1.4 Safety is first
Your Moisture Analyzer employs state of the art technology and meets the latest
demands regarding instrument safety. Improper operation can endanger personnel
and can cause property damage. For safe and dependable operation, please comply
with the following instructions:
— The Moisture Analyzer is used for determination of the moisture in samples.
Please use the instrument exclusively for this purpose. Any other type of use can
endanger personnel and damage the instrument or other property.
— The Moisture Analyzer must not be operated in a hazardous environment and only
under ambient conditions specified in these instructions.
— The Moisture Analyzer may be operated only by trained personnel who are
familiar with the properties of the samples used and with the handling of the
instrument.
— Your Moisture Analyzer is supplied with a 3-pin power cable with an equipment
grounding conductor. Only extension cables which meet the relevant standards
and also have an equipment grounding conductor may be used. Intentional
disconnection of the equipment grounding conductor is prohibited.
The Halogen Moisture Analyzer works with heat!
— Ensure sufficient free space around the instrument to avoid heat accumulation
and overheating (approximately 1 m free space above the instrument).
—Never place flammable materials on, below or next to the instrument as the area
around the dryer unit warms up.
—Exercise caution when removing the sample. The sample itself, the sample
chamber and any sample containers may still be very hot.
— During operation, you should never open the dryer unit as the ring-shaped
heating element or its protective glass can reach 400°C! If you have to open the
dryer unit on occasion, disconnect the instrument from the power supply and wait
until the dryer unit has cooled down completely.
