1 Introduction

1.1 Instrument description

The 807 Dosing Unit is a versatile buret unit which can be operated with a 700 Dosino or 800 Dosino dosing drive. The 807 Dosing Unit is suitable for precise dosings, titrations, pipetting procedures, sample transfers, etc.
The four inputs and outputs (ports) are designed for flexible use (presum­ing the presence of a suitable control device).
Thanks to the transparent housing of the 807 Dosing Unit, piston move­ments and stopcock rotations are visible. This means that even complex liquid handling applications are easy to monitor. The unobstructed view into the dosing cylinder also ensures that solutions can be monitored with respect to the absence of bubbles and the leak-tightness of the cylinder unit.

1 Introduction

Specifications concerning the dosing unit and the reagent can be stored in the integrated data chip. This data can be extracted and updated by a suitable control device.

1.2 Model versions

The 807 Dosing Unit is available with cylinder sizes of 2 mL, 5 mL, 10 mL, 20 mL and 50 mL. In addition to glass cylinders, plastic cylinders (ETFE) specially manufactured for alkali and other aggressive solutions are also available.

1.4 Safety instructions

1.4.1 Tubing and capillary connections

CAUTION
Leaks in tubing and capillary connections are a safety risk. Tighten all connections well by hand. Avoid applying excessive force to tubing connections. Damaged tubing ends lead to leakage. Appropriate tools can be used to loosen connections.
1 Introduction
Check the connections regularly for leakage. If the instrument is used mainly in unattended operation, then weekly inspections are manda­tory.

1.4.2 Flammable solvents and chemicals

WARNING
All relevant safety measures are to be observed when working with flammable solvents and chemicals.
Set up the instrument in a well-ventilated location. Keep all sources of flame far from the workplace. Clean up spilled fluids and solids immediately. Follow the safety instructions of the chemical manufacturer.

3.1 Greasing the dosing unit

3 Installation

3.1 Greasing the dosing unit
We recommend that the upper side of the centering tube and interior edges of the upper side of the housing be greased with paraffin grease
6.2803.010 before the dosing unit is used for the first time. This measure will reduce friction resistance when the centering tube is rotated.
Removing the housing
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Figure 5
Removing the housing
Remove the housing of the dosing unit as follows:
Place the dosing unit on a flat, level surface so that the lettering of
1
the volume specification faces towards the front.
Keep the locking button pressed down.
2
Rotate the housing of the dosing unit by ca. 1 cm to the right (in
3
counterclockwise direction).
Release the locking button.
4
Carefully raise the housing upward.
5
When removing the housing, take care to ensure that the spring clip on the interior side of the housing does not slide out of place.

Grease the sliding surfaces on the interior edge of the housing with
2
paraffin grease 6.2803.010.

3.2 Mounting the storage vessel and the holder

The dosing unit comes equipped with a storage vessel 6.2008.030 with holder 6.2008.050 for the storage of the buret tip. It should be mounted when the device is started up for the first time.
The storage vessel serves as a storage container for the buret tip when the dosing unit is not in use.
The associated holder is used at the same time for mounting a name plate with the designation of the reagent in the dosing unit. Name plates can be reordered under the order number 6.2244.020 from any Metrohm agent.
The dosing unit housing must be removed in order to assemble the stor­age vessel holder (see "Removing the housing", page 10).
