When a 6.2151.020 USB cable is used, then the 6.2148.030 RS-232/USB Box can be connected to the 848 Titrino plus by means of a USB hub or a 6.2151.100 adapter (see Chapter 3.5, page 12).
Connect the 9-pin plug of the respective balance connecting cable to the RS 232/1 connector. Consult the user manual of the balance in order to select the correct connecting cable.
The parameters for the RS-232 interface on the instrument must match those on the balance (see "Editing the COM1 settings", page 64). Additionally consult the user manual of the balance.
The 848 Titrino plus has a USB (OTG) connector. Use the provided 6.2151.100 adapter USB MINI (OTG) - USB A for connecting USB devices as e.g. printers, keyboards or USB sticks, see the following figure.

Caution
Switch the instrument off before connecting or disconnecting a USB device or a USB stick.
The 848 Titrino plus can only recognize the device immediately after switching on.
The following devices can be operated directly on the USB connector with the 6.2151.100 adapter:
USB sticks (for the backup or storing of methods)
6.2147.000 numerical USB keypad
6.2148.030 RS-232/USB Box (for connecting balances or for the RS-232 remote control)
USB hub (with or without an own power supply)
The 6.2147.000 numerical USB keypad serves for comfortable numerical input and for navigating in the dialog. In addition, it provides two USB connectors. Connect additional USB devices to the keypad.
Note
Most of the USB devices need a so-called hub in order to work correctly.
A USB hub is a distributor to which several USB devices can be connected. USB hubs are available in specialty stores in a number of different models.
The USB (OTG) connector of the 848 Titrino plus has no such hub. The 6.2147.000 numerical USB keypad has a USB hub and two USB connectors.

The following devices can only be connected to a 6.2147.000 numerical keypad or to a USB hub:
Printer (with USB connector, use the 6.2151.020 connecting cable)
Barcode reader (with USB cable)
Mouse (PC mouse with USB cable, for navigating in the dialog)
The following devices can only be connected to a USB hub:
PC keyboard (with USB cable, for the comfortable input of letters and numbers)
Keypad with numerical keypad (with USB cable)
If you wish to connect several different instruments without own power supply, then you must possibly use a USB hub with own power supply (self powered). The USB (OTG) connector of the 848 Titrino plus is not designed for supplying power to several devices with elevated electricity requirements.
Also observe the instructions in chapter 10.4, page 119.

4 Titrations
Dynamic equivalence point titration is a titration mode for all standard titrations. The reagent is added in variable volume steps. The volume increments vary as a function of the slope of the curve. An attempt is made to achieve constant measured value alterations with each dosing. The optimal volume for dosing is determined from the measured value alterations of the previous dosings. Measured value acceptance is driftcontrolled (equilibrium titration) or after a waiting time. Equivalence points are evaluated automatically.

Monotonic equivalence point titration is a titration mode for titrations with relatively high signal fluctuations or suddenly occurring potential jumps and for slow titrations or slow-response electrodes. The reagent is added in constant volume steps. Measured value acceptance is drift-con- trolled (equilibrium titration) or after a waiting time. Equivalence points are evaluated automatically.

4.3Endpoint titration (SET)
Endpoint titration is a titration mode for rapid routine determinations to a preset endpoint (e.g. titrations in accordance with special norms) and titrations for which reagent overflow must be avoided. The titration termination at the endpoint takes place either drift-controlled or after a waiting period. The volume dosed until the endpoint is used for calculating the content of the sample.
