Overview
Rear view of instrument:
6 Identification plate
Indication of model, series and serial number.
7 Indication of power voltage
Make sure the current has been adapted correctly
before Dosimat is switched on.
8 Connection for external dosing contact
E.g. 6.2107.000 push button cable.
9 Power connection
In power supply systems, in which strong HF
interferences (transients) are superimposed on the
power voltage, the 775 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 Earthing socket
The 775 Dosimat must be grounded correctly and
effectively, if necessary through the separate
earthing socket.
11 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).

2.2 Diagnosis
2.2 Diagnosis
2.2.1 General
The 775 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) and if applicable the error message.
Procedure
The diagnostic menu listed in section 2.2.2 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.

2.2.5 Diagnosis of spindle drive
1.
Insert exchange unit and put the burette tip into a collecting receptacle.
Press feed button 6.2107.000 (if not available, <GO>) all the time until the piston
rod reaches the top position and simultaneously measure the time from start to
stop.
5.
The running time of the spindle is 18 ... 22 s.
General rules:
• Dosimat fills automatically.
• Spindle and cock must move in regular speed (observe sound!)
• In the filling position the cock coupling must turn the lever of the exchange unit blamelessly to the
left stop (almost without play and without jamming).
Repeat point 4. and now measure the filling time until the spindle stops at the
lower end.
The running time (filling time) of the spindle is 18 ... 22 s.

2.3 RAM-initialisation
In rare cases, it is possible that major interference signals such as line spikes and lightning can have an adverse influence on the contents of the data memory. If the contents
of the data memory are undefined, this is indicated after “power on“ with ‘error 5'. The
keyboard is then blocked, no entering is possible until the RAM is initialised again.

2.4 Releasing a locked spindle
with inserted Exchange Unit
The burette drive may very occasionally jam at the top or bottom end of the cylinder. If
jamming occurs at the top or when the drive is out of function, the Exchange Unit can no
longer removed. In this case, it is necessary to proceed as follows:
2 screws (M4 countersunk)
Fig. 3
1.
Disconnect instrument from power supply!
2 screws (M3 fillister head)
knob
edge of bench
2.
Remove control knob.
3.
Place instrument over edge of bench to allow the M3 screws to be removed.
4.
Remove M4 screws.
5.
Lift off top part of instrument together with Exchange Unit in the manner shown by
the arrow.
The electronic circuits are now accessible!
On no account touch these!
6.
Remove spindle from mechanical stop by turning the large gear wheel. (In case
that the motor is inoperative, position spindle by hand to zero position.)

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, 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.
