CAUTION! The Moisture Analyzer works with heat!
• Ensure sufficient free space around the instrument to avoid
heat accumulation and overheating (approx. 1 m free space
above the heating module).
• The vent over the sample must never be covered, plugged,
taped over or tampered with in any other way.
• Do not place any combustible materials on, under or next to the
instrument since the area around the heating module may be
hot.
• Exercise caution when removing the sample. The sample itself,
the sample chamber, the draft shield and any sample vessels
used may still be very hot.
• During operation, you should never open the heating module
itself as the ring-shaped heating reflector or its protective glass
can reach 400 °C! If you have to open the heating module e.g.
for maintenance, disconnect the instrument from the power
supply and wait until the heating module has cooled down
completely.
• No modifications must be made within the heating module. It
is particularly dangerous to bend any components or remove
them or to make any other changes.
CAUTION! Fire or Explosion
• Flammable or explosive substances.
• Substances containing solvents.
• Substances which evolve flammable or explosive gases or
vapors when heated.
a. In cases of doubt, perform a careful risk analysis.
b. Work at a drying temperature that is low enough to prevent
c. Wear protective goggles.
d. Work with small amounts of sample.
e. Never leave the instrument unattended!
It is not permitted to use the instrument in explosive atmosphere
of gases, steam, fog, dust and flammable dust (hazardous
environments).
