First Steps Assembly (continued) Note: For bottles with other thread sizes, select a suitable adapter. The adapters supplied with the instrument are made of polypropylene (PP), and can only be used for media which do not attack PP. If a higher chemical resistance is required, please use a EFTE/PTFE bottle adapter ('Accessories', page 56).
Priming Warning: Wear protective clothing, eye protection and gloves! Never press down the piston when the screw cap is screwed on! Avoid splash- ing the reagent! Liquid may accumulate in the screw cap. To avoid splashes dispense slowly. Follow all safety instructions and observe limitations of use and operating limitations (page 34-35).

Accessories The following optional accessories are available: Flexible discharge tube with recirculation valve For serial dispensing the flexible discharge tube can be used for the S and Dispensette S Organic bottle-top dispenser Dispensette ® ® ('Accessories', page 57). The specified accuracy and coefficient of variation of the instrument are only obtained for volumes >...

Accessories Drying tube Use of a drying tube, filled with a suitable absorbent (purchased separately), might be necessary for moisture- and CO - sensitive media ('Accessories', page 58). Assembly Use a coin to unscrew the air vent cap (Fig. 1). Screw the filled drying tube in (Fig.
Error Limits Error limits related to the nominal capacity (= maximum volume) indicated on the instrument, obtained when instrument and distilled water are equilibrated at ambient temperature (20 °C/68 °F). Testing takes place according DIN EN 20 °C ISO 8655-6 with a completely filled instrument and with uniform and smooth dispensing.
This time frame should be adjusted to correspond with individual requirements. The complete testing procedure (SOP) can be downloaded at www.brand.de. In addition, you can also perform a func- tion test at shorter intervals, e.g. dispensing the nominal volume into a volumetric test flask (volumetric flask with 3 marks, DAkkS calibrated).
Adjustment After a long period of usage an adjustment of the instrument Type Digital might be necessary. I Calibrate for example at nominal volume (see page 47). I Calculate mean volume (result of weighing) (see page 47). I Adjust the instrument (to the calculated mean volume). I After the adjustment, further calibration is necessary to confirm appropiate adjustment.
Cleaning The instrument must be cleaned in the following situations to assure correct operation: I prior to changing the valve I immediately when the piston is difficult to move I regularly when using liquids which form deposits (e.g., crystallizing liquids) I before changing the reagent I regularly when liquids accumulate in the I prior to long term storage...

Cleaning Disassembly of the piston (continued). b) Digital type Carry out assembly and dismantling at the maximum volume setting only (Fig. 2b). Move the latch to the left and remove the front Place the tip of the mounting tool in the piston housing.
Replacement of discharge tube/ valves Replacing the discharge tube Instruments with a recirculating valve should be set to 'Recirculate', and the valve lever pulled upwards to remove (Fig. 1). Slide the discharge tube housing all the way up, then pull it forward with gentle up and down motions (Fig.
Page 21
Replacement of discharge tube/ valves Replacing the discharge tube (cont.) Filling valve Pull out the recirculation tube and the telescoping filling tube (Fig. 1). Use the mounting tool to unscrew the filling valve (Fig. 2). Screw in the new filling valve first by hand and then tighten it with the mounting tool.
Autoclaving The instrument can be autoclaved at 121 °C (250 °F), 2 bar with a hold time of at least 15 minutes according to DIN EN 285. Preparation for autoclaving The instrument must be carefully cleaned prior to autoclaving (see 'Cleaning', page 49-50). Open the closure cap on the discharge tube, and for instruments with a recirculation valve, set the valve to 'Dispense'.
