MOISTURE
A running real time display illustrates the drying process which includes the
test ID, set temperature, type of switch off, initial weight, current temperature
in the chamber, actual elapsed time of the test, and moisture content.
Removing the sample
When the test measurement is completed, you may remove the sample from
the instrument by opening the cover, and carefully lift the pan handler from
the chamber.
Stopping the test
Press the Start/Stop button. The Moisture Analyzer stops the drying and
measurement process.
Interrupting the test (manual switchoff only)
During the measurement process, the test can be interrupted for a very short
period of time if a sample has to be stirred for example. To do this, simply lift
the cover, stir the sample and close the cover. The test will resume. In the
PRINT MODE, the time the cover is open will be printed.
Remember, use caution as components are hot.
