2.4. Inappropriate use
CAUTION!
Do not open the drying chamber during drying process. Moisture analyzer
features a halogen lamp which is a very powerful heat source. Thus, user
should pay special attention no to touch those elements of a moisture analyzer
that get hot while drying procedure (i.e.: disposable pan, pan handle, and inner
shields of the drying chamber).
Remember that some of tested samples may become dangerous if heated
(appearance of poisoning vapours, danger of ignition or explosion).
A moisture analyzer MAX series is not intended for dynamic weighing. Even if
small amounts of a sample are added to taken off the weighing pan, the mass
readout should be taken only on stabilization of measurement result
(appearance of stability pictogram
on the display).
Do not place any magnetic materials on the weighing pan, as this can cause
damage of the measuring system of the instrument. Be sure to avoid impact
shock and overloading the moisture analyzer in excess of the prescribed
maximum measuring range (max capacity), minus any possible tare weight that
has been applied).
Never use the moisture analyzer in an environment endangered by an
explosion!
This moisture analyzer has not been adjusted for operation in explosive areas.
There must not be any modification made to the moisture analyzer.
