Introduction
1.Introduction
The DL15 Titrator is the ideal solution for all requirements in the food industry, water/ wastewater analysis, and the chemical industry when all that is needed is an endpoint titration or a pH measurement. The DL15 is mainly used to determine the acid and base content of a sample.
It features easy-to-understand intuitive user guidance so that, for example, pressing the Run button twice starts the method you last ran.
The user can assign three other methods to individual function keys, making methods easy to find and start.
The keys used for the most frequently used manual functions are identified by pictograms. Titrants and sensors can be selected from the instrument’s database.
Alphanumeric input is easily entered by means of a special keypad, just like with a mobile phone. There is no need to connect an external keyboard.
The DL15 calculates the analytical results in predefined units and sends an analysis report to commercially available printers.

4.3The operating concept
The operating console of the titrator consists of the display in the middle with several groups of keys arranged around it. The various functional areas are described in the following sections.

The titrator
4.3.1The display
The display consists of four different elements. The title line across the top shows the name of the menu (B) and submenu (A) that you are currently using, or the name of the screen.
On the right-hand side of the screen there is a scroll bar (D). This has a small black bar that represents the portion of the menu shown on the display. You can move the visible part of the menu upward or downward through the display area using the arrow keys. The black-inverted line (C) always displays the current selection.
The three black-inverted boxes (E) across the bottom line of the display show the functions to which the function keys directly below (F1, F2 and F3) are assigned for the menu item selected.
4.3.2The arrow keys
The arrow keys are located on the right of the display.
You can use these to move the black scroll bar up or down within a menu to select a menu item. If you simultaneously press an arrow key and the Shift key (arrow pointing upward), the scroll bar is shifted upward (or downward) three lines.
4.3.3The function keys
|
The function keys are located directly below the display. Their assignment depends on the |
|||
|
particular menu item selected and is shown by the three black-inverted boxes across the |
|||
|
bottom line of the display, for example, Print for the command to print, or OK to confirm |
|||
|
a selection or a change. |

4.3.5The menu keys
Using the menu keys, you can call up the four main menus of the titrator.
Each of these three menus has a particular assignment for performing an automatic analysis.
The Setup key opens the Setup menu of the titrator. All the resources such as titrants, sensors, standards and blank values necessary for the titration are stored and managed in this menu. In addition, you can select the internal titrator settings you require and configure peripheral devices.
|
The Method key opens the Method menu of the titrator. The methods stored in the titrator |
||
|
are managed in this menu. You can store your own methods, delete and modify them. A |
||
|
number of methods developed by METTLER TOLEDO are already stored and can be directly |
||
|
used to perform analyses or be used as templates for new methods. |
||
|
The resources you want to use for a method must be defined and stored beforehand in |
||
|
the Setup menu. |
The Run key opens the Start menu to perform an analysis. Methods used for different
determinations can be selected and started.
The Series key opens the start menu to perform a sample series analysis. Methods used for different determinations can be selected and started
An automation of the series determination can be achived by using a Rondolino sample changer.

The titrator
4.3.6The Help function keys
The Help function keys let you access functions that are not directly involved in performing a sample analysis, but nevertheless in some way support it (hence the name Help functions).
Examples of such functions are the rinsing of burettes, the calibration or testing of a sensor or the display and management of analytical results.
This menu lets you measure the pH, potential or temperature of a solution and test and calibrate pH and ISE sensors.
The burette and the burette tip can be rinsed, and any volume you like dispensed. You can perform a manual titration.
The variable speed stirrer can be switched on and off.
You can view the titrator information and open a menu to test the titrator hardware and the connected devices.
You can view, print and manage the results of your analyses including statistical evaluations.
In the Report menu you can define and print additional reports.

All titrants contain the following parameters:

|
Setup |
|
|
Name |
The name of the titrant. |
|
Conc. [mol/L] |
The concentration of the titrant in [mol/L]. |
|
Titer |
The titer can be automatically determined using a titer determi- |
|
nation, or manually entered. If the titer is determined through a |
|
|
titer determination, the current date and time are stored. |
|
|
Minimum |
The «Minimum» parameter lets you define the lower limit for the |
|
range within which the titer must be. |
|
|
Maximum |
The «Maximum» parameter lets you define the upper limit for the |
|
range within which the titer must be. |
|
|
Titer |
This parameter indicates whether the titer determination was |
|
automatically determined («Determined») or manually entered |
|
|
(«Edited»). |
|
|
Standard |
Here you can select one of the standards defined in the titrator |
|
to determine the titer of your titrant. |
|
|
Burette |
Using this parameter you can define the burette volume. Pos- |
|
sible values are 1, 5, 10 and 20 mL. |
|
|
Charge |
With this parameter you can record information about the batch |
|
from which the titrant originates. |
|
|
Fill rate [%] |
The «Fill rate» indicates how quickly the burette is filled with |
|
titrant. Filling the burette at the highest rate corresponds to a fill |
|
|
rate of 100%, and at the lowest rate to a fill rate of 30%. The |
|
|
preset value is 100% |
|
|
Check after [day] |
This value is used to calculate the expiration date for the titrant. |
|
A period of 0 to 100 days can be defined. If the parameter has |
|
|
the value 0, no expiration date is determined. |
|
|
Expiry |
If the value 0 is entered for the «Check after» parameter, no |
|
expiration date is calculated. |
|
|
Date |
The date of the last titer determination. Each time you store the |
|
titrant, the date is set to 00-00-0000. |
|
|
Time |
The time of the last titer determination. Each time you store the |
|
titrant, the time is set to 00:00. |

Setup
•If you change the name of a titrant and save your changes, a new titrant is created under the new name.
•If the value for the titer determined by a titer determination or the manually entered value is outside the range defined by «Minimum» and «Maximum», an error message appears and the titer must either be determined or entered again.
•When you use a titrant of higher viscosity, it is advisable to reduce the fill rate in order to prevent air being sucked-in when filling the burette.
•If, at the start of an analysis, the titant has expired (the expiration date has been exceeded), a message appears to draw your attention to this. If you still want to perform the determination, you must confirm the message. In the report, a corresponding line appears that notes that the titrant has expired.

5.2.5Titer determination from the titrant setup
The accuracy of the results of your analysis depends on the accuracy with which you determine the concentration of your titrant.
When you prepare a titrant, a number of errors can occur that cause the actual concentra-
tion (Cactual) to deviate from the desired concentration (Cnom) of your titrant.
The quotient of the actual concentration of the titrant and its desired concentration is called the titer of the titrant:
t = cactual cnom
In the ideal case, Cactual = Cnom and the titer, t, is 1.
If the concentration of the titrant is too high, t is > 1.
If the concentration of the titrant is too low, t is <1.
The titer enables the titrator to calculate the results of your analyses corresponding to the actual concentration of the titrant used. It is therefore essential for you to accurately determine the actual concentration of the titrant against a reference substance before you first use it.
The titrator can store the corresponding titer as a parameter for every titrant defined in the titrator. As long as the titer for a titrant has not been determined, the default value 1 is used.
You can determine the titer yourself, enter the value for the titrant manually in the Setup menu, or to determine it through automatic titer determination with the titrator.
Before doing this, you should make sure that a suitable standard is already stored in the titrator for the primary standard you want to use. If this is not the case, you must first define a new standard in the instrument. See «5.5.1 Adding a standard».

5.3.5Sensor calibration from the sensor setup menu
Zero point and slope
The calibration parameters of a pH electrode are the zero point pH0 (pH at a potential of 0 mV) and the slope.
The theoretical values of a pH electrode are stored in the titrator:
•Zero point = 7.0 [pH] and
•Slope = -59.16 [mV/pH].
The pH calculation is performed according to the following equation:
pH=pH0+ mV signal slope
The slope is corrected for temperature in the calculation of the pH.
The sensor should be calibrated in order to obtain correct values for your electrode. The theoretical values are then automatically overwritten with the calculated calibration data during the calibration.
If you only calibrate your electrode with one buffer solution, only the electrode zero point is recalculated. (Not possible with the titrator.)

Power ManagementThe devices have a power management system which prevents the titrator from switching off unexpectedlyin the event of a power overload. Tasks which would cause a power overload, because a number of pumps,stirrers and burette drives are already in use, cannot be started at all. A notification brings the start attempt tothe attention of the user. It is advisable, if possible, to connect pumps and stirrers directly to samplechangers or other devices which have their own power supply, such as a TBox, instead of to the titratoritself.
