3.6 Switching the Moisture Analyzer on and off
Your Moisture Analyzer is on at all times when connected to a power source. The display can be
turned on or off.
To switch the Moisture Analyzer on, press the
On/Off button. An internal diagnostic test is
performed; the display lights and the Home screen
appears followed by the initial display.
To switch the Moisture Analyzer off, press the
On/Off button. After the analyzer has been switched
off, it is in the standby mode. If you wish to perform a
test, press the On/Off button again.
Note:
As your Moisture Analyzer needs no warm-up time
when in the standby mode and is immediately ready
for testing samples, we advise you to switch the
display off by use of the On/Off button and not to
disconnect it from the power supply. This also ensures
that the Moisture Analyzer is always in thermal
equilibrium.
4. MAKING A SIMPLE MEASUREMENT
With your Moisture Analyzer powered on, you are ready to operate for the first time and
perform a simple measurement. For this simple test, you will enter the Default method and
enable the test. By doing this test, you will become familiar with the instrument.
Included with your Moisture Analyzer is a specimen sample for your first measurement. This
sample is an absorbent glass fiber pad. During your first measurement, the instrument
operates with the factory settings.
If the display is not visible and the unit is plugged into a
power source, press the On/Off button.
Directly start a measurement.
Open the cover on the Moisture Analyzer.
Clean the pan.
Place the pan handler in the sample chamber. Ensure
that the tongue of the pan handler fits exactly in the slot
of the draft shield element.
Place the empty sample pan and glass fiber pan in the
pan handler. The sample pan must lie flat in the pan
handler.
Attention: It is advisable for you to work with the pan
handler at all times. The pan handler is ergonomic, safe
and provides protection against possible burns due to a
hot sample pan.
Close the cover. This sets the Moisture Analyzer to zero
automatically.
