1 Introduction
1.1 The 814 USB Sample Processor in the Titrando system
The 814 USB Sample Processor is a component of the modular Titrando
system. Operation is carried out by a Touch Control with touch-sensitive
screen ("Stand alone" titrator) or by a computer with a corresponding
software.
A Titrando system can contain numerous, various kinds of devices. The
following figure provides an overview of the peripheral devices you can
connect to the 814 USB Sample Processor.

1.2 Instrument description
Up to three control devices (Titrandos, Dosing Interfaces, USB Sample Processors etc.) can be controlled via USB connection by the Touch Control.
With the tiamo software the system can arbitrarily be extended with control devices.
Updating the device software is described in the manual for the Touch
Control or in the tiamo help, respectively.
1.2 Instrument description
The 814 USB Sample Processor is a versatile instrument. It has been
designed exclusively for usage in factories and laboratories and thereby
covers a wide range of applications.
Thanks to the integration of high-performance USB interfaces, it can be
incorporated seamlessly into a Metrohm Titrando system. The various
communication possibilities of the Titrando system (Remote Box, LIMS
connection etc.) can thus all be used. Thanks to these abilities, a 814 USB
Sample Processor is predetermined for all kind of automation tasks in a
modern laboratory, especially for highly integrated laboratory data systems.
￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭
The user interface of the Touch Control or the tiamo™ software guarantees comfortable operation and programming of the 814 USB Sample Processor. The comprehensive range of commands and the various configuration possibilities can comfortably and efficiently be used this way. The
integration into the Titrando system also guarantees a 100% conformity
of the complete automation system according to the regulations of the
FDA (Federal Drug Administration), especially to the regulation 21 CFR
part 11, electronic records and signatures.
There are exchangeable standard sample racks available for many vessel
dimensions. Freely selectable "Special beaker" positions can be defined for
e.g. rinsing or conditioning beakers on every rack.
Customer-specific special racks for individual requirements can be fabricated upon request.
1.2.1 Model versions
The 814 USB Sample Processor is available in the following versions with

1.2.3 Intended use
The 814 USB Sample Processor is designed for usage as an automation
system in analytical laboratories. It is not suitable for usage in biochemical, biological or medical environments in its basic equipment version.
The present instrument is suitable for processing chemicals and flammable
samples. The usage of the 814 USB Sample Processor therefore requires
that the user has basic knowledge and experience in the handling of toxic
and caustic substances. Knowledge with respect to the application of the
fire prevention measures prescribed for laboratories is also mandatory.

1 Introduction
Mains voltage
Warning
An incorrect mains voltage can damage the instrument.
Only operate this instrument with a mains voltage specified for it (see
rear panel of the instrument).
Protection against electrostatic charges
Warning
Electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic charges and can be
destroyed by discharges.
Always pull the mains cable out of the mains connection socket before
connecting or disconnecting electrical appliances on the rear panel of
the instrument.
1.4.3 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.
Check the connections regularly for leakage. If the instrument is used
mainly in unattended operation, then weekly inspections are mandatory.
1.4.4 Personnel safety
Warning
Wear protective goggles and working clothes suitable for laboratory
work while operating the 814 USB Sample Processor. It is also advisable
to wear gloves when caustic liquids are used or in situations where
glass vessels could break.

1.4 Safety instructions
￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭
Warning
Always install the safety shield supplied with the equipment before
using the instrument for the first time. Pre-installed safety shields are
not allowed to be removed.
The 814 USB Sample Processor may not be operated without a safety
shield!
Warning
Personnel are not permitted to reach into the working area of the
instrument while operations are running!
A considerable risk of injury exists for the user.
Warning
In the event of a possible blockage of a drive, the mains plug must be
pulled out of the socket immediately. Do not attempt to free jammed
sample vessels or other parts while the device is switched on. Blockages
can only be cleared when the instrument is in a voltage-free status; this
action generally involves a considerable risk of injury.
Warning
The 814 USB Sample Processor is not suitable for utilization in biochemical, biological or medical environments in its basic equipment version.
Appropriate protective measures must be implemented in the event
that potentially infectious samples or reagents are being processed.

2 Overview of the instrument
Magnet codes
Every single sample rack can be unambiguously identified by means of a
magnet code. The Sample Processor can thus recognize automatically
which rack is in place.
When replacing a rack, this should first be returned to starting position
using the Rack initialization function (see "Manual Control" in the control software). This will enable an unambiguous recognition of the rack
and thus the correct positioning of the beaker. A positioning table is
assigned to each rack type in which each rack position is defined.

3.3 Connecting a computer
The 814 USB Sample Processor requires a USB connection to a computer
in order to be able to be controlled by a PC software. When a 6.2151.000
controller cable is used, the instrument can be connected directly, either
to a USB socket on a computer, to a connected USB hub or to a different
Metrohm control instrument.
Cable connection and driver installation
A driver installation is required in order to ensure that the 814 USB Sample
Processor is recognized by the PC software. To accomplish this, you must
comply with the procedures specified. The following steps are necessary:
1
Installing the software
￭ Insert the PC software installation CD and carry out the installa-
tion program directions.
￭ Exit the program if you have started it after the installation.
2
Establishing cable connections
￭ Connect all peripheral devices to the instrument (see Chapter 3.8,
page 26).
￭ Connect the 814 USB Sample Processor to the mains supply if you
have not already done this.
￭ Connect the instrument to your computer through a USB connec-
tor (Type A) (see Instructions for Use for your computer). The
6.2151.000 cable is used for this purpose.

3.4 Installing rinsing and aspiration equipment
For Windows Vista: The instrument is recognized and the installation assistant for the driver is started automatically. Select the option
"Find and install driver software". Agree to all subsequent requests.
The installation assistant will be exited automatically.
The plug on the instrument end of the 6.2151.000 controller cable is
protected with an anti-pull device to prevent the cable from being
pulled out accidentally. If you wish to pull out the plug, then you must
first retract the outer plug sleeve marked with arrows.
Registering and configuring the instrument in the PC software
The instrument must be registered in the configuration of your PC software. Once that has been done, you can then configure it according to
your requirements. Proceed as follows:
￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭
Note
1
Setting up the instrument
￭ Start up the PC software.
The instrument is recognized automatically. The configuration dialog for the instrument is displayed.
￭ Make configuration settings for the instrument and its connec-
tors.
More detailed information concerning the configuration of the instument can be found in the documentation for the respective PC software.
3.4 Installing rinsing and aspiration equipment
Various tubings are necessary for rinsing the electrode and the dosing tips
as well as for aspirating the sample solution after the titration. First,
mount the tubings on the distributor.
