Description
Connection cable for external control for akku-drive® and opus® is a dedicated control cable that enables external triggering of the dosing process on compatible liquid-handling instruments. It is intended for laboratories that need to start dispensing steps from outside the instrument, for example when dosing must be embedded in automated or semi-automated workflows. By linking the unit to an external control signal, operators can coordinate volumetric operations with process controllers, timers or higher-level automation without manual button presses at the device. The accessory is supplied as a single piece with a net weight of 0,070 kg and compact packaging suitable for storage with related titration and dispensing modules. From manufacturer Hirschmann, the cable is matched to the akku-drive® and opus® platforms used in analytical and preparative dosing tasks. Typical applications include routine laboratory automation, method development setups and process-integrated dispensing where reproducible external start signals improve throughput and reduce operator variability. The design supports reliable day-to-day use in controlled laboratory environments alongside other Hirschmann dosing accessories.

Questions about OPERATING CABLE, FOR EXT. OPERATION
What is this article?
OPERATING CABLE, FOR EXT. OPERATION is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hirschmann for laboratory use. It sits in Pipette stands, calibration & accessories, inside Liquid handling, in Lab instruments.
A pipette stand holds piston pipettes upright so liquid does not run into the piston. Calibration accessories and certificates are how a pipette's delivered volume is shown to be inside tolerance. A stand is also a carousel. The certificate belongs to one pipette, identified by serial number.
A piston pipette delivers a set volume of liquid by air displacement or, for viscous and volatile liquids, by positive displacement. A single channel is the ordinary tool. A multichannel repeats the same volume across a row of a plate. A bottle-top dispenser meters reagent from the bottle it sits on. The accuracy is a property of the pipette and of how it is used, which is why calibration and a certificate exist. Piston-operated apparatus is treated under ISO laboratory apparatus. The volume unit sits with the BIPM and NIST.
