1 Introduction

1.1 Instrument description

The 863 Compact Autosampler is an Autosampler for ion chromatography

or voltammetry with a wide variety of applications. It can be used as the

central control instrument in an independent automation system or as an

integrated sample changer in a PC-controlled automation system.

1.1.1 Model versions

The 863 Compact Autosampler is available in two model versions with dif-

ferent accessories.

863 Compact IC Autosampler 2.863.0010

With ion chromatography accessories.

863 Compact VA Autosampler 2.863.0020

With voltammetry accessories.

1.1.2 Instrument components

The 863 Compact Autosampler has the following components:

￭Turntable

Permanently mounted sample rack with 36 positions for sample ves-

sels.

￭Lift with lift head

With needle holder for PEEK needles.

￭Single channel peristaltic pump

For transporting sample solutions.

￭USB (OTG) connector

For connecting a computer, a printer, or a USB flash drive (for system

backup or method export).

￭Remote connector

For connecting instruments with a remote connector.

1.1.3 PC-controlled operation

If the 863 Compact Autosampler is controlled via a USB connection using

the MagIC Net computer software, then any automation runs can be

programmed. This allows optimal use of the instrument components

which the instrument has available. The software can actuate the instru-

ment components directly and can use them more flexibly.

1.2 About the documentation ￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭

2￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭ 863 Compact Autosampler

1.1.4 Stand-alone operation

The 863 Compact Autosampler can be used as a central control instru-

ment in an automation system which can include various types of ion

chromatography instruments or the 797 VA Computrace. In this role, the

863 Compact Autosampler acts as a reliable sample changer.

Specified method runs can be individually parameterized and saved as

sample-specific methods. Methods can be exported on a USB flash drive

and then copied onto another instrument quickly and easily.

1.1.5 Intended use

The 863 Compact Autosampler is designed for usage as an automation

system in analytical laboratories. It is not suitable for usage in biochemi-

cal, biological or medical environments in its basic equipment version.
