AQUALAB
If this error message appears,
1. Remove the sample from the instrument.
2. Place a lid on the cup.
3. Allow the sample to cool to within 4 °C of the instrument before measuring.
To check the differences in temperature between the sample and the chamber prior to
beginning a reading, set the sample in the chamber, close the lid without latching it, and
press the RIGHT or LEFT button. Figure3 provides an example of this screen.

2.3 TAKING A READING
The AQUALAB provides readings in 5 min or less. Readings are reliable, providing ±0.003 a
w
accuracy.
CAUTIONS
• Never leave a sample in the AQUALAB after a reading has been taken. The sample may spill
and contaminate the instrument chamber if the instrument is accidentally moved or jolted.
• Never move the instrument after a sample has been loaded. Movement may cause the
sample material to spill and contaminate the sample chamber.
• Do not measure a sample that has a temperature greater than ±4 °C than the AQUALAB
chamber (Section2.2.2). Remove the sample until it is at room temperature.
NOTE: After measuring volatiles with the capacitance sensor, clean the chamber (Section4.2), place charcoal in the
chamber, and seal for a minimum of 5 min before switching to the dew point sensor.
Perform the following steps to take a reading.
1. Ensure the AQUALAB is plugged in and turned on.
The splash screen will appear, followed by the main Measurement tab (Section3.2.4.1).
2. For AQUALAB DUO instruments (Section2.5), use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll
through all available product models that may be used (Figure4).
The moisture content value adjusts based on the selected model.
