28.2. Cleaning Temperature Sensor
To ensure correct temperature measurement make sure
that the temperature sensor is clean (1).
Take extra precautions while cleaning the device.
Clean the moisture analyzer using soft fabrics and mild
cleaning agents. Do not use any abrasive agents or
solvents as it may cause damage to the sensor.
Neither IR emitter nor halogen shall be touched in the
course of cleaning activities, this is to prevent risk of
damage.
It is possible to clean emitter’s shields if there is such a
necessity. To do that, use soft fabrics exclusively.
Remember not to touch the emitters.
28.3. Troubleshooting
Problem: no reaction to pressing main switch on/off key (display remains dark).
Probable cause:
• no voltage in the mains,
• damaged power cord,
• damaged fuse of the moisture analyzer,
• damaged moisture analyzer.
Problem: too long pending time for drying process finish.
Probable cause:
• - incorrect finish mode selected - select it experimentally
Problem: lack of measurements repeatability
Probable cause:
• non-uniform sample content – prepare the sample using larger amount of substance.
• the drying time is too short – change finish mode.
• drying temperature is too high, causing sample’s oxidizing - lower drying
temperature.
• tested sample boils - lower drying temperature.
• the temperature sensor is contaminated or defected - clean the temperature sensor.
• the weighing table on which the moisture analyzer is located is unstable - move the
device to a different workstation.
• the ambient area is incompatible with the requirements (vibrations, drafts, etc.) -
change the ambient conditions for compatible ones according to the guidelines of this
service manual.
