1.1 Instrument description
1 Introduction
1.1 Instrument description
The 830 IC Interface provides the connection between the PC and external IC or HPLC peripheral instruments. Up to 16 instruments including 4 detectors can be connected to the 830 IC Interface and controlled
by means of the «IC Net» PC software. The 830 IC Interface can also
record and convert the analog signals from a maximum of 4 channels
(two at once) which are processed at very high resolution.
Fig. 1 shows an overview of all the Metrohm instruments which can be
connected to the 830 IC Interface and are described in these ‘Instructions for Use’. It is also possible to connect Bischoff instruments;
please refer to the «IC Net» on-line program help as well as the relevant
Bischoff instruction manuals.

1 Introduction
1.4 Safety notes
While electrical safety in the handling of the 830 IC 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 830 IC 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
5
disconnected from mains connection
!
• 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 830 IC 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.

2.1 Setting up the instrument
2 Installation
2.1 Setting up the instrument
2.1.1 Packaging
The 830 IC 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
After receipt, immediately check whether the shipment is complete and
has arrived without damage (compare with delivery note and list of
accessories in section 4.2). In the case of transport damage, see
instructions in section 4.5.1 "Warranty".
2.1.3 Location
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.
2.1.4 Arrangement of the instruments
The modular IC instruments can be piled up in any order. The best
place for the 830 IC Interface is on top of a modular IC system.
The 830 IC Interface should always be placed above components
carrying liquids so that any leaks which may occur in the tubing or
connections cannot cause damage by leakage of liquids (e.g. acid).

2 Installation
2.2 Mains connection
2.2.1 Mains voltage and fuses
The 830 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 earthing socket 2 (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 5 at the 830 IC Interface (see Fig. 3).
2.2.3 Switching the instrument on/off
The 830 IC Interface is switched on and off using mains switch 3 (see
Fig. 3). When the instrument is switched on a start-up check routine is
running the mains pilot lamp 1 flashes twice slowly and remains on.

2.3 Connection to the PC
2.3.1 Connecting cable
Always switch off 830 IC Interface and PC before you connect the two
instruments with the 6.2134.100 Cable
Connect the PC connection 6 at the 830 IC 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.

2.3.2 Software installation
The PC program «IC Net 2.3» is required for the operation of the 830 IC
Interface; this is contained on the 6.6034.033 CD included in the accessories. This program runs under Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems and is installed according to section 1.4.2 of the «IC Net»
Instructions for Use.

2.4 Connection of external instruments
2.4.1 General information
Before an external instrument is connected to the 830 IC Interface, the
3
830 IC Interface must always be switched off using mains switch
Each system of the two versions of the 830 IC Interface has four RS232
interfaces 10 or 14 for connection of a maximum of 8 external instruments, an 7 or 11 interface for analog signals from a maximum of 2 detectors and 8 remote output lines 8/9 or 12/13 for controlling external
instruments by making contacts or impulses (see Fig. 3). Information
about the technical data of these interfaces is given in section 4.1.
For installation and startup of external instruments proceed as follows:
1 Switch off all instruments
!
• Switch off 830 IC Interface and all external instruments using
the mains switch.
2 Connect instruments
• Connect the instruments to the 830 IC Interface according to
the connection diagrams shown in sections 2.4.2 to 2.4.15 by
using the cables named in the diagrams. Other instrument
combinations can be set up by using these examples as a
guide.
3 Switch on all instruments
• Switch on 830 IC Interface and all external instruments using
the mains switch.
4 Instrument settings
Operation with the 830 IC Interface requires that the following
settings must be made:
• Advanced IC instruments:
818 IC Pump
819 IC Detector
820 IC Separation Center
833 IC Liquid Handling Unit
These instruments are already pre-configured, no additional
settings must be made.
Also all other Metrohm IC instruments can be operated with the
830 IC Interface, for the settings of the instruments please refer
to the respective instructions for use.
• 732 IC Detector:
