Introduction

Overview of the instrument

We thank you for your continued patronage of KEM products. The AT-710 Automatic
Potentiometric Titrator you have purchased is the latest titration system to determine
concentration of target substance in liquids or solids, operated easily and resulting quickly
with high precision and accuracy. By changing the electrode and preamplifier, those
titrations like acid base, redox and photometric can be equally performed as well.

[Features]
1) Compact design
Burette drive unit is designed more compact than before and can be installed in A4 size.
2) Highly accurate burette
A highly accurate burette of burette resolution 1/20,000 is installed. The piston head is
improved, so the design becomes that air-bubble is not produced so much.
3) USB flash drive is designed at external control
The measurement result and the method are stored in USB flash drive, and data can be
managed as an electron record. Moreover, the measurement result can be stored as PDF
file, and the convenience of data has been improved. A keyboard for the input of number,
a barcode reader for the sample setting and a foot switch that can start to measure
without touching a device are installed as option. The working efficiency of measurement
improved for customer's usage.
4) Method making software is equipped as standard
Method can be made on PC and can be transferred to the memory of main unit by copying
equipped Software to CD-ROM with USB.
5) Burette can be selected 1 unit and 2 unit type.
AT-710 is installed 1 burette, and in addition, can be installed one more burette. 2
burettes can be used without increasing space.
6) For several languages
Chinese (Chinese classics), Korean, Russian and Spanish are installed besides English and
Japanese.
7) GLP/GMP conformed
Operator names can be registered. And check results with standard substances and
calibration results of electrodes can be recorded.
8) Sample changer (CHA-700)(option) can be connected
Sample changer of compact 6 samples or 11 samples can be connected, and can be used
for multiple sample measurement. It can be connected electrode cleaning as option and a
beaker after measurement can be used.
9) Can be upgraded to high-end model.
Measurement by moisture titrator and potentiometric titrator can simultaneously be
performed by connecting with the MCU-710.
10) Smart electrode (CHA-700)(option) can be connected
You can use the smart electrode on which electrode information or calibration information
can be recorded. An electrode error can be handled or an expiration date of the electrode
can be monitored.
11) SOFT-CAP(option)
Data of Excel and CSV format can be edited directly by SOFT-CAP with PC.

Shall explain a procedure to calibrate channel 3 of the preamplifier.

4-1-1.Preamplifier for photometric titration (PTA)


Photometric titration
This method detects endpoint by color tone or color depth of titrated solution.
However, if the sample is turbid, it may not detect correct endpoint. Photometric
titration is widely used in chelatometric titration with indicators.
It is recommended to have a full understanding of the characteristics of the reacting
metals the selection of metal indicators, titration conditions such as pH, titration
procedures and others.
The week point of this method is the difficulty of receiving optical signal correctly is
the Sample is turbid.
In this case, remove the turbid substance in the sample by filtering.

○Metal Indicator
Chelatometric titration on the photometric titration detects endpoint by the change of
color with the indicator. This indicator is called a metal indicator since it changes its
color responding to metal ions.

○Buffer solution in chelatometric titration


In chelatometric titration, buffer solution must be added in order to control the pH of
titrated solution depending on the sorts of reacting metals.

4-1-2.Preamplifier for polarization titration (POT)


Polarization titration
There are two methods in polarization titration; one is called, “Amperometric titration
method at constant voltage”, which determines endpoint by measuring the current
change in applying very low voltage between the two electrodes after submerging the
twin platinum electrodes into the titration solution, and another method is called,
“Potentiometric titration method at constant current”, which determines endpoint by
measuring the potential between the two electrodes in applying constant current of
very low ampere.

These methods feature distinctive change in potential or current because the


phenomena, polarization converting to depolarization or vice versa, are observed at the
end point.

6-2. Other Maintenance


6-2-1.Storage of the instrument
Store the instrument, if it is not going to be operated for a long period of time in a place
where there is no direct sunlight or under no vibration, and the place is dry, not humid.
It is recommended to pack it in the carton box in which the instrument was first
delivered.
Keep the rinsed electrodes detached from the titrator.

6-2-2.Cleaning the electrode


Glass electrode and reference electrode have to be rinsed with pure water at least three
times and then wiped with clean filter paper or absorbent cotton. If it is stained, rinse
with 0.1mol/L-hydrochloric acid, detergent water or other solvent in a short time, and
then rinse well with pure water. In case an electrode is not in use for a long period, dip
it in pure water and only use it when it reaches equilibrium. If any foreign article exists
in junction of a reference electrode, it may cause abnormal potential reading. In this
case clean the junction part with pure water. If you use an electrode of other makes
than KEM, refer to the manual of its manufacturer.
After the electrode is rinsed, clean its tip with pure water and ten wipe it with clean filter
paper or absorbent cotton. Connect the glass electrode, reference electrode and
temperature compensation electrode to the preamplifier, and dip the electrode in pH7
standard solution. Slowly move a beaker with standard solution in it so that equilibrium
can be reached faster.
