2.3. Intended Use
The moisture analyzer of MA X2 series is designed to determine: relative moisture
content in small samples of various substances, dry mass content in small samples and
mass of weighed objects.
The moisture analyzer ensures fast and precise determination of sample's moisture
content.
With use of a graphic touch screen the operation and measurement is simplified. A
moisture analyzer can be used to determine moisture content of different materials. At
the initial stage of measurement, the device precisely determines the mass of an object
placed on instrument’s weighing pan. As the mass reading is stabilized, the sample is
quickly heated by a halogen lamp, an IR emitter or a metal heater causing humidity
evaporation from the tested sample. While sampling, the moisture analyzer is
continuously checking the loss of mass, and on calculation, it displays current moisture
content in a tested sample.
Compared to conventional methods of humidity content determination of various
substances, application of moisture analyzer considerably shortens measurement time
and simplifies testing procedure.
MA X2 moisture analyzer allows setting multiple parameters which influence the
procedure of moisture content determination in a sample, such as: temperature, time,
drying modes, etc.
2.4. Good Weighing Practice
CAUTION!
Do not open the drying chamber during drying process. Moisture analyzer features a
halogen lamp which is a very powerful heat source. Thus, operator should pay special
attention no to touch those elements of a moisture analyzer that get hot while drying
procedure (i.e.: disposable pan, pan handle, and inner shields of the drying chamber).
Remember that some of tested samples may become dangerous if heated (appearance
of poisoning vapours, danger of ignition or explosion).
MA X2 moisture analyzer is not intended for dynamic weighing. Even if small amounts of
a sample are added to or taken off the weighing pan, the mass readout should only be
taken on stabilization of measurement result (upon displaying pictogram).
Do not place any magnetic materials on the weighing pan. This can cause damage of
the measuring system of the instrument.
Be sure to avoid impact shock and overloading the moisture analyzer in excess of the
prescribed maximum measuring range (max capacity), minus any possible tare weight
that has been applied.
Never use the moisture analyzer in an environment endangered by explosion!
This moisture analyzer is not adjusted for operation in explosive areas.
There must not be any modification made to the moisture analyzer.
2.5. Precautions
RADWAG moisture analyzer adheres to all binding safety regulations. Nevertheless there
are exceptional circumstances that may cause danger.
Do not open the instrument’s housing. Inside there are no parts that would require
maintenance, repair or replacement carried out by an operator. In case of any problems,
contact RADWAG service or a distributor.
Use the device only as intended. Follow this user manual in terms of installation and
configuration of the device.
