PLETHYSMOMETER - OPERATION MANUAL

SET-UP

1. Fasten the cell to a laboratory upright by a right-angle clamp and insert the water
reservoir on the same or a
separate stand.
2. The cell is fitted with a slide valve provided with two side pipe connections. Branch
them by the tubes
stretches provided to the water reservoir and to a sink.
3. Keep the valve wings horizontal (SHUT) and fill the reservoir with a solution
prepared in a separated vessel
according to the following directions. Add to distilled water.
A)

2-3 ml /1 wetting compound (provided with standard package) which minimizes

drop and meniscus build-up leading to more accurate measures.
B)
About 6 milimoles of any univalent alkali metal chloride (NaCl, LiCl, KCL, RbCl,
CsCL). In practice 0.4-0.5 g/l of common easily available NaCl (0.3-0.4 g for the
0.7 litre reservoir)
- Conductivity attained by this molarity provides optimum transducer
performances.
- Moreover, as the transducer works satisfactorily up to 12-15 mMoles per litre,
any solution alteration
brought about by rat dropping, in most cases increasing conductivity, does
not impair its operation.
- Stir !
THE SOLUTION MUST ALWAYS BE FRESH, SEE FAST CALIBRATION *
1. Combine a gentle push and rotation of a transducer head to make sure it is properly
fitted to the smaller
tube and check that its cable is clamped.
2. Fill the cell by turning the valve winged cap approx. 45C leftwards, according to the
side to which the
reservoir is linked.
3. Reposition the valve cap horizontally to stop the flow and turn it otherwise to drain.
4. Fill the drain a couple of times to practice and to purge the system from air bubbles.
5. Adjust the water level in the marked range, close to the upper red line.
6. Connect the transducer cable and the hold pedal to the Plethysmometer, WATER
CELL AND PEDAL
SWITCH connectors respectively.
SWITCHING ON
1. Switch ON. The graphic display lights and shows UGO BASILE aft.3 seconds, the
display shows the
configuration of the previous experiment. The operator can maintain it, if
convenient, without the need of
fresh setting.
2. Warm up 2-3 minutes.
CALIBRATION
1. When the 1740 is put in operation for the first time, it requires to be calibrated with
a volume probe.
2. Use the calibration probes provided with the standard package:- 0.5 or 1.0 ml probe for 7156 cell
- 1.0 or 2.0 ml probe for 7152 cell
- 2.0 or 4.0 ml probe for 7157 and 7159 cell
3. Calibration is also necessary if the instrument has beeb OFF duty for a long time
after having changed the
solution, or replaced the cell, the transducer, etc.
4. To calibrate, depress F1 (CAL) key, from the main menu. The display zeroed
5. F1 (UP ARROW) key if depressed more times, enables the operator to select the
volume of the calibration
probe in the sequence loop 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0 ml
6. Select the calibration probe and depress the F2 to confirm the choice.

NOTE: BEFORE MAKING A SECOND TEST, DO NOT FORGET TO ZERO THE 7140
AND TO DRY THE PROBE TAKES OUT SOME DROPS.
* FAST CALIBRATION:

Before each working session, it is advisable to check the calibration: simply zero
the display and dip the suitable calibration probe into the cell, then read the value
shown by the instrument. If not successful, never use a solution older than 2-3
days. For more information please refer manual book or senior operator.
