Setup and Installation

Before operating the HI 901-01Z, ensure all components are properly connected and the unit is placed on a stable, level surface.

Component Assembly:

Connect the burette driver assembly to the main unit.
Install the 25 mL glass burette into the driver assembly. The innovative Clip Lock™ system facilitates quick and secure burette changes.
Attach the necessary tubing for reagent delivery and waste.
Connect the appropriate pH or ORP electrodes to the designated ports on the titrator.

Power Connection:

Ensure the unit is connected to a 115V AC power supply.
Upon powering on, the instrument will initiate an internal diagnostics check to verify system integrity.

Peripheral Connections:

For enhanced functionality, connect a PC, monitor, keyboard, and printer to create a complete workstation. The titrator is equipped with an RS485 serial port for data transfer.

Operating Instructions

The HI 901-01Z is designed for intuitive operation, supporting up to 10,000 standard or user-defined methods.

Initial Setup and Method Selection:

After the power-on diagnostic check, the instrument will be ready for the first titration.
Use the large LCD screen to select the desired titration method. The screen displays chosen methods, correlated information, and adjustable parameters.

Performing a Titration:

Place the sample in a suitable beaker under the burette.
Initiate the titration process according to the selected method.
Observe the real-time titration curve displayed on the LCD screen. This feature is particularly useful for method optimization and testing.
The titrator can drive two pumps separately for complex applications.

Data Management:

Upon completion of a titration, all data, including the titration graph, are automatically stored in the instrument's memory.
Data can be copied to disk via the built-in floppy drive or transferred to a PC using the supplied serial cable (RS485 interface).
The unit complies with GLP specifications, allowing storage of GLP information for each sample, including ID number, date and time of analysis, electrode ID code, and last calibration date.
Up to 100 analysis reports, complete with titration curve graphing, can be stored.

System Settings:

Access the set-up menu to adjust various features such as language, display brightness, resolution, pH electrode calibration settings, date, and hour.
The instrument's status, including date, hour, temperature (if probe connected), and warning messages (e.g., pH electrode calibration), are clearly displayed.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your HI 901-01Z titrator.

Burette Maintenance:

Burette maintenance is automated and simple. Users can select to purge or wash the burette and specify the number of washings.
The Clip Lock™ system allows for rapid burette replacement, simplifying the process of switching between different titrants. The HI 901 automatically recognizes the volume of the newly installed burette.

System Diagnostics:

The titrator includes self-diagnostic features for peripheral devices such as the pump, valve, burette, and stirrer, aiding in proactive maintenance.

Cleaning:

Keep the exterior of the instrument clean using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Ensure all connections are free from dust and chemical residues.

Troubleshooting

This section provides guidance for common issues encountered during operation.

Common Issues and Solutions:

Instrument Not Powering On: Verify the power cable is securely connected to a 115V AC outlet. Check the power switch.
Burette Dosing Inaccuracy: Perform burette maintenance (purge/wash) to ensure no air bubbles or blockages. Verify the burette is correctly installed and recognized by the system.
Electrode Calibration Issues: If a calibration "time-out" is set, the system will advise when the pH electrode needs calibration. Perform a new calibration as instructed. Ensure the electrode is clean and properly connected.
Data Transfer Problems: Check the RS485 serial cable connection to the PC. Ensure the floppy disk is correctly inserted and formatted if using the built-in drive.
Peripheral Device Malfunctions: Utilize the self-diagnostic features for the pump, valve, burette, and stirrer to identify specific issues. Refer to the detailed error messages on the LCD screen.

For persistent issues not resolved by these steps, please contact Hanna Instruments customer support.
