3 Installation
CAUTION
The Touch Control must be shut down properly by deactivation with
the power switch on the rear of the instrument before the power supply is interrupted. If this is not done, then there is a danger of data loss.
Because of the fact that the power supply for the Touch Control is provided through the Titrando, you must never disconnect the Titrando
from the power supply (e.g. by deactivating with a connector strip)
before you have deactivated the Touch Control.
If you would prefer not to position the Touch Control directly next to the
Titrando, then you can lengthen the connection with the 6.2151.010
cable. The maximum connection length permitted is 5 m.
3.2.1.2

software.
3.3 Connecting MSB devices
In order to connect MSB devices, e.g. stirrers or dosing devices, Metrohm
instruments are equipped with up to a maximum of four connectors on
what is referred to as the Metrohm Serial Bus (MSB). Various kinds of
peripheral devices can be connected in sequence (in series, as a
"daisy chain") at a single MSB connector (8-pin Mini DIN socket) and controlled simultaneously by the respective control device. In addition to the
connection cable, stirrers and the Remote Box are each equipped with
their own MSB socket for this purpose.
3 Installation
The following figure provides an overview of the instruments that can be
connected to an MSB socket, along with a number of different cabling
variations.

3.3 Connecting MSB devices
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
NOTE
When connecting MSB devices together, the following must be
observed:
■Only one device of the same type can be used at a single MSB con-
nector at one time.
■Type 700 Dosino and 685 Dosimat dosing devices cannot be con-
nected together with other MSB instruments on a shared connector.
These dosing devices must be connected separately.
CAUTION
Exit the control software before you plug in MSB instruments. When it
is switched on, the control device automatically recognizes which
device is connected to which MSB connector. The operating unit or the
control software enters the connected MSB devices into the system
configuration (device manager).
MSB connections can be extended with the 6.2151.010 cable. The maximum connection length permitted is 15 m.
3.3.1 Connecting a dosing device
Four dosing devices can be connected to the instrument (MSB 1 to MSB

3.3.3 Connecting a Remote Box
Instruments that are controlled via remote lines and/or that send control
signals via remote lines can be connected via the 6.2148.010 Remote Box.
In addition to Metrohm, other instrument manufacturers also use similar
connectors that make it possible to connect different instruments
together. These interfaces are also frequently given the designations "TTL
Logic", "I/O Control" or "Relay Control" and generally have a signal level
of 5 volts.
Control signals are understood to be electrical line statuses or electrical
pulses (> 200 ms) which display the operating status of an instrument or
which trigger or report an event. Sequences on a variety of instruments
can thus be coordinated in a single complex automation system. No
exchange of data is possible, however.

You can, for example, connect an 849 Level Control (fill level monitoring
in a canister) or a 731 Relay Box (switch box for 230/110 volt alternating
current sockets and low-voltage direct current outlets). The Remote Box
also has an MSB socket at which a further MSB device, e.g. a dosing
device or a stirrer, can be connected.
You will find precise information concerning the pin assignment of the
interface on the Remote Box in the appendix.

A Dosino allows the automatic replacement of reagents.
For aspiration, the 6.5617.000 aspiration equipment is used, including a
complete dosing unit and a 50 mL glass cylinder. For aspirating greasy
samples when only the sample and not the whole reagent is aspirated, we
recommend using a dosing unit with a 20 mL cylinder. For highly viscous
samples a dosing unit with a 10 mL cylinder is suitable.

3.5.5 Coulometer cell with Karl Fischer oven
When samples release their water only slowly or only at higher temperatures, the oven method is used. The sample is heated in a KF oven (e.g.
860 KF Thermoprep) and the water that is released is transferred to the
coulometer cell with a carrier gas. A detailed description of setting up the
coulometer cell with the KF oven can be found in the respective manual.
3.5.6 Coulometer cell with sample changer
If a large number of samples have to be processed, the determination of
the water content can be automated with the aid of a sample changer
with oven module (e.g. 874 Oven Sample Processor). A detailed description of setting up the coulometer cell with the sample changer can be
found in the respective manual.

4 Coulometric titration
4 Coulometric titration
4.1 Principle of coulometry according to Karl Fischer
The coulometric Karl Fischer titration is a variation of the classic
water content determination method according to Karl Fischer. The conventional method works with a methanolic solution of iodine, sulfur dioxide and a base as buffer substance. If an aqueous sample is titrated, then
several reactions take place that can be summarized in the following sum
equation:
According to the equation above the I2 reacts quantitatively with H2O.
This chemical equation serves as a basis for the water content determination.
With the coulometric Karl Fischer titration, the necessary iodine is
directly and electrochemically generated in the electrolyte containing
iodine ("electronic buret"). Between the amount of electric charge and the
amount of generated iodine, there is a strictly quantitative relationship,
which is used for high-precision dosing of the iodine. Because the coulometric Karl Fischer method is an absolute determination, no titer needs
to be determined. It must only be ensured that the reaction generating
the iodine runs with a 100% current efficiency. All of the reagents available today ensure this.
The endpoint indication is effected voltametrically by modulating an alternating current of constant strength to a double Pt electrode. This results in
a voltage differential between the Pt wires. This is drastically reduced as
soon as even the slightest amounts of free iodine are present. This circumstance is used for detecting the endpoint of the titration.

4.2 Working with water standards
4.2.1 Certified water standards
Commercially available, certified water standards with water contents of
1.00 ± 0.003 mg/g and/or 0.10 ± 0.005 mg/g should be used for validating the instrument as a whole, integrated system.
NOTE
The 1.0 mg/g water standard is easier to handle and therefore to be
preferred.
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Table 1
Recommended sample size ranges
Water standard 1.0 mg/g0.2 - 2.0 g
Water standard 0.1 mg/g0.5 - 5.0 g
4.2.2 Practical recommendations
For validation, it is essential to work very accurately. In order to minimize
any measurement inaccuracies that could occur, the sample preparation
and the sample processing should proceed in accordance with a defined
scheme:
Put on gloves (as always with Karl Fischer titration).
1
Use a clean syringe.
2
NOTE
If you are working with the 0.1 mg/g water standard, then you
must use a glass syringe. If you are working with the 1.0 mg/g
water standard, then you may use either a plastic syringe or a
glass syringe.
■■■■■■■■
36
Take a new ampoule of water standard and shake it briefly.
3
With a folded paper towel held between thumb and index finger,
4
break open the ampoule at the marking.
Draw approx. 1 mL of the water standard into the syringe.
5
851 Titrando
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
4 Coulometric titration
Pull the piston of the syringe up to the end and swing the syringe
6
back and forth somewhat.
The inside of the syringe is being rinsed by water standard and freed
from water contamination.
Dispose of the used water standard in a waste bottle.
7
Draw the rest of the water standard into the syringe, aspirating as lit-
8
tle air as possible.
Push out any air bubbles that may be present in the syringe.
9
Wipe off the needle with a lint-free paper towel and cover it with the
10
appropriate cap.
Place the syringe on the balance and press [TARA].
11
As soon as the drift on the 851 Titrando is stable, take the syringe by
12
hand, press [START] and inject approx. 1 mL of the water standard
through the septum.
There are two possibilities:
■Version 1:
Inject the water standard without immersing the needle in the
reagent liquid. If a little drop remains on the end of the needle, it
must be aspirated back before pulling the needle out of the septum.
The water standard should not be sprayed from the syringe onto
the electrode nor onto the wall of the coulometer cell.
■Version 2:
Inject the water standard directly under the surface of the reagent
liquid.
Take care to ensure that you do not aspirate any liquid when you
withdraw the syringe from the reagent liquid.
Close the syringe with the same cap and place it back on the bal-
13
ance.
Read off the value displayed by the balance and enter it as sample
14
size on the Touch Control or in the PC software (e.g. tiamo).
If you have connected a balance to the Titrando, you may transmit
the sample size directly from the balance.

4.3 Sample addition
This chapter contains a few notes concerning sample addition. An exhaustive discussion of this topic is not possible here. Further notes can be

4.3.1 Size of the sample size
The sample weight should be small in order to be able to titrate as many
samples as possible in the same electrolyte solution and in order to keep
the titration time short. However, ensure that the sample contains at least
50 µg of H2O. The following table helps you determine the appropriate
sample size.

4.3.2 Working with liquid samples
Liquid samples are added with a syringe. The samples can be injected in
two different ways:
■You can use a syringe with a long needle, which is immersed in the
reagent during the injection.
■You can use a syringe with a short needle and aspirate the last drop
back into the needle.
■■■■■■■■
38
851 Titrando
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
4 Coulometric titration
The best way for you to determine the injected sample amount is to
reweigh the sample.
Glass syringes should be used for the determination of traces and val-idations. We recommend obtaining these from a specialized syringe
manufacturer.
Highly volatile samples and samples of low viscosity should be
cooled before sampling. Doing so avoids losses while working. The syringe
must, however, not be cooled directly, as condensation could form. For
the same reason, no air may be aspirated into a syringe into which a
cooled sample has been aspirated beforehand.
Samples of high viscosity can be thinned by heating. The syringe must
be heated as well. The same effect can also be achieved by diluting with a
suitable solvent. In this case, the water content of the solvent has to be
determined and subtracted as blank value.
Pastes and fats can be added to the coulometer cell with a syringe without needle. You can use the ground-joint opening for this. If you also wish
to aspirate, you can use the opening with the septum stopper. The best
way for you to determine the sample amount is to reweigh the sample.
If samples contain only traces of water, then the syringe has to be predried well. If possible, the syringe should be rinsed with the sample solution by filling in and discarding solution several times.
4.3.3 Working with solid samples
If possible, solid samples are to be extracted or dissolved in a suitable solvent. The resulting solution is injected, and a blank value correction for the
solvent has to be made.
If no suitable solvent can be found for a solid sample, or if the sample
reacts with the Karl Fischer reagent, then a Karl Fischer oven should be
used.
If solid samples are added directly into the coulometer cell, then the generator electrode without diaphragm should be used. The samples can be
added through the ground-joint opening or through the side opening.
While doing so, take care to ensure that
■the sample releases its moisture completely.
■no side reaction with the Karl Fischer reagent takes place.
■the surfaces of the electrodes are not covered by the sample substance
(incomplete KF reaction).
■the Pt grid of the generator electrode does not become damaged.
■the Pt wires of the indicator electrode do not become damaged.

4.4 Optimum working conditions
4.4 Optimum working conditions
4.4.1 General
When a coulometer cell that has been well dried-out beforehand is put
into operation with a generator electrode without diaphragm, the basic
drift will be reached within approx. 30 minutes. It is recommended that
the coulometer cell be repeatedly and carefully shaken during this time.
For generator electrodes with diaphragm, you should expect a preparation
time of approx. 2 hours.
To obtain precise determinations of amounts of water smaller than
100 µg, it may also be of advantage to condition the coulometer cell overnight before using it.
If the Titrando is switched off for extended periods with the coulometer
cell filled, it will take some time for it to become conditioned again after it
is switched back on.
With continuous use, the Titrando should not be switched off overnight.
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
4.4.2 Drift
A constant drift in the range of ≤ 4 µg/min is all right. Lower values, however, are quite possible. Higher but stable values will still produce good
results, because the drift can be compensated.
A constantly high drift can be caused by water-containing deposits in
inaccessible parts of the coulometer cell. In these cases, shaking the cell
can reduce the value. Ensure that there are no drops above the liquid level
in the coulometer cell.
If you are working with a generator electrode with diaphragm, shake the
cell only hard enough that the catholyte and anolyte do not mix with one
another. If the drift remains too high for a prolonged time, even after
shaking the cell, then the electrolyte solutions should be replaced. The
catholyte should be replaced once per week.
A wet catholyte can be another reason for the excessively high drift. The
wet catholyte can be dried with a KF single-component reagent.
When you work with a Karl Fischer oven, a drift ≤ of 10 µg/min is all right.
The drift depends on the gas flow (the smaller the gas flow, the lower the
drift) and on the humidity of the surroundings.
■■■■■■■■
40
851 Titrando
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
4.4.3 Reagent replacement
The electrolyte solutions must be replaced in the following cases:
■The coulometer cell is too full.
■The KF reagent has reached its capacity limit.
■The drift is too high, and cannot be reduced by shaking the coulometer
cell.
■A two-phase-mixture is being formed in the coulometer cell; in this
case it is also possible to aspirate the sample phase only.
Exhausted electrolyte solution is best disposed of by aspiration. To do this,
you can use, for example, an 803 Ti Stand with built-in membrane pump.
An advantage is, that the coulometer cell does not have to be disassembled.
In the event of severe contamination, the coulometer cell can be rinsed
with a suitable solvent which is also aspirated.
In the case of the generator electrode with diaphragm, the catholyte
should be replaced once per week. Longer use can cause blackening and
yellow precipitates in the cathode chamber. A discernable stench is also a
sign of having used the catholyte for too long.
4 Coulometric titration
4.4.4 Indicator electrode
A new indicator electrode can take a certain warm-up time for forming
the surface. During this time unexpectedly long titration times and high
measurement results can occur. This phenomenon will, however, disappear after a short time of use. In order to accelerate the setting of a new
indicator electrode, the 851 Titrando can be conditioned e.g. over night.
A contaminated indicator electrode can be carefully cleaned with an abrasive agent (6.2802.000 polishing set or toothpaste). After the cleaning,
rinse with ethanol.
The two Pt wires of the indicator electrode should run as parallel as possible to one another. Check the Pt wires before inserting the electrode.

5 Operation and maintenance
5.1 General notes
5.1.1 Care
The 851 Titrando requires appropriate care. Excess contamination of the
instrument may result in functional disruptions and a reduction in the lifetime of the otherwise sturdy mechanics and electronics.
Spilled chemicals and solvents should be removed immediately. Above all,
the plug connections on the rear of the instrument (in particular the
power socket) should be protected from contamination.
CAUTION
Although this is largely prevented by design measures, the power plug
should be unplugged immediately if aggressive media have found their
way into the interior of the instrument to prevent serious damage to
the instrument electronics. In such cases, Metrohm Service must be
informed.
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
5.1.2 Maintenance by Metrohm Service
Maintenance of the 851 Titrando is best carried out as part of annual service, which is performed by specialist personnel from Metrohm. If you are
frequently working with caustic and corrosive chemicals, a shorter maintenance interval could be necessary.
Metrohm Service offers every form of technical advice for maintenance
and service of all Metrohm instruments.

5.2.1 Generator electrode without diaphragm
The 6.0345.100 generator electrode without diaphragm is easy to handle
and clean. It needs only one reagent and is quickly ready for use (no moisture deposits in the diaphragm!). The generator electrode without diaphragm is suitable for most applications. It should be specifically used for
severely contaminated samples.
5.2.1.1 Reagents
Use only reagents that are specifically intended for generator electrodes
without diaphragms. Details can be found in the documentation of the
reagent manufacturers.
5 Operation and maintenance
5.2.1.2
Cleaning
As a rule, the electrolyte solution can be exchanged without special cleaning of the parts. If cleaning is necessary anyway, ensure that the Pt grid of
the generator electrode is not damaged.
■Contaminations containing oil
First clean with a solvent (e.g. hexane), then rinse with ethanol.
■Saline depositions
First clean with water, then rinse with ethanol.
Thoroughly dry all parts after cleaning. A hair dryer can be used for this. If
the parts are dried in the drying oven the temperature must not exceed
70 °C (plastic parts!).
5.2.2 Generator electrode with diaphragm
The 6.0344.100 generator electrode with diaphragm should be used for
samples containing ketones, because special reagents for ketones are only
available for generator electrodes with diaphragm. If your reagent has a
low conductivity, e.g. because you have to add chloroform to the sample
due to its solubility, you should prefer the generator electrode with diaphragm. It is also recommended when you have to rely on a high accuracy in the lowest trace range.
5.2.2.1
851 Titrando
Reagents
Reagents for the coulometric water content determination with generator
electrodes with diaphragm consist of the anode solution (anolyte), which
is filled in the titration vessel, and the cathode solution (catholyte), which
is filled in the generator electrode.
For the water content determinations in ketones, special reagents have to
be used (see the documentation of the reagent manufacturers).

ethanol.
■Contaminations containing oil
First clean with a solvent (e.g. hexane), then rinse with ethanol.
■Saline depositions
First clean with water, then rinse with ethanol.
■Cleaning (rinsing) the diaphragm
Fill the cathode chamber of the generator electrode with methanol and
let the contents flow out. Repeat this procedure two or three times.
This procedure should also be carried out after the cleaning described
above.

for the optimum dosing rate: During conditioning, display the drift and add sample
without starting the titration. Select a value
below the highest drift as dosing rate.
■Stir faster.
■Replace the working medium.
■Reduce the amount of solubility promoter,
if working with solvent mixtures, see technical literature.
Wipe off the electrode with ethanol or a suitable solvent.
Replace the working medium.
Wipe off the electrode with ethanol or a suitable solvent.
The endpoint is
reached too quickly.
The titration times
with volumetric
titration are constantly longer.
The electrode has a short
circuit.
The dosing rate outside the
control range is too high.
The buffer capacity of the
solvent may be exhausted
with two-component
reagents.
1. Check the Pt wires.
2. Activate the electrode check.
Select the user-defined titration rate and
reduce the dosing rate (see manual/help of the
software used).
Replace the working medium.

9 Warranty (guarantee)
Metrohm guarantees that the deliveries and services it provides are free of
defects in materials, design or manufacturing.
The general warranty period is 36 months (exclusions below) from the
date of delivery or 18 months in the event of continuous operation. The
warranty remains valid on the condition that the servicing is provided by a
service organization authorized by Metrohm at defined intervals and with
a defined scope.
The warranty period for anion suppressors of the type "MSM" is 120
months from the date of delivery or 60 months in the case of continuous
operation.
The warranty period for IC separation columns is 90 days after start-up.
For third-party components that are recognizable as such, the manufacturer's warranty regulations apply.
9 Warranty (guarantee)
Consumables and materials with limited storage life and glass breakage in
the case of electrodes or other glass parts are excluded from the warranty.
Warranty claims cannot be asserted if the ordering party has failed to
meet its payment obligations according to schedule.
During the warranty period, Metrohm undertakes either to replace free of
charge or to credit the purchaser for any modules or components that can
be shown to be faulty. Any transport or customs fees that may apply are
the ordering party’s responsibility.
The precondition for this is that the ordering party has to specify the article number, the article designation, an adequate error description, the
delivery date and (if applicable) the serial number or chip data in the Support Tracker. Metrohm then decides whether a replacement or a credit
note is to be issued or whether the faulty part has to be returned using
the Return Material Authorization (RMA). If a replacement or credit note is
issued, the ordering party undertakes to store the faulty part for at least
24 months in accordance with the current storage directives (in compliance with ESD guidelines) and to hold it in readiness for onsite inspection
or for return shipment to Metrohm. Metrohm reserves the right to invoice
the ordering party for these articles, including retroactively, in the event of
noncompliance with these preconditions.
851 Titrando
The same warranty periods that are specified for a corresponding new
part apply to parts that are replaced or repaired within the above-mentioned warranty periods. However, replacement or repair of a part does
not extend the warranty period of the entire system.
■■■■■■■■
55
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Deficiencies arising from circumstances that are not the responsibility of
Metrohm, such as improper storage or improper use, etc., are expressly
excluded from the warranty.
Metrohm also offers a 120 month spare parts availability guarantee and a
60 month PC software support warranty, calculated from the date on
which the product is withdrawn from the market. The content of this warranty is the ability of the customer to obtain functioning spare parts or
appropriate software support at market prices during the time of the warranty period.
If Metrohm AG is unable to meet this obligation due to circumstances
beyond the control of Metrohm AG, then the ordering party shall be
offered alternative solutions at preferential conditions.
