1.2. Purpose
1.2 Purpose
With the 773 pH/mV Simulator, instruments which measure poten­tials can be aligned and checked, e.g. Titrinos, Titroprocessors, pH meters, ion meters, etc. In addition, the input impedance of the measuring amplifier and the insulation resistance of the accompa­nying cable can be checked. The temperature measuring input, the measuring input for polarized electrodes (Ipol) and conductivity meters can also be checked. The Simulator produces a pH value or a potential value in the range from pH = ± 20.000 and U = ± 2000.00 mV respectively.

2 Operation
Before you use the instrument for the first time you must insert the batteries. The battery compartment is found on the bottom panel of the instrument. Press the battery compartment tongue downwards to open the compartment. Insert the 4 batteries (Mignon 1.5V-LR6) according to the diagram in the battery compartment (take care that the plus poles are in the correct position!). The instrument switches itself off automatically after 50 minutes op­eration. In order to avoid incorrect measurements resulting from exhausted batteries, the 773 pH/mV Simulator switches itself off when the volt­age is insufficient. The batteries must then be replaced. The batter­ies have a working life of approx. 1 to 2 years (depending on use).
Checking the pH
Microprocessor-controlled pH meters and titrators measure U/mV and pH via the same analog measuring input as a potential value. They then calculate the pH from it by using the pH calibration pa­rameters and the temperature. The processor system is checked each time that the instrument is switched on so that it is virtually im­possible that this conversion could be incorrect and not be noticed. This means that for microprocessor-controlled instruments only the potential U/mV needs to be checked. Neither the pH nor the tem­perature compensation requires checking. This has the advantage that the calibration parameters do not need to be set to standard values.

1. Connect the socket "WE" of the 773 pH/mV Simulator with the measuring input of the instrument with the 6.2150.040 Cable.
For instruments with an E-plug (e.g. 670, 636) use the 6.2150.030 Cable.
For checking the instrument and its electrode cable:
Screw off the cable from the sensor and insert it in socket "WE" of the 773 pH/mV Simulator. If you normally work with separate electrodes then remove the cable from the reference electrode and insert it in socket "RE" of the 773.
2. Switch on the 773 pH/mV Simulator; the pilot lamp lights up.
3. Set the instrument to be checked to "Measure U".
4. Select the required factor and sign for U (switch 6).
Example with measurement switch on "2": Switch setting Measured value + x1 2 mV
- x100 -200 mV
5. Set impedance switch Ri to 0.002 MΩ.
6. Set the required value with the measurement switch and read off the measured value on the instrument being checked. Compare this measured value with the value given in the table. Please take into account both the resolution of your instrument’s display and the information about tolerances given in the ‘Instructions for Use’ for your instrument.
7. Set impedance switch Ri to 1000 M. The measured value on the instrument being checked should differ from the value obtained in step 6 by less than 1 mV.
Examples:
Set on pH Simulator Read off on instrument 1500 mV, Ri= ≈ 0.002 MΩ 1500 mV, Ri= 1000 M alignment poor, high-impedance OK.

5. Select "pH", (switch 6).
6. Set impedance switch Ri to 0.002 MΩ.
7. Select the temperature on the 773 pH/mV (switch 7). It must be the same as the measuring temperature of the instrument being tested.
8. Set the required value with the measurement switch and read off the measured value on the instrument being checked. Compare this measured value with the value given in the table. Please take into account both the resolution of your instrument’s display and the information about tolerances given in the ‘Instructions for Use’ for your instrument.
9. Set impedance switch Ri to 1000 M. The measured value on the instrument being checked should differ from the value obtained in step 8 by less than pH=0.01.

6.2150.050 Cable
If no diagnosis instructions are available please proceed as follows:
1. Connect the sockets "14.3 k" of the 773 pH/mV Simulator with
the Pol measuring input of the instrument being checked with
6.2150.050 Cable.
For instruments with banana plugs (e.g. 692) use 6.2150.000 Cables.
2. Set the instrument being checked to measurement with polarized electrodes (Ipol).
3. The measured value depends on the polarization current and is calculated as follows: U = R x I = 14.3 k x set polarization current
Example with Ipol = 1 uA: Measured value U = 14.3 k X 1 uA = 14.3 mV
The polarization potential source Upol can be checked similarly. The measured value is calculated from I = U/R
The exact values for the resistances can be found in the table on the upper side of the instrument (field R-Test / R). Please take into ac­count both the resolution of your instrument’s display and the infor­mation about tolerances given in the ‘Instructions for Use’ for your instrument. With low values for the polarization current or potential the variations may be slightly higher.

2. Note the values for the cell constant and the temperature set on the instrument being checked. Set cell constant = 1 and the ref­erence temperature which is valid for the instrument (20 or 25 °C).
3. Set the instrument being checked to "Measure conductivity".
4. The value should be approx. 70 uS (exact value in the table - field R-Test / G).

3.2. Warranty and certificates
3.2 Warranty and certificates
3.2.1 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, buret 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). For damage which arises as a result of non­compliance with these instructions, no warranty responsibility what­soever will be accepted by METROHM.
3.2.2 Maintenance
12
We recommend that you have the instrument serviced by the Metrohm Service Department at intervals of 2 years. Send it packed in its case together with the cables supplied with it.
