Under no circumstances can the instrument be left
Unsupervised!
WARNING:
Substances containing toxic and caustic or corrosive
components
Substances that release toxic gases or vapours can cause
irritations (eyes, skin or respiratory system), illnesses or
even death. Dry such substances only in fume hood.
Under no circumstances should the instrument be used in an area with
any risk of explosion. The moisture analyzer is not designed to operate in
hazardous areas.
2.3. Intended use
A moisture analyzer MAX series is designed to determine relative moisture
content in small samples of various substances, determine dry mass content in
small samples and determine mass of weighed objects.
MAX series ensures fast and precise determination process of water content in
a tested sample, and application of a graphic display considerably simplifies
functioning, operation and carrying out measurement processes. Moisture
analyzer MAX series can be used to determine humidity content of different
materials.
At the initial stage of measurement, the device precisely determines the mass
of an object placed on instrument’s weighing pan. As mass reading is
stabilized, the sample is quickly heated by halogen lamps or IR emitters,
causing humidity evaporation from the tested sample. While sampling, the
moisture analyzer is continuously checking the decline of mass, and on
calculation, it displays current moisture content in a tested sample.
Compared to conventional methods of humidity content determination of
various substances, application of moisture analyzer MAX series considerably
shortens measurement time and simplifies testing procedure. The moisture
analyzer allows for setting multiple parameters which influence the procedure
of moisture content determination in a sample, such as: temperature, time,
drying modes, etc.
