overheating. Leave about 20 cm around the instrument and
about 1 m above.
Air vents that are located in the housing cannot be covered,
sealed or blocked in any other way.
Do not put any flammable substances on, under or near the
moisture analyzer.
Be particularly careful when removing the sample from the
drying chamber: the sample itself, the drying chamber,
shields
and the pan can still be extremely hot.
In case of any maintenance work (cleaning the inside of the
drying chamber), the moisture analyzer must be switched
off.
Wait until all the components have cooled down. Do not
perform
any modification to the heating module.
Same types of samples require taking particular safety precautions.
They can pose a danger for people and objects. It is always the user who
is liable for possible damages caused by the use of an inappropriate
sample.
CAUTION:
Corrosion
Substances that release aggressive vapours (e.g. acids)
during
the heating process. In this case, it is recommended to
work with
small samples. Otherwise, vapours can condense on cold
housing parts and cause corrosion.
WARNING:
Fire or explosion
Flammable or explosive substances, substances containing
solvents or releasing flammable or explosive gases or
vapours.
Perform a risk analysis when in doubt relating to the sample
characteristics before carrying out the procedure.
For this type of samples apply the drying temperatures as
low as possible to prevent flames or explosion. During the
analysis it is
necessary to wear protective glasses and gloves. The
samples
should be relatively small.
