3 Basic Information (General)
3.1 Proper use
The device purchased by you is designed for a fast and reliable determination of
material moisture in liquid, porous and solid materials by applying the method of
thermogravimetrics.
3.2 Improper Use
Impacts and overloading exceeding the stated maximum load (max) of the device,
minus a possibly existing tare load, must be strictly avoided.
Balance may be damage by this.
Never operate device in explosive environment. The serial version is not explosion
protected.
The structure of the balance may not be modified. This may lead to incorrect
weighing results, safety-related faults and destruction of the moisture analyser.
The moisture analyser may only be used according to the described conditions.
Other areas of use must be released by KERN in writing.

3.4 Monitoring of Test Resources
In the framework of quality assurance the measuring-related properties of the
moisture analyser and, if applicable, the testing weight, must be checked regularly.
The responsible user must define a suitable interval as well as type and scope of this
test. Information is available on KERN’s home page (www.kern-sohn.com) with
regard to the monitoring of balance test substances and the test weights required for
this. In KERN's accredited DKD calibration laboratory test weights and balances may
be calibrated (return to the national standard) fast and at moderate cost.
