2. BASIC INFORMATION
CAUTION!
Use of moisture analyzer MAX series conversely to safety provisions and
other than following guidelines of this user manual may be hazardous to
human health and life. Never use the moisture analyzer is explosive area.
Moisture analyzer is not intended to use in areas with danger of
explosion. The inner shields of a moisture analyzer may heat up to 400
°C. Moisture analyzer’s nominal voltage is 230 VAC, thus it is necessary
to use the device in accordance with safety principles of low-voltage
instruments.
A symbol visible on instrument’s top cover (see below) is a warning
against its hot surface.
2.1. Intended use
A moisture analyzer MAX series is designed to determine relative moisture
content in small samples of various substances, determine dry mass content in
small samples and determine mass of weighed objects.
MAX series ensures fast and precise determination process of water content in
a tested sample, and application of a graphic display considerably simplifies
functioning, operation and carrying out measurement processes. Moisture
analyzer MAX series can be used to determine humidity 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 mass reading is
stabilized, the sample is quickly heated by halogen lamps or IR emitters,
causing humidity evaporation from the tested sample. While sampling, the
moisture analyzer is continuously checking the decline 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 MAX series considerably
shortens measurement time and simplifies testing procedure. The moisture
analyzer allows for setting multiple parameters which influence the procedure
of moisture content determination in a sample, such as: temperature, time,
drying modes, etc.).
