771 IC Compact Interface
1 Introduction
1.1 Instrument description
Two detectors (e.g. 732 IC Detector, 791 VA Detector) can be connected to the 771 IC Compact Interface, which is the interface be-
tween the analog signal and digital information: the built-in 24-bit A/D
converter digitizes the signal coming from the detector and passes it
via the r2232 interface to the COM interface of the PC. In addition the
signal for the start of data recording by the Metrodata «IC Net» software
coming from the injector is also transmitted. Two channels can be recorded simultaneously or independently of each other.
The «ICNet 2.0» PC software for data acquisition and instrument con-
trol is included in the delivery of the 771 IC Compact Interface. For detailed information on this program please refer to the «IC Net» on-line
program help as well as the «IC Net» instruction manual.

1 Introduction
1.4 Safety notes
While electrical safety in the handling of the 771 IC Compact 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 771 IC Compact 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
33
!
• 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 771 IC Compact 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 771 IC Compact 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
2.1.3 Location
After receipt, immediately check whether the shipment is complete and
has arrived without damage (compare with delivery note and list of
accessories in
instructions in
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 Installation
2.2 Mains connection
2.2.1 Mains voltage and fuses
The 771 IC Compact Interface has a power supply which automatically
adjusts itself to the existing mains voltage (100…240 V) and frequency
(50…60 Hz). It is equipped with an electronic overload protection device and also has two fuses; however, these should only be exchanged
by Metrohm service technicians.
2.2.2 Mains cable
The instrument is supplied with one of three mains cables
• 6.2122.020 with plug SEV 12 (Switzerland, …)
• 6.2122.040 with plug CEE(7), VII (Germany, …)
• 6.2133.070 with plug NEMA 5-15 (USA, …)
which are three-cored and fitted with a plug with an earthing pin. If a
different plug has to be fitted, the yellow/green lead (IEC standard)
must be connected to the protective earth (protection class 1).
Any break in the earthing inside or outside the instrument can make it
a hazard!
Plug the mains cable into mains connection plug 33 at the 771 IC Com-
pact Interface (see
Fig. 2
).
2.2.3 Switching the instrument on/off
the 771 IC Compact Interface is switched on and off using mains switch
22 (see
11 lights up.
Fig. 2
). When the instrument is switched on the mains pilot lamp

2.3 Connection to the PC
2.3.1 Connecting cable
Always switch off 771 IC Compact Interface and PC before you connect the two instruments with the 6.2134.100 Cable.
Connect the PC connection 44 at the 771 IC Compact Interface to one of
the serial COM ports at the PC using the 6.2134.100 Cable (9 pin/9
pin). If only a 25-pin COM interface is available on the PC then the
6.2125.110 Adapter cable or a commercially available adapter must be
used.

4.3 Warranty and conformity
4.3.1 Warranty
The warranty on our products is limited to defects that are traceable to
material, construction or manufacturing error which occur within 12
months from the day of delivery. In this case, the defects will be rectified in our workshops free of charge. Transport costs are to be paid by
the customer.
For day and night operation, the warranty is limited to 6 months.
Glass breakage in the case of electrodes or other 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 the regard to the guarantee of accuracy, the technical specifications in the instruction manual are authoritative.
Concerning defects in material, construction or design as well as the
absence of guaranteed features, the orderer 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 embedment 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).
No warranty responsibility whatsoever will be accepted by Metrohm for
damage which arises as a result of non-compliance with these instructions.
