1.1 Overview

Metrohm 7778/789 Sample Processor,Introduction 1

1 Introduction

This tutorial describes initial steps when using a Sample Processor. It in-

troduces you to the most important operating controls and work steps

required for processing series of samples.

1.1 Overview

A brief overview is intended to familiarize you with the most important

features of a Sample Processor.

Please refer to the detailed Instructions for Use of the Sample Proces-

sor for the procedures for installing the individual components and ac-

cessories.

This will be followed by a brief overview of purpose and mode of opera-

tion of the most important components of the instrument.

1.1 Overview

1.1.1 Overall view

Figure 1 Overall view

1Tubing and electrode cables are laid in the guide chain.

2It is absolutely essential that the safety shield which also serves

as a splash protection is attached. This is the only way of elimi-

nating the risk of injury when operating the Sample Processor.

Safety shields are available in various designs.

3The sample rack is detachable. Sample racks with optimized ar-

rangement and various numbers of positions are available for an

extremely wide variety of vessel sizes. The various types of sample

racks are detected automatically by the Sample Processor when

you press the <RACK> key.

4Magnetic stirrers (model 741) or other accessories, such as stand

supports (6.2001.070), can be attached to the stirrer rail.

5A 786 Swing Head with a robotic arm can be mounted on any lift

in place of a titration head. This allows you to use even multi-row

sample racks and extends the scope of application of the Sample

Processor since a robotic arm also allows positions outside the

rack to be reached. Various robotic arms are available for various

applications.

6Electrodes, dosing tips, rod stirrers and other accessories can be

attached in the titration head.

1.1 Overview

Metrohm 7778/789 Sample Processor,Introduction 3

7 A Sample Processor is available as a single-tower or twin-tower

model, each with one lift per tower. Different working positions and

shifting positions etc. can be predefined for each lift, depending on

sample rack or vessel size. Depending on requirements, various ti-

tration heads can be mounted on the titration head holder. It is

also possible to install a Swing Head drive (Model 786) with robotic

arm on the lift, see 5.

8 The beaker sensor (infrared sensor) on the front side of the tower

is able to detect the presence of a sample vessel. This allows to

prevent "flooding" if a vessel is missing. If a 786 Swing Head is

used, a robotic arm with touch sensor is able to perform this task.

The behaviour of the Sample Processor if a vessel is missing can

be defined.

1.1.2 Sample racks

Various types of sample racks are available for the Sample Processor

Models 778 and 789.

• Sample racks with 42 cm diameter can be used for all Sample

Processor models. A 786 Swing Head with robotic arm is required

on the 789 Robotic Sample Processor XL.

• Sample racks with 48 cm diameter are suitable only for the 789 Ro-

botic Sample Processor XL with 786 Swing Head.

The various sample racks also differ in respect of the number, ar-

rangement and diameter of the sample positions on the rack. Please re-

fer to the Instructions for Use of your instrument for a list of available

standard sample racks.

Each rack features a type-specific

magnetic code allowing a Sample

Processor to automatically detect the

type of rack attached.

The adjacent drawing indicates how to

fit a sample rack onto the turntable.

Then press the <RACK> key on the

keypad to initialize the sample rack.

The instruments are able to detect the

magnetic code (the coding of the rack

type) in initial position.

1.2 Rear panel

The rear panel of the Sample Processor may have a differing arrangement,

depending on the model. The rear panel of the standard model 2.778.0010,

with one tower, a membrane pump and a connection for an external pump is

shown below.

9 If you wish to use the pump 1 for rinsing electrodes and tubing,

connect the tubing to the rinsing nozzles on the manifold.

10 The built-in pumps are membrane pumps. They are suitable for

rinsing with spray nozzles and for aspirate processed aqueous

sample solutions by suction. If you intend to use organic solvents or

1.3 Electrical connections

Metrohm 7778/789 Sample Processor,Introduction 5

aspirate aqueous samples with solid components (precipitations)

by suction, you must connect a peristaltic pump.

11 The electrical valve ensures that no fluid is able to drip when rinsing

or aspirating by suction.

12 A rod stirrer (e.g. model 802) or a magnetic stirrer (model 741) can

be connected to the stirrer connection.

13 All electrical connections are located on the rear panel of the

Sample Processor. They are protected against spilled fluid.

14 An additional pump (e.g. a peristaltic pump, model 772) can be

connected to the external pump connection.

15 If a Swing Head drive is connected to the corresponding connec-

tion socket, it is detected automatically by the Sample Processor.

1.3 Electrical connections

The electrical connections are the same on all models of the 778/789

Sample Processors.

16 The power switch ('Power') for switching the instrument on and

switching it off is located on the instrument rear panel, as are the

electrical connections, for reasons relating to safety.

17 Keyboard connection. Press the plug firmly together at the sides

in order to disconnect the cable.

18 Various Metrohm devices can be connected to the three MSB

sockets. The 801 Magnetic stirrer and the dosing drives 805 Dosi-

mat and 800 Dosino are best suited for this. If an 801 Magnetic stir-

rer is connected to an MSB socket, a dosing drive of one of the

types mentioned can also be attached to its MSB connector. This

means that only one MSB socket is used to control various periph-

eral devices (daisy chain).

1.4 Installing accessories

6 Metrohm 778/789 Sample Processor,Introduction

The 685 Dosimat and the 700 Dosino can also be connected to an

MSB socket but not with the combined configuration mentioned

above.

19 Metrohm titrators (e.g.: Titrinos) or other instruments which can be

controlled via remote signals can be connected to the remote in-

terface.

20 The serial RS232 port is used for data transmission if the Sample

Processor is controlled with the aid of a computer software for in-

stance.

21 Mains connection. The power supply to the Sample Processor is

best connected via the supplied mains cable which is connected to

a mains distributor.

1.4 Installing accessories

Install all the accessories required for your work on the Sample Proc-

essor. The Instructions for Use provide you with all information required

for this.

In order to perform the exercises in this brief introduction, you will re-

quire only the keypad and any sample rack with a few appropriate

sample vessels. If you have available a titrator from the Metrohm Titrino

series, please connect both units with the remote cable (6.6.2141.020).

Plug the cable into each Remote socket on the instrument's rear panel.

1.5 Installing a 786 Swing Head

If your system has a Swing Head drive with robotic arm, please install it

in accordance with the Instructions for Use of the 786 Swing Head

(Chapter 2 Installation) and connect the cable to the 'Swing Head'

socket on the rear panel of the Sample Processor's tower.

Please always comply with the following sequence:

1. Mount and connect the Swing Head drive with the instrument

switched off.

2. Switch on the instrument, press the <CONFIG> key and keep it

pressed. Then configure the robotic arm data.

3. Mount the robotic arm.
