The TitrIC 1 System with one 861 Compact IC, an 815 Robotic Sample Processor and 809 Titrando
The TitrIC 1 System is used for the fully automatic analysis of water samples using direct measurement, titration and ion chromatography. The following measured values are determined in a very short
time: temperature, conductivity, pH, acid capacity, calcium, magnesium, total hardness and, in
parallel, the concentrations of the individual anions. Further Metrohm instruments can be incorporated
in the existing system at any time and used to measure additional parameters.
Analytical sequence
1. Conductivity is measured in the sample vessel on the sample changer.
2. First sample transfer to the 861 Advanced Compact IC.
3. The IC measurement is started automatically.
4. Second sample transfer to the external cell of the 815 Robotic Sample Processor.
5. Temperature, pH and acid capacity (p and m values) calcium, magnesium and total hardness
are determined.
The whole procedure is controlled by the TitrIC software: The user enters the sample position and
sample identification, IC system and tiamo method, after which TitrIC transfers all the relevant
information to tiamo and IC Net. When the measurement has been concluded, TitrIC automatically
generates a joint report containing all results. This report can be printed out or produced as an Excel
table.

2 Installation
The following is a detailed description of the TitrIC 1 System's installation.
We strongly recommend that the individual steps are carried out in the order given below!
2.1 815 Robotic Sample Processor
The sample processor is placed at the side at which it is most easily accessible. Please note that the
following procedure refers exclusively to the version in which the 815 Robotic Sample Processor is
located at the left-hand side of the system.
On the right-hand side of the 815 Robotic Sample Processor, attach the stand support
(6.2001.070) without the horizontal brace to the tower of the 815 (hexagon screw beneath
membrane pump 1). The brace will be installed later.
Do not screw the titration head (6.1462.070) onto the Swing Head!
The Sample Rack supplied is screwed onto the 815.
In the vicinity of the 815 the two canisters (standard equipment of 815) are placed on the
floor: One 10 L canister is used as a waste container, the second as a reservoir for deionized
(DI) water used for rinsing the external cell.
From the smaller opening of the canisters containing DI water, an M8 PTFE tubing connection
of suitable length is led to the connection box made of white plastic of membrane pump 1 and
connected.
From the front opening of the waste canister an M8 PTFE tubing connection of suitable length
is led directly to membrane pump 2 (black plastic) and connected.
A more detailed description is given in the Instructions for Use of the 815 Robotic Sample Processor.
2.2 712 Conductometer (2.712.0010)
The 712 Conductometer is placed directly to the right of the 815 Robotic Sample Processor. For
detailed information about the usage check the Instructions of Use of the 712.
It is recommended to carry out the calibration of the cell constant manually and before tiamo is started
up. Consult thereto the Installation Instructions of the 712 Conductometer, chapter 4.4.3. But firstly
the 712 has to be registered in the configuration of tiamo so that the calibration can be stored.
Thereto the calibration should be made later when the 712 is registered and tiamo shut down.
2.3 Titrando (2.809.0020)
Directly to the right of the 712 Conductometer, place the Titrando with the titration solution
(0.05 M EDTA, at the front, with 10 mL Dosing Unit and 800 Dosino) and the auxiliary complexing
solution (0.2 M TRIS / 0.1 M Acetylacetone, at the rear, with 20 mL Dosing Unit and 800 Dosino).
2.4 Dosino holder (6.2055.100)
The Dosino holder (6.2055.100) is placed at the back of the Titrando and the 712 Conductometer; the
50 mL (6.3032.250) Dosing Unit is screwed and the 20 mL (6.3032.220) Dosing Unit is placed with its
0.1 M HCl titration solution onto this holder at a later stage.
2.5 861 Advanced Compact IC (2.861.0020)
Place the 861 Advanced Compact IC for anions (2.861.0020) to the right of the bottle holder. The
instrument can already be installed. Please consult the Instructions for Use for the Advanced Compact IC instrument.
