 Earthing socket
The 765 Dosimat must be grounded correctly and effectively, if necessary
through the separate earthing socket.
12 Connection for stirrer
In general a Magnetic Stirrer (forms a complete titrating stand). Other stirrers
may be connected as well, e.g. a METROHM Rod Stirrer. Supply voltage output:
+9 V DC (I # 200 mA).
13 Connection for external dosing contact
E.g. 6.2107.000 push button cable.
14 Indication of power voltage
Make sure the current has been adapted correctly before Dosimat is switched
on.

Result calculation
If one of the calculation values (blank, factor, smpl) is not set to its standard value, a
result is calculated on filling of the Dosimat according to formula:
(dosed volume–blank)*factor
Result = ————————————————
smpl
The result is recalculated on each entry of a calculation value (blank, factor, smpl).
Pressing <CLEAR> display shows the dosed volume in mL. To start a new dosing, press
<GO> twice, pressing once resets the volume in display to 0.000 mL.
Printing the result on a printer
If Dosimat is set to send RS 232 on (special settings see page 18), filling the Dosimat or
re-calculation triggers a print command. A continuous number (#), the dosed volume and
the calculated result are printed.
Do set new calculation parameters for the next dosing only after having pressed <GO>
once, i.e. if display shows DOS 0.000 ml.
The continuous number is set to zero on switching on the Dosimat and incremented by 1
on every filling command.
Example of print-out

serves to separate the transfer solution of the exchange unit from the sample.
Then display shows PIP 1 0.100 ml, i.e. the Dosimat is ready to aspirate the pipetting
volume (0.1 mL). With <GO> the pipetting volume is aspirated and display shows
PIP 2 0.100 ml which means that the Dosimat is ready to expel the pipetting volume.

• A new air bubble is built with every preparation step ("prep.") e.g. its volume increases.
If you wish to keep the volume of the air bubble expel it in mode DOS before changing
V-PIP.
• For best pipetting results we recommend exchange units with volumes ≤ 20 mL and
pipetting equipment 6.5611.000.
• The aspirating and expelling rates should not be higher than 20 mL/min.
• Hold tubing tip in an angle of app. 45° to the vessel wall during pipetting. Just the
same as you do with glass pipettes!
• The vessel, containing the liquid you want to pipette should stand on the same level as
the vessel into which you are going to expel the liquid in order to ascertain app. the
same level of the pipetting tubing during work.

V-PIP 0.1 ml
V-DIL 1. ml
If mode DIL is loaded, the display shows DIL * 0.000 ml.
The sign * in the display tells you that mode DIL is not ready to be used. With <GO> a
preparation step is carried out during which V-PIP is expelled into the bottle of the
exchange unit and an air bubble is built to separate the solution of the exchange unit from
the sample.
Then the Dosimat is ready to aspirate the pipetting volume (0.1 mL) which is displayed by
DIL 1 0.100 ml and carried out after pressing <GO>.
Then DIL 2 1.100 ml is displayed which means that the Dosimat is ready to expel the
pipetting and the diluting volume (0.1 mL + 1 mL = 1.1 mL). This is executed after
<GO>. The preparation step is now carried out automatically and the Dosimat is ready to
aspirate the next pipetting volume.

Notes
• If you wish to change V-PIP, it is best to change it during filling in the preparation step,
i.e. when display shows DIL ↓ prep..
• If V-PIP is changed at another time, a new preparation step is carried out, which
changes the volume of the air bubble. The first dilution after such a change could be
erroneous and should be discarded. Another possibility is to expel the air bubble in
mode DOS and to start Mode DIL from the beginning. V-DIL can be changed at any
time without a new preparation step.
2.2.6 Mode CNT D, Content Dispenser

Since the volume of the solvent V0 is dispensed in the operational method of the CNT D
mode, higher concentrations require a correction factor which takes the difference
between V
and V (volume of the solution) into consideration:

This factor can be determined with the Dosimat in the DOS mode:
A solution of the desired concentration is prepared in the conventional manner in a
volumetric flask by dispensing the solvent with the aid of the Dosimat up to the mark of
the flask (V
). If the volume V of the volumetric flask is inputted in the calculation
0
parameter "s", the factor f is calculated directly by the Dosimat and appears on the
display.
The factor f determined in this manner holds for the appropriate substance/solvent pair in

3.2 Diagnosis
3.2 Diagnosis
3.2.1 General
The 765 Dosimat is a very precise and dependable feeding instrument.
Thanks to its rugged construction, it is highly unlikely that external mechanical or electrical influences will have any adverse effect on its functions.
Although a fault in the instrument can not be excluded with certainty, the
possibility is greater that malfunctions are caused by wrong operation or
handling, through improper connections and the operation with third-party
devices.
Whatever the case, it is always advisable to localise the fault with the diagnostic tests, which can be performed quickly and simply. The customer
need call Metrohm service only when the instrument really has a fault. Further, he can use the results of the specific diagnostic function to provide the
service engineer with much more precise information.
In the case of inquiries, always quote the serial number on model plate
(see page 3), the program version (see page 18) and if applicable the error
message.
Procedure
The diagnostic menu listed in section 3.2.2 shows all components for which
detailed instructions (diagnostic steps) are available for checking the functionality.
In the case of a possible malfunction, we advise you to perform either the
corresponding diagnostic step or all diagnostic steps as a routine check on
the instrument.
The reactions of the Dosimat to the instructions must be compared with the
descriptions in the diagnostic step. If the Dosimat do not show the expected reaction ("No" case), the appropriate diagnostic step must be repeated to exclude operating errors. However, it is highly probable that repeated wrong reactions indicate a malfunction.
Equipment required:
3.496.0070 Dummy-exchange unit (or exchange units if possible with different cylinder
6.2107.000 Push-button cable or ordinary test lead with 4 mm banana plugs
6.2149.000 Keyboard

4.1 General
4 Operation via RS232 Interface
4.1 General
The Dosimat offers an extensive remote control. Data transmission occurs via an interface
according to RS 232 C in half duplex procedure.
The syntax of the commands is based on the following principles:
• Commands are strings which always begin with a letter.
• Only the first three letters are significant, string length is unlimited.
• Actual parameters have to be separated by a space from the preceding command.
• The input range for numbers is -1E33 ... -1E-37, 0, 1E-37 ... 1E33.
Examples of possible numbers: 3.567
-.5
5.E4
-123.45E-12
• Set 'CR' + 'LF' at the end of a complete command.
• All commands, where the Dosimat has to send data, begin with letter 'Q' (query).
• Each string sent by the Dosimat ends with 'CR' + 'LF'.
• Set handshake up for every character (asynchronous transfer).
There are several exceptions in order to avoid problems with time:
• The commands GO, STOP, FILL, CLEAR, and INFORMATION are so-called 1-byte
commands. They are simply transmitted as 'G', 'S', 'F', 'C', and 'I' . No separating and
terminating signs are necessary.
• With command 'I' (Information), the Dosimat sends two information bytes containing
the information READY, CODE, LOCK, LIMIT etc. see 4.2.7.
• Several commands can be transmitted "live", i.e. during a running function. All other
commands are recognized only if the Dosimat is in its ready state, see 4.2. If
commands are not recognized, the corresponding error bytes of information byte 2 are
set and may be inquired with command 'I'.

5.2 Warranty and certificates
5.2 Warranty and certificates
5.2.1 Warranty
The warranty regarding our products is limited to rectification free of
charge in our workshops of defects that can be proved to be due to
material, design or manufacturing faults which appear within 12
months from the day of delivery. Transport costs are chargeable to
the purchaser.
For day and night operation, the warranty is valid for 6 months.
Glass breakage in the case of electrodes or other glass parts is not
covered by the warranty. Checks which are not a result of material or
manufacturing faults are also charged during the warranty period.
For parts of outside manufacture insofar as these constitute an appreciable part of our instrument, the warranty stipulations of the
manufacturer in question apply.
With regard to the guarantee of accuracy, the technical specifications in the Instructions for Use are authoritative.
Concerning defects in material, construction or design as well as the
absence of guaranteed features, the purchaser has no rights or
claims except those mentioned above.
If damage of the packaging is evident on receipt of a consignment
or if the goods show signs of transport damage after unpacking, the
carrier must be informed immediately and a written damage report
demanded. Lack of an official damage report releases METROHM
from any liability to pay compensation.
If any instruments and parts have to be returned, the original packaging should be used if at all possible. This applies above all to instruments, electrodes, burette cylinders and PTFE pistons. Before
embedding in wood shavings or similar material, the parts must be
packed in a dustproof package (for instruments, use of a plastic bag
is imperative). If open assemblies are enclosed in the scope of delivery that are sensitive to electromagnetic voltages (e.g. data interfaces etc.) these must be returned in the associated original protective packaging (e.g. conductive protective bag). (Exception: assemblies with built-in voltage source belong in a non-conductive protective packaging). For damage which arises as a result of noncompliance with these instructions, no warranty responsibility whatsoever will be accepted by METROHM.

5.5 Continuous dosing with two Dosimats
5.5 Continuous dosing with two Dosimats
Two 765 Dosimats are suitable for continuous dosing.
The two 765 Dosimats are connected with cable 3.980.3140 via both interfaces RS232 (6).
Procedure
• Select mode DIS C in both Dosimats.
• Set on both Dosimats the dispensing volume equal to the volume of the mounted
exchange unit (V-DIS =
If one of the Dosimats is started and reaches the preselected dispensing volume, this
triggers the start of the other Dosimat, etc.
• Prerequisite for continuous dosing is that the filling rate is higher than the expelling rate
(while one Dosimat is expelling, the other one is refilling i.e. in addition to the
movement of the piston two turns of the cock are necessary, about 2 s for each
turning).
Example: rate ↑ ≤ 0.85 rate ↓
At high rates, the effective expelling rate can deviate from the set rate by max. 4 % as a
result of the finite resolution of the digital rate control, but the effective rate is held
constant with quartz crystal accuracy.

Example:
Continuous dosing of 55 mL. Exchange units with volumes of 20 mL and 10 mL.
Key:
End volume V = 55 mL
Exchange unit 1 V1 = 20 mL
Exchange unit 2 V2 = 10 mL

2. VR = 55 - 1*(20+10) = 25
3. 25 (VR) is larger than 20 (V1), i.e. Dosimat 2 is the final burette.
4. V-LIM for Dosimat 2 is: 55-20*(1+1) = 15
Settings:
