Front view of instrument:
1 Exchange unit
Normally the models with automatic cock changeover.
Note:
Choose the volume of the exchange unit in such a way that a volume between
10...100% of the nominal volume is expelled.
2 Display
The 16 digit display shows all important information:
DOS 3.456 ml Mode (DOS = dosing) and dosed volume. Dosimat is in
stand-by position
DOS ↑ 3.456 ml The piston is moving upwards.
DOS ↓ 3.456 ml The piston is moving downwards.
DOS → 3.456 ml The cock is turned to the right.
DOS ← 3.456 ml The cock is turned to the left.
The display of the status ↑ resp.↓ are specially important for very slow dosings
where movements of the piston cannot be clearly identified.
3 Operating keys at the Dosimat

<FILL> Filling. This key is (with remote control off) always accessible
and serves also as emergency stop.
<CLEAR> Resetting of the volume display to 0 with Dosimat in stand-by

Overview
Rear view of instrument:
6 Data inputs and outputs

Via data transfer interface according to RS 232 C including optional analogue
output. For 25-pin D subminiature plug.
Important: Note plug positions, page 47!
Plug cables in and out only if the instruments are switched off.
7 Data inputs and outputs

Via data transfer interface according to RS 232 C. For 8-pin plug.
(For details see page 47)
Plug cables in and out only if the instruments are switched off.
8 Connection for keyboard

For details of operation with keyboard 6.2149.000 see page 4ff.
9 Power connection
In power supply systems, in which strong HF interferences (transients) are su-
perimposed on the power voltage, the 765 Dosimat should be connected via an
additional power line filter, e.g. METROHM 615 model.
The main cables supplied with the instrument are three-core and equipped with
a plug with an earthing pin. If a different plug has to be fitted, the yellow/green
lead must be connected to the protective earth. Each break in the earthing inside
or outside the instrument can make it a hazard.
When the instrument is opened or if parts of it are removed, certain components
may be live if the instrument is connected to the power line. The power cable
must therefore always be unplugged when certain adjustments are made or
parts replaced.
10 Power switch
Switching on and off Dosimat. The 765 Dosimat is equipped with a non-volatile
memory, i.e. set parameters remain in the working memory if the Dosimat is
switched off and on.
11 Earthing socket
The 765 Dosimat must be grounded correctly and effectively, if necessary
through the separate earthing socket.
12 Connection for stirrer

In general a Magnetic Stirrer (forms a complete titrating stand). Other stirrers
may be connected as well, e.g. a METROHM Rod Stirrer. Supply voltage output:
+9 V DC (I # 200 mA).
13 Connection for external dosing contact

E.g. 6.2107.000 push button cable.
14 Indication of power voltage

Make sure the current has been adapted correctly before Dosimat is switched
on.
15 Identification plate
Indication of model, series and serial number.

2.1 Keypad
Rules for data input:
• On entering a negative number, key in minus sign first; <-> is not a "change of sign"
key!
• Changeover between first functions (blank, factor etc.) and digits is done
automatically.
• Terminate parameter entries with <ENTER>.
• Some keys are organized as inquiry drums, i.e. pressing these keys several times, dis-
play shows new inquiries. A new value is stored or a new feature is selected with
<ENTER>. The program then returns to the initial state, the inquiry drum is left. Enter-
ing an inquiry drum, that inquiry, where the drum has been left last time, is displayed
first.
• The Dosimat works with a resolution of 10'000 pulses per burette cylinder volume.
Exchange unit Resolution of display Smallest increment

Volume/mL Rate mL/min V
1 mL .001 .001 0.1 µL
5 mL .001 .005 0.5 µL
10 mL .001 .010 1 µL
20 mL .002 .020 2 µL
50 mL .005 .050 5 µL
If a volume value is entered which can not be dosed exactly with the exchange unit on
the Dosimat, the value is rounded off to the next possible one and stored accordingly.
The smallest possible increments for 1 and 5 mL cylinders are not displayed. However,
they are dosed and the display is rounded.
• Key <CLEAR> sets parameters to "OFF".

2.2. Modes
2.1.1 Key <RATE>

The inquiries of this key are identical for all modes.
Expelling and filling rate

RATE This key is accessible live (except in mode DOS), i.e. rate can be
changed during a running function .
↑ ml/min Expelling rate

Range for digital setting depending on volume of exchange unit:
1 mL 0.001 3.00 mL/min
5 mL 0.005 15.0 mL/min
10 mL 0.010 30.0 mL/min
20 mL 0.020 60.0 mL/min
50 mL 0.050 150.0 mL/min
Key <CLEAR> sets "OFF", i.e.. the rate can be controlled
analogically by means of potentiometer at the Dosimat 765.
If the preset rate is too high to be dosed with the exchange unit
presently mounted, the rate is set automatically to its maximum.
↓ ml/min Filling or aspirating rate

The data input rules are the same as for the expelling rate.
The filling rate is set to maximum on changing the exchange unit (e.g.
always after no exch. unit! is displayed!).

Result calculation
If one of the calculation values (blank, factor, smpl) is not set to its standard value, a
result is calculated on filling of the Dosimat according to formula:
(dosed volume–blank)*factor
Result = ————————————————
smpl
The result is recalculated on each entry of a calculation value (blank, factor, smpl).
Pressing <CLEAR> display shows the dosed volume in mL. To start a new dosing, press
<GO> twice, pressing once resets the volume in display to 0.000 mL.
Printing the result on a printer

If Dosimat is set to send RS 232 on (special settings see page 18), filling the Dosimat or
re-calculation triggers a print command. A continuous number (#), the dosed volume and
the calculated result are printed.
Do set new calculation parameters for the next dosing only after having pressed <GO>
once, i.e. if display shows DOS 0.000 ml.
The continuous number is set to zero on switching on the Dosimat and incremented by 1
on every filling command.
Example of print-out
#01 V = 0.352 ml R = 7.04 ppm

#02 V = 0.440 ml R = 8.8 ppm
#03 V = 0.000 ml
#04 V = 0.364 ml R = 7.28 ppm
#05 V = 0.438 ml R = 8.76 ppm
#06 V = 0.382 ml R = 7.64 ppm
#07 V = 0.370 ml R = 19.61 %
#08 V = 0.372 ml R = 19.72 %

2.2.4 Mode PIP, Pipetting

Aspirating and subsequent expelling of a stored pipetting volume.
VOLUME V-PIP 0.1 ml Pipetting volume

Input range depends on the volume of the exchange unit:
1 mL 0.001... 0.900 mL
5 mL 0.001... 4.900 mL
10 mL 0.001... 9.800 mL
20 mL 0.002... 19.700 mL
50 mL 0.005... 49.500 mL
Note: The liquid of the exchange unit is mixed with the
pipetted liquid if it is aspirated into the burette cylinder!
The aspiration tube must contain V-PIP!
RATE Expelling and filling rate see page 6.
If mode PIP is loaded, the display shows PIP * 0.000 ml.

The sign * in the display means that mode "PIP" is not yet ready to be used. With a first
<GO>, a preparation step is carried out which is marked in the display with
PIP prep. . This preparation step includes the formation of an air bubble which
serves to separate the transfer solution of the exchange unit from the sample.
Then display shows PIP 1 0.100 ml, i.e. the Dosimat is ready to aspirate the pipetting
volume (0.1 mL). With <GO> the pipetting volume is aspirated and display shows
PIP 2 0.100 ml which means that the Dosimat is ready to expel the pipetting volume.
With the next <GO>, the volume is expelled and the Dosimat is then ready to aspirate
the next pipetting volume without any preparation step.
If the pipetting volume is changed, a new preparation step is always carried out.

2.2 Modes
• A new air bubble is built with every preparation step ("prep.") e.g. its volume increases.
If you wish to keep the volume of the air bubble expel it in mode DOS before changing
V-PIP.
• For best pipetting results we recommend exchange units with volumes ≤ 20 mL and
pipetting equipment 6.5611.000.
• The aspirating and expelling rates should not be higher than 20 mL/min.
• Hold tubing tip in an angle of app. 45° to the vessel wall during pipetting. Just the
same as you do with glass pipettes!
• The vessel, containing the liquid you want to pipette should stand on the same level as
the vessel into which you are going to expel the liquid in order to ascertain app. the
same level of the pipetting tubing during work.
2.2.5 Mode DIL, Diluting

Aspirating a stored pipetting volume and subsequent expelling of the pipetting and dilut-
ing volume.
VOLUME V-PIP 0.1 ml Pipetting volume

Input range depends on the volume of the exchange unit:
1 mL 0.001... 0.900 mL
5 mL 0.001... 4.900 mL
10 mL 0.001... 9.800 mL
20 mL 0.002... 19.700 mL
50 mL 0.005... 49.500 mL
V-DIL 1. ml Diluting volume

Input range: 0.001...999.999 mL
Note: The diluting liquid is unintentionally mixed with the

pipetted liquid if it is aspirated into the burette cylinder!
The aspiration tube must contain V-PIP!
If mode DIL is loaded, the display shows DIL * 0.000 ml.

The sign * in the display tells you that mode DIL is not ready to be used. With <GO> a
preparation step is carried out during which V-PIP is expelled into the bottle of the
exchange unit and an air bubble is built to separate the solution of the exchange unit from
the sample.
Then the Dosimat is ready to aspirate the pipetting volume (0.1 mL) which is displayed by
DIL 1 0.100 ml and carried out after pressing <GO>.
Then DIL 2 1.100 ml is displayed which means that the Dosimat is ready to expel the
pipetting and the diluting volume (0.1 mL + 1 mL = 1.1 mL). This is executed after
<GO>. The preparation step is now carried out automatically and the Dosimat is ready to
aspirate the next pipetting volume.

Notes
• If you wish to change V-PIP, it is best to change it during filling in the preparation step,
i.e. when display shows DIL ↓ prep..
• If V-PIP is changed at another time, a new preparation step is carried out, which
changes the volume of the air bubble. The first dilution after such a change could be
erroneous and should be discarded. Another possibility is to expel the air bubble in
mode DOS and to start Mode DIL from the beginning. V-DIL can be changed at any
time without a new preparation step.
2.2.6 Mode CNT D, Content Dispenser

Mode CNT D is used to prepare solutions with a particular content. Doing this, the sub-
stance must not be weighed-out to a particular value in order to obtain the preselected
content but the 765 Dosimat dispenses the amount of solvent calculated correspond-
ingly.

Application of factor f
Factor f for ionic standards

With ionic standards, the mass fraction of a single ion A is usually specified. On the other
hand, the solution is prepared from AnBm, e.g. a standard of 10 ppm Pb2+ prepared from
Pb(NO3)2. The factor f is calculated from the formula:
n*M(A) m*M(B)
f = ———— or f = ————
M(AnBm) M(AnBm)
M(A): molar mass of ion A

M(B): molar mass of ion B
M(AnBm): molar mass of substance AnBm

The factor f as correction for substances with admixtures

e.g. water of crystallization, impurities, moisture.
The factor f as correction for the volume contraction

For the amount-of-substance concentration c (units mol/L and mmol/L) and the mass
concentration ρ (units g/L and mg/L), the concentration is referred to the volume of the
solution.
ci = ni/V resp. ρi= mi/V
where ni amount of substance i

mi mass of substance i
V volume of the solution
765 Dosimat

2.2. Modes
Since the volume of the solvent V0 is dispensed in the operational method of the CNT D
mode, higher concentrations require a correction factor which takes the difference
between V0 and V (volume of the solution) into consideration:
V0
f = —–
V
This factor can be determined with the Dosimat in the DOS mode:
A solution of the desired concentration is prepared in the conventional manner in a
volumetric flask by dispensing the solvent with the aid of the Dosimat up to the mark of
the flask (V0). If the volume V of the volumetric flask is inputted in the calculation
parameter "s", the factor f is calculated directly by the Dosimat and appears on the
display.
The factor f determined in this manner holds for the appropriate substance/solvent pair in
the measured concentration range with the possibility of linear extrapolations up to
concentrations of ca. 1 mol/L.
Several correction factors are shown in the following table:
Concentration c 0.05 0.1 mol/L 1 mol/L

3.2 Diagnosis
3.2 Diagnosis
3.2.1 General
The 765 Dosimat is a very precise and dependable feeding instrument.
Thanks to its rugged construction, it is highly unlikely that external mechani-
cal or electrical influences will have any adverse effect on its functions.
Although a fault in the instrument can not be excluded with certainty, the
possibility is greater that malfunctions are caused by wrong operation or
handling, through improper connections and the operation with third-party
devices.
Whatever the case, it is always advisable to localise the fault with the diag-
nostic tests, which can be performed quickly and simply. The customer
need call Metrohm service only when the instrument really has a fault. Fur-
ther, he can use the results of the specific diagnostic function to provide the
service engineer with much more precise information.
In the case of inquiries, always quote the serial number on model plate
(see page 3), the program version (see page 18) and if applicable the error
message.
Procedure
The diagnostic menu listed in section 3.2.2 shows all components for which
detailed instructions (diagnostic steps) are available for checking the func-
tionality.
In the case of a possible malfunction, we advise you to perform either the
corresponding diagnostic step or all diagnostic steps as a routine check on
the instrument.
The reactions of the Dosimat to the instructions must be compared with the
descriptions in the diagnostic step. If the Dosimat do not show the ex-
pected reaction ("No" case), the appropriate diagnostic step must be re-
peated to exclude operating errors. However, it is highly probable that re-
peated wrong reactions indicate a malfunction.
Equipment required:
3.496.0070 Dummy-exchange unit (or exchange units if possible with different cylinder
volumes).
6.2107.000 Push-button cable or ordinary test lead with 4 mm banana plugs
6.2149.000 Keyboard
3.496.8360 Test plug

4.1 General
4 Operation via RS232 Interface
4.1 General
The Dosimat offers an extensive remote control. Data transmission occurs via an interface
according to RS 232 C in half duplex procedure.
The syntax of the commands is based on the following principles:

• Commands are strings which always begin with a letter.
• Only the first three letters are significant, string length is unlimited.
• Actual parameters have to be separated by a space from the preceding command.
• The input range for numbers is -1E33 ... -1E-37, 0, 1E-37 ... 1E33.
Examples of possible numbers: 3.567
-.5
5.E4
-123.45E-12
• Set 'CR' + 'LF' at the end of a complete command.
'CR': carriage return (ASCII sign No. 13)
'LF': line feed (ASCII sign No. 10)
• All commands, where the Dosimat has to send data, begin with letter 'Q' (query).
• Each string sent by the Dosimat ends with 'CR' + 'LF'.
• Set handshake up for every character (asynchronous transfer).
There are several exceptions in order to avoid problems with time:

• The commands GO, STOP, FILL, CLEAR, and INFORMATION are so-called 1-byte
commands. They are simply transmitted as 'G', 'S', 'F', 'C', and 'I' . No separating and
terminating signs are necessary.
• With command 'I' (Information), the Dosimat sends two information bytes containing
the information READY, CODE, LOCK, LIMIT etc. see 4.2.7.
• Several commands can be transmitted "live", i.e. during a running function. All other
commands are recognized only if the Dosimat is in its ready state, see 4.2. If
commands are not recognized, the corresponding error bytes of information byte 2 are
set and may be inquired with command 'I'.

4.2.15 MDC Mode DIS C with previous parameters, not live

Selection of mode DIS C without changing the actual parameters in the working memory.
4.2.16 MPU ON Mode PULSE on, not live

Mode PULSE on.
Mode PULSE is not equivalent to modes DOS, DIS R, DIS C, PIP or DIL. Mode PULSE
runs before one of these modes. The parameters in the working memory remain
unchanged and no filling is executed.
In mode PULSE, 1/10 000 V(B) is dosed with every 'GO'. The maximal frequency of GO-
commands is ≤ 500 Hz. This is equal to the maximum rate of 1 V(B)/20 s.
Note: It is advantageous to run mode PULSE before mode DOS or DIS C, because in
these two modes V-LIM is active. Mode PULSE has to be left with "MPU OFF".
4.2.17 MPU OFF Mode PULSE off, not live

Mode PULSE off. The background mode is reactivated in the working memory. No
parameters are changed and no filling is executed.
4.2.18 MST X Mode store under address X, not live

5.2 Warranty and certificates
5.2.1 Warranty
The warranty regarding our products is limited to rectification free of
charge in our workshops of defects that can be proved to be due to
material, design or manufacturing faults which appear within 12
months from the day of delivery. Transport costs are chargeable to
the purchaser.
For day and night operation, the warranty is valid for 6 months.
Glass breakage in the case of electrodes or other glass parts is not
covered by the warranty. Checks which are not a result of material or
manufacturing faults are also charged during the warranty period.
For parts of outside manufacture insofar as these constitute an ap-
preciable part of our instrument, the warranty stipulations of the
manufacturer in question apply.
With regard to the guarantee of accuracy, the technical specifica-
tions in the Instructions for Use are authoritative.
Concerning defects in material, construction or design as well as the
absence of guaranteed features, the purchaser has no rights or
claims except those mentioned above.
If damage of the packaging is evident on receipt of a consignment
or if the goods show signs of transport damage after unpacking, the
carrier must be informed immediately and a written damage report
demanded. Lack of an official damage report releases METROHM
from any liability to pay compensation.
If any instruments and parts have to be returned, the original pack-
aging should be used if at all possible. This applies above all to in-
struments, electrodes, burette cylinders and PTFE pistons. Before
embedding in wood shavings or similar material, the parts must be
packed in a dustproof package (for instruments, use of a plastic bag
is imperative). If open assemblies are enclosed in the scope of de-
livery that are sensitive to electromagnetic voltages (e.g. data inter-
faces etc.) these must be returned in the associated original protec-
tive packaging (e.g. conductive protective bag). (Exception: assem-
blies with built-in voltage source belong in a non-conductive protec-
tive packaging). For damage which arises as a result of non-
compliance with these instructions, no warranty responsibility what-
soever will be accepted by METROHM.

• Select the baud rate of the Dosimat such that it corresponds with that of the balance
(special key 1, see page 18).
• Select handshake "none" (special key 6, see page 18).
• Weights can be transferred to parameter "s" of the Dosimat with the aid of a transfer
key on the balance:
- In DOS mode with display s = .
- In CNT D mode with display s g (substance size).
• If another instrument is to be connected to socket A of the Dosimat in addition to the
balance, the 6.2125.000 double plug is available.
• The balance must transmit in mode "g".
5.4 Connection of a printer

The printer is connected to the RS232 output (6) of the Dosimat.
Important: Switch Dosimat on first, then printer.
Connecting cable:

5.5 Continuous dosing with two Dosimats
5.5 Continuous dosing with two Dosimats
Two 765 Dosimats are suitable for continuous dosing.

The two 765 Dosimats are connected with cable 3.980.3140 via both interfaces RS232 (6).
Procedure
• Select mode DIS C in both Dosimats.
• Set on both Dosimats the dispensing volume equal to the volume of the mounted
exchange unit (V-DIS = Vburette).
If one of the Dosimats is started and reaches the preselected dispensing volume, this
triggers the start of the other Dosimat, etc.
• Prerequisite for continuous dosing is that the filling rate is higher than the expelling rate
(while one Dosimat is expelling, the other one is refilling i.e. in addition to the
movement of the piston two turns of the cock are necessary, about 2 s for each
turning).
Example: rate ↑ ≤ 0.85 rate ↓max for the smaller of the exchange unit
At high rates, the effective expelling rate can deviate from the set rate by max. 4 % as a
result of the finite resolution of the digital rate control, but the effective rate is held
constant with quartz crystal accuracy.
If dosing to a fixed end volume V is envisaged, V-LIM is set according to the following
rules:
• Calculation of the number of complete cycles N (V1 and V2 be completely expelled):
V
N = INT ———— (integral quotient)
V1 + V2
• Calculation of the remaining volume VR:
VR = V - N * (V1 + V2)
• In case the remaining volume is VR=0, Dosimat 2 is the final burette.
Settings on Dosimat 1: Settings on Dosimat 2:
V-LIM(1) = OFF V-LIM(2) = N * V2
VDIS(1) = V1 V-DIS(2) = V2
• In case the remaining volume is VR ≠0 and VR ≤ V1 , Dosimat 1 is the final burette.
V-LIM(1) = V - N * V2 V-LIM(2) = OFF
VDIS(1) = V1 V-DIS(2) = V2
• In case the remaining volume is VR ≠0 and VR > V1, Dosimat 2 is the final burette.
V-LIM(1) = OFF V-LIM(2) = V - V1 * (N + 1)
VDIS(1) = V1 V-DIS(2) = V2
with
V1 cylinder volume on Dosimat 1 (start Dosimat)
V2 cylinder volume on Dosimat 2

5.5. Continuous dosing with two Dosimats
Example:
Continuous dosing of 55 mL. Exchange units with volumes of 20 mL and 10 mL.
Key:
End volume V = 55 mL
Exchange unit 1 V1 = 20 mL
Exchange unit 2 V2 = 10 mL
55
1. N = Int———— = 1
20+10
2. VR = 55 - 1*(20+10) = 25
3. 25 (VR) is larger than 20 (V1), i.e. Dosimat 2 is the final burette.
4. V-LIM for Dosimat 2 is: 55-20*(1+1) = 15
Settings:
Dosimat 1 (start Dosimat) Dosimat 2 (final Dosimat)
20 mL Exchange unit 10 mL Exchange unit
V-DIS = 20 mL V-DIS = 10 mL
V-LIM = OFF V-LIM = 15 mL
rate ↑ = 25.5 mL/min rate ↑ = 25.5 mL/min
rate ↓ = 60 mL/min rate ↓ = 30 mL/min
The rate ↑ of 25.5 mL/min is the highest possible value for the predefined configuration.
