1 Introduction
1.1 Instrument description
The 899 Coulometer is a titrator used for coulometric water content
determination according to Karl Fischer. There are method templates
available which are already configured except for a few parameters. The
methods can be modified and stored under a new name. The methods
can be exported to a connected USB flash drive. This function makes it
possible for you to copy methods quickly and easily from one instrument
to another.
The 899 Coulometer has an integrated magnetic stirrer that is visible on
the top side of the housing. The coulometer cell can easily be attached to
the magnetic stirrer. Thanks to its compact construction, you can use the
device in a small space as a stand-alone titrator. Furthermore, the remote
interface permits you to connect a sample changer with oven module and
to perform automated determinations.
As an alternative to the power supply with the power supply unit provi-
ded, the 899 Coulometer can also be operated by means of an accumula-
tor (a so-called Power Box). The Power Box is available as optional equip-
ment. It is particularly appropriate for use in environments where power
supplies are either unstable or absent.
