1 Properties of the TitroLine KF Titrator
1.1 General
Note on disclaimer of liability
The measurement or analysis results depend on a multitude of factors. So please verify the plausibilty of
the measurement or analysis results on a regular basis, accompanied by appropriate reliability tests. In
this regard, please adhere to the usual validation methods.
The TitroLine KF Titrator is a very compact, integral volumetric titrator for the determination of the water
contents according to Karl Fischer.
The accurately working dosing system meets the most important prerequisite for correct titration. In addi-
tion to the high-precision glass cylinder made of DURANborosilicate-glass, the play-free motor spindle
ensures exact titration results.
The very simple operator prompting allows you uncomplicated working. The display will ask you to select
the respective function or to set the corresponding parameters. Even during the execution of a function
the display of the titrator will keep you at any time informed about its present status.
The methods for sample titration, the titer and blank-value determination are pre-parameterised, so that
titration can begin immediately upon the set-up. The installed titration algorithm adapts automatically to
the water contents of the sample. As a rule, only few samples require any modification in of the titration
parameters.
Since almost all parts are pre-mounted, the measurement rig can be set up easily in less than 10 minutes.
Using the starter kit coming with the system, you may start to work immediately - as a rule with a titer de-
termination.
A connected TZ 2825 PC mini keyboard facilitates the input of the weighed-in sample quantity and of an
alphanumeric sample designation.
1.2 Titration solutions
Solutions to be used:
Any modern Karl-Fischer reagents known so far can be used.
General rules:
The respectively applicable safety guidelines on handling chemicals are to be observed under all circum-
stances. This applies in particular to inflammable and/or etching liquids.

DIN EN 61 010, Part 1, Protective Measures for Electronic Measurement Devices and has left the factory
in an impeccable condition as concerns safety technology. In order to maintain this condition and to en-
sure safe operation, the user should observe the notes and warning information contained in the present
operating instructions. Development and production is done within a system which meets the require-
ments laid down in the DIN EN ISO 9001 standard.
For reasons of safety, the TitroLine KF Titrator must be opened by authorised persons only; this means,
for instance, that work on electrical equipment must only be performed by qualified specialists.
!In the case of nonobservance of these provisions the TitroLine KF Titrator may constitute a
danger: electrical accidents of persons or fire hazard. Moreover, in the case of unauthorised inter-
vention in the TitroLine KF Titrator as well as in the case of negligently or deliberately caused
damage, the warranty will become void. !
Prior to switching the device on it has to be ensured that the operating voltage of the TitroLine KF Titrator
matches the mains voltage. The operating voltage is indicated on the specification plate. Nonobservance
of this provision may result in damage to the TitroLine KF Titrator or in personal injury or damage to
property.
Prior to switching the device on it has to be ensured that the operating voltage of TitroLine KF Titrator
matches the mains voltage. The operating voltage is indicated on the specification plate. Nonobservance
of this provision may result in damage to the TitroLine KF Titrator or in personal injury or damage to
property.
Examples for the assumption that a safe operation is no longer possible
the package is damaged,
the TitroLine KF Titrator shows visible damages,
the TitroLine KF Titrator does not function properly,
liquid has penetrated into the casing,
 the TitroLine KF Titrator was subjected to technical modifications or to interventions in the form
of attempted repair work by unauthorised personnel.
In the case of deviations from the intended proper use of the device, it is up to the user to evaluate the
occurring risks.
The TitroLine KF Titrator must not be stored or operated in humid rooms.
For reasons of safety, the TitroLine KF Titrator must only be used for the range of application described in
the present operating instructions.
In the case of deviations from the intended proper use of the device, it is up to the user to evaluate the
occurring risks.
!The relevant regulations regarding the handling of the substances used have to be observed:
The Decree on Hazardous Matters, the Chemicals Act, and the rules and information of the chemicals
trade. It has to be ensured on the side of the user that the persons entrusted with the use of the
TitroLine KF Titrator are experts in the handling of substances used in the environment and in the
TitroLine KF Titrator, or that they are supervised by specialised persons, respectively.
During all work with titration solutions: !Please wear protective glasses! !
When the piston moves upwards within the cylinder, owing to the design of the system, a microfilm of dos-
ing liquid or titration solution will always remain adhered to the inner wall of the cylinder, but this has no
influence on the dosing accuracy. This small residue of liquid, however, may evaporate and thus pene-
trate into the zone underneath the piston, and if inadmitted liquids are being used, the materials of the
TitroLine KF Titrator may be dissolved or corroded (please refer also to "Maintenance and Care").
The TitroLine KF Titrator is equipped with integrated circuits (EPROMs). X rays or other high-energy
radiation may penetrate through the device’s casing and delete the program.

3 Setting up and commissioning
3.1 Unpacking and setting up of the TitroLine KF Titrator
All the components of the TitroLine KF Titrator are contained within one single packing and arranged in
such a manner that they can be taken out very easily.
Please note that also all the small accessories are taken out of the packing. For the scope of delivery,
please refer to the packing list.
First, take TitroLine KF basic device out of the packing.
Set up the TitroLine KF Titrator at any flat surface, and connect the mains plug to the mains socket. Prior
to plugging in the mains plug it has to be ensured that the operating voltage of the TitroLine KF Titrator
matches that of the the mains voltage. The operating voltage is indicated on the specification plate on the
bottom of the TitroLine KF Titrator.
!The TitroLine KF Titrator is not suitable for use
in explosive-hazardous environments. !
3.2 Installation of the TM KF Titration Stand and of the titration vessel
As a rule, you will place the titration rig directly to the right of the TitroLine KF Titrator.
Seen from the front:
 Connect the right hose olive located at the back panel of the titration rig and the hose olive on the
desiccation bottle (figure 2, item 9) using one of the short PVC hoses (figure 2, item 10 and item 3).
 Connect the other hose olive of the desiccation bottle to the hose olive of one of the square bottles
(solvent bottle) using the other short PVC hose (refer to figure 2, item 2).
 Connect the left hose olive at the backside of the titration rig and the hose olive on the waste bottle
using the longer PVC hose (figure 2, item 10 and 6).
 Insert the stand rod (figure 2, item 4) into the corresponding holder on the titration rig, then tighten it
manually.
 Use the knurled screw to fasten the titration vessel to the stand rod in such a manner that the bottom
of the titration vessel sits directly on the upper surface of the titration rig.
 Adjust the dosing and waste hoses as is shown in figure 2. This applies to the titration vessel, the
storage bottle, and the waste bottle. Subsequently, tighten the screwed connections with the hoses on
the titration vessel and on the bottles.
 *)Fill the desiccation bottle (figure 2, item 9) up to two thirds with the enclosed 0.3 nm molecular
sieve.
 Also, fill some molecular sieve into the desiccation pipe for the titration vessels. First, you should put
some of the enclosed cotton into the desiccation pipe, so no molecular sieve will fall into the titration
vessel.
 Fill the solvent into the 1 l solvent bottle. Instead of the square laboratory bottles coming with the de-
vice, it is also possible to use other reagents bottles with a GL 45 or S 40 (TZ 1795 adapter) thread.
 If you wish to inject liquids through a septum, unscrew the large screwed connector, and then put one
of the enclosed septums into the opening. You can remove the black O-ring before. Subsequently,
tighten the screw connector manually.
 Screw the titration hose onto the valve of the titrator.
All the other hose connectors as well as the threaded connections of the TZ 1770 or TZ 1772 titration
vessel are already pre-mounted.

Power supply of the TM KF Titration Stand
The power supply to the titration rig comes from the titrator. Connect the titration stand to the titrator using
the enclosed low-voltage cable (please refer to figure 2, item 11 and figure 4, 12 V DC).
Working with the titration stand
•Dosing: Press the front part of the key rocker to pump solvent into the titration vessel. Additive dosing
will continue as long as you press the key.
•Dosing: Press the front part of the key rocker to pump solvent into the titration vessel. Additive dosing
will continue as long as you press the key.
Note: Please observe the filling level of the waste bottle. Prior to extracting the finish-titrated solution,
please ensure that the waste bottle can accommodate at least this quantity of solution.
The built-in magnetic stirrer (stirrer for magnetic stirrer rod) will stir the liquids in the titration vessel. Use
the turning knob on the front panel of the titration stand to set the stirring speed (figure 3).

Dosing Extraction
Stirring speed
Malfunction
Problems might occur if the hoses were connected improperly, or if the pressure or vacuum systems
should contain a leaking screw connection. This will lead to a cessation of the solvent discharge after only
a few seconds after the start of the pump. So when checking the hoses, please pay particular attention to
the tightness between the flanged connections and their adapters. The same applies to the hose connec-
tions of the receiver drier or the interchangeable desiccating tube unit.
Note: Wrinkled hoses will cause dosing and extraction problems. The tightness of the hoses including
their connections should be checked on a regular basis. Replace defective items if necessary.
If solvent should coast out of the storage bottle during additive dosing, please place the bottle on a level
below that of the titration vessel. Likewise, if solvent should coast out of the storage bottle during the
change from dosing to extraction, you should wait for a few seconds during the change.

4.1 Keys and contrast
You can adjust the contrast of the display text using the knurled wheel on the right side of the titrator.
The TitroLine KF Titrator can be operated using the keypad on the front panel of the device or a con-
nected PC mini keyboard.

The device can be fully controlled using the keyboard on
the TitroLine KF Titrator (figure 6). However, for the
input of sample designations, and more especially for the
input of weighing data, it is recommended to use the exter-
nal PC mini keyboard (figure 7).
The keyboard on the device consists of six keys. The dis-
play on the TitroLine KF Titrator will show in each situation
which key on the device itself or on the PC mini keyboard
has to be depressed.

After switching the TitroLine KF Titrator on, the switch-on
image (figure 8) will show the name of the device and
the software version. The switch-on image will be displayed
for 15 s and then change automatically to the main menu
(figure 9). The method last used will appear on the dis-
play.
From the main menu, use <Start> to start the current
method. By selecting <F2> or <Edit Param.>, respectively,
you will be taken to the parameter settings of the current
method. <Mode> will take you to the method selection
menu (figure 10).
Using the ↑and ↓keys, you select the desired method for
the titer, blank value, or sample titration and confirm the se-
lection using <F1> or the <ENTER> key. <F4> or <ESC>
will take you back to the main menu.
Multiple depression of the arrow keys will take you to other
selection options (figure 11).
Here you can also select the Rinsing rinsing program (ini-
tial filling) and the system settings.
The system settings include, for instance, also the setting
of the national languages (chapter 4.3).
4.3 Selection of the national language
The TitroLine KF Titrator is ex-works set to English as national language. In order to select a different
language (Deutsch, French or Spanish), use <Mode> or <F4> on the main menu (figure 9) to get to
the method selection menu (figure 10/11) and from there to the system settings (figure 12).
