Installation Instructions of TitrIC 4
The TitrIC 4 System is used for the fully automatic analysis of water samples using direct measurement, titration and ion chromatography. The following parameters 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 processor.
2. First sample transfer to the 881 Compact IC pro.
3. The IC anion determination is started automatically.
4. Second sample transfer to the external titration cell of the 815 Robotic USB Sample Processor XL.
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 information to tiamo automatically generates a joint report containing all results. This report can be printed out or exported as an Excel file.

2 Installation
The following is a detailed description of the TitrIC 4 System's installation.
We strongly recommend that the individual steps are carried out in the order given below!
2.1 815 Robotic USB Sample Processor XL
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 sample processor is located at the left­hand side of the system.
On the right-hand side of the 815 Robotic USB Sample Processor XL, 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 swing arm (6.1462.050) 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 USB Sample Processor XL.
2.2 856 Conductometer (2.7856.0010)
The 856 Conductometer is placed directly at the right of the sample processor. For detailed information about the usage check the Instructions of Use of the 856. It is recommended to carry out the calibration of the cell constant in tiamo further information consult the installation instructions of the 856 Conductometer.

before measurements. For
2.3 Titrando (2.905.0020)
Directly to the right of the 856 Conductometer, place the Titrando with the titration solution (0.05 mol/L EDTA, at the front, with 10 mL Dosing Unit and 800 Dosino) and the auxiliary complexing solution (0.2 mol/L 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 856 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 mol/L HCl titration solution onto this holder at a later stage.
2.5 Compact IC pro – Anion – MCS (2.881.0030)
Place the 881 Compact IC pro for anions (2.881.0030) to the right of the bottle holder. The instrument can already be installed. Please consult the Instructions for Use for the Compact IC pro instrument.
