3.5 Danger Information
Individual parts of the case (e. g. the ventilation grids) may heat up considerably during
operation. For this reason, please touch the device only at the designated handles.
Sample materials developing aggressive vapours (e. g. acids) may cause corrosion
problems on some parts of the device. The moisture meters should mainly be used for
drying aqueous substances. Explosion prone, flammable samples must not be
analysed using the moisture meter.
 Do not open or touch drying chambers during the drying
process as the device develops very high temperatures. Even
after finishing the measurement the appliance remains hot.
• Careful when removing the sample. The sample itself, the
sample dish and the heating unit may be very hot.
• Do not use the moisture meter for analysing explosion prone,
easily flammable samples.
• Do not operate the humidity analyser in areas with hazard of
explosion
• Sample materials emitting toxic substances must be dried with
a special extraction system in place. Create an environment
that prevents the inhalation of vapours hazardous to health.
• Do not place combustible materials on, under or next to the
device.
• Ensure that there is sufficient empty space around the device in
order to prevent heat accumulation (distance to device 20 cm,
above it 1m).
• Make sure that liquids do not get in contact with the interior of
the device or the connections at the rear of the device.
If you spill liquid on the device, disconnect it immediately.
Afterwards do not operate the appliance and have it checked
by a competent KERN stockist before any further use.
