Drying chamber cannot be opened during operation (drying process). It is
due to the fact that a halogen lamp and its glass shield may reach the
temperature of up to 400°C.
When setting up the moisture analyzer leave enough space to prevent heat
from building up and to keep your analyzer from overheating. Leave about
20 cm around the instrument and about 1 m above.
Air vents that are located in the housing cannot be covered, sealed or
blocked in any other way.
Do not put any flammable substances on, under or near the moisture
analyzer.
Be particularly careful when removing the sample from the drying chamber.
The sample itself, the drying chamber, shields and the weighing pan can
still be extremely hot.
In case of any maintenance work (cleaning the inside of the drying
chamber), the moisture analyzer must be switched off.
Wait until all the components have cooled down.
Do not perform any modification to the heating module.
Same types of samples require taking particular safety precautions.
They can pose a danger for people and objects. It is always the user who is liable
for possible damages caused by the use of an inappropriate sample.
Corrosion Substances that release aggressive vapours (e.g. acids) during
the heating process. In this case, it is recommended to work with small
samples. Otherwise, vapours can condense on cold housing parts and
Fire or explosion Flammable or explosive substances, substances
containing solvents or releasing flammable or explosive gases or vapours.
Perform a risk analysis when in doubt relating to the sample characteristics
before carrying out the procedure. For this type of samples apply the drying
temperatures as low as possible to prevent flames or explosion. During the
analysis it is necessary to wear protective glasses and gloves. The
samples should be relatively small.
Under no circumstances can the instrument be left unsupervised!
WARNING:
Substances containing toxic and caustic or corrosive components
Substances that release toxic gases or vapours can cause irritations (eyes,
skin or respiratory system), illnesses or even death. Dry such substances
only in fume cupboards.
Under no circumstances should the instrument be used in an area with any risk of
explosion.
The moisture analyzer is not designed to operate in hazardous areas.
