MB62 Instruction Manual
WARNING: Never work in an environment subject to explosion hazards!
The housing of the instrument is not gas tight. (explosion hazard due to
spark formation, corrosion caused by the ingress of gases)
WARNING: Electrical shock hazards exist within the housing. The
housing should only be opened by authorized and qualified personnel.
Remove all power connections to the unit before opening.
WARNING! Substances contain toxic or caustic components
Toxic gases produced during drying could cause irritations (eyes, Skin,
breathing), illness or death.
• Such substances may be dried only in a fume cupboard.
CAUTION! Corrosion!
Substances evolve corrosive vapors when heated (e.g. acids).
• Work with small amounts of samples as the vapor can condense on
cooler housing parts and cause corrosion.
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 the
formation of flames or an explosion.
c. Wear protective goggles.
d. Work with small amounts of sample.
e. Never leave the instrument unattended!
