considerably shortens measurement time and simplifies testing procedure. MA
3Y series allows for setting multiple parameters which influence the procedure
of moisture content determination in a sample, such as: temperature, time,
drying modes, etc.
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).
Moisture analyzer MA 3Y 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 only 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 is not adjusted for operation in explosive areas. There
must not be any modification made to the moisture analyzer.
2.5. Principles of safety use
Moisture analyzer is in accord with all binding safety regulations. Nevertheless
there are exceptional circumstances that may cause danger.
It is forbidden to open an instrument housing. Inside there are no parts that
would require maintenance, repair or replacement carried out by a user. In
case of any problems it is recommended to contact RADWAG service or a
distributor. It must be always remembered to use the device in accordance with
this service manual and especially to follow instructions on installation and
configuration of a new device.
Use of a moisture analyzer MA 3Y series conversely to safety principles and
user manual guidelines may be hazardous to operator’s health and life. It is
obligatory to acknowledge the safety principles listed in the user manual:
- use a moisture analyzer only to determine humidity content in
samples and determine mass of a tested sample. Any other use of
the moisture analyzer may be dangerous both to the device and the
user,
- before commissioning the moisture analyzer, make sure that the
nominal power of the device specified on its data plate, is compatible
