8General information2.1.2 Safety information for the correct use of the instrument• This instrument is intended only for indoor use.• Do not vibrate or jolt the instrument.• Do not open the instrument. Only authorized and trained personal is allowed to openthe instrument. Follow the following safety information, in addition to any localguidelines in force.Guarantee is voided if the instrument is not used in accordance with the guidelinespresent in this document.2.1.3 Chemical and biological safetyNormal operation of this instrument may involve the use of hazardous chemicals orbiologically harmful samples.• Observe all cautionary information printed on the original solution containers andsafety data sheet prior to their use.• Dispose of all consumed solutions in accordance with national regulations and laws.• Select the type of protective equipment suitable to the concentration and quantity ofthe dangerous material at the respective work place.2.2 Overview of productAlkalinity is a measure of the capacity of water to neutralize acids. Alkaline compounds inthe water such as bicarbonates, carbonates, and hydroxides remove H + ions and lowerthe acidity of the water (which means increased pH). They usually do this by combiningwith the H + ions to make new compounds. Without this acid-neutralizing capacity, any acidadded to water would cause an immediate change in the pH. Measuring alkalinity isimportant in determining water ability to neutralize acidic pollution from rainfall orwastewater.The TitraLab pH & Alkalinity content system is used for the titrimetric determination ofalkalinity in waters. Intended for the analysis of natural, treated water and waste water.Electrical equipment marked with this symbol may not be disposed of in European domestic or public disposalsystems after 12 August 2005.
