Introduction
The ION570 Ion Analyser is dedicated for routine use. It offers two distinct user levels:
• Supervisor
Dedicated for operators who wish to edit their methods to fit their specific needs. They can
also assign a password to protect the programmed data from eventual changes.
•Routine
Dedicated for operators wishing to use the routine functions to guide them step by step
through the analyses.
The ION570 can store up to 50 methods, 30 electrodes and 30 reagents. In addition 30
electrodes and 20 reagents have been pre-defined to help you save time setting up your
application.
Thanks to the preprogrammed applications, the Ion Analyser is ready for use as soon as it has
been installed. Refer to "Appendix 1: Preprogrammed methods", page 199.
The ION570 also allows you to automatically sequence and repeat measurements.
The purpose of the ION570 Reference Manual is to give detailed information on the
Ion Analyser and the data displayed during operations. The information is listed in
alphabetical order for quick access and cross-references are listed in italics.
In addition to this handbook, a general User’s Guide (part no. D21M069) is available giving
descriptions and overviews of the workstation menus and operating concepts to guide you
through programming and running of the analyses.

Read me!
An important feature of this instrument interface is that it controls the presence of different
elements necessary to run the defined application for a selected method/sequence, before the
method/sequence is run.
Working in Supervisor mode
A Supervisor has access to all the libraries for creation purposes.
When programming the instrument in “SUPERVISOR” mode, it is recommended to work in
stages. These stages must be carried out in the order described below:
A.To program method
1. Define your electrode(s)
Identify electrodes (including temperature sensors) to be used for the analysis:
Electrodes can be created from the following lists:
Catalogue, see "Catalogue list", page 62.
Other, see "Others list", page 139.
Copy from, see "Copy electrode", page 73.
When creating the electrode, define if electrode calibration is required (or not), if yes specify
the "periodicity" of the calibrations and the pH, ISE or conductivity standards to be used.
Refer to "Calibrate pH electrodes", page 55.
Refer to "Calibrate ISE electrodes", page 55.
Refer to "Calibrate conductivity cells", page 55.
2. Define reagent
Identify reagents to be used for the analysis
Reagents can be created from the following lists:
Catalogue, see "Catalogue list", page 62.
Other, see "Others list", page 139.
Copy from, see "Copy reagent", page 74.
If a sample changer is to be used, define the sample changer in the Configuration menu before
selecting a SAC sequence.
Page 14

ION570 Reference Manual
3. Create new method or Edit a pre-programmed one
Create the method to be used for the analyses. Enter the parameters required to calculate the
results, see "Programming methods", page 27.
When you have finished programming, select the method/sequence or pre-programmed
application, see "Select method", page 175 or see "Select sequence", page 176.
If your methods are to be performed in a sequence, program the sample stack, see "Sample
stack", page 174.
4. Check icons
The following icons indicate the exact state of your working system:
Sunny icon:
Everything is OK. Run the method or sequence.
Cloudy icon:
Action required within 12 or 24 hours (for a calibration) and 1 week (for
a reagent replacement).
Stormy icon:
Electrode calibration date elapsed or electrode(s)/reagent(s) not
installed.
Question mark:
Programming error.
Refer to "Electrode icons", page 104.
Refer to "Reagent icons", page 153.
Sunny icons are needed in order to run the selected method.
If Cloudy/Stormy/Question mark icons are displayed in the Reagent/Electrode window
press 1 to activate the “Check” command. The ION570 will automatically guide you
through the operations required to solve the errors encountered.
B.Running methods
To run a method or sequence, see "Working in Routine mode", page 16.
Page 15
MeterLab
®
ION570 Reference Manual
Working in Routine mode
A.Access methods
A Routine operator has access to all the methods “Select method” and programmed
parameters “Display method” for checking purposes
B.Running methods
When working in “ROUTINE” mode, it is necessary to install your measurement system
according to the selected method or sequence, prior to running a method or sequence.
1. Select the method or sequence
Refer to "Select method", page 175.
Refer to "Select sequence", page 176.
2. Check icons
Refer to "Check icons", page 15.
Depending on the icons displayed, the ION570 will automatically guide you through the steps
necessary to run the analysis, see below:
a. Connect the electrode(s)
Connect/install electrodes and temperature sensors, Refer to "Electrode connection",
page 102.
b. Install regents(s)
Check that the burette is installed, if not, see "Install burette", page 119.Now,install
the reagent, see "Install reagent", page 120.
c. Calibrate electrode(s)
Now, run the calibration.
Refer to "Calibrate pH electrodes", page 55.
Refer to "Calibrate ISE electrodes", page 55.
Refer to "Calibrate conductivity cells", page 55.
d. Enter reagent titre (only for an ISE standard addition method)
Now, enter the reagent titre.
Refer to "Enter titre", page 108.
e. Run the method or the sequence
Refer to "Running a method/sequence", page 170.

during method edition. This method requires 1 to 9 calibration beakers.
Calibration = Automatic
1 to 4-point calibration method where the standards are automatically prepared by the Ion Analyser
using an automatic addition method. The standard concentrations and an intial volume of standard
are entered during method edition. This simple to use method requires only one calibration beaker.

Calibration request = Free
Use the Free calibration mode when you use a standard that does not belong to the Catalogue list
and you know the conductance of this standard at a given temperature. During a Free calibration run
and after stabilisation of the measurement, you will adjust the cell constant in order to display the
correct conductance value.
Calibration request = Fixed
With the Fixed mode when you use a standard that belongs to the Catalogue list, the cell constant is
determined as the ratio of the conductivity (known by the instrument) divided by the measured
conductance.
