2.2. Inappropriate use
CAUTION!
Do not open the drying chamber during drying process. Moisture analyzer
features a halogen lamp which is a very powerful heat source. Thus, user
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).
A moisture analyzer MAX series is not intended for dynamic weighing. Even if
small amounts of a sample are added to taken off the weighing pan, the mass
readout should be taken only on stabilization of measurement result
(appearance of stability pictogram on the display).
Do not place any magnetic materials on the weighing pan, as 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 an
explosion. This moisture analyzer has not been adjusted for operation in
explosive areas. There must not be any modification made to the moisture
analyzer.
2.3. Principles of safety use
Use of moisture analyzer MAX series conversely to safety principles and user
manual guidelines may be hazardous to operator’s health and life. It is
obligatory to acknowledge with safety principles listed in the user manual:
- use a moisture analyzer only to determine humidity content in samples and
determine mass of a tested sample. Any other use of the moisture analyzer
may be dangerous either to the device or the user,
- before switching on the moisture analyzer, make sure that the nominal
power of the device specified on its data plate, is compatible with the
supply in the mains to which the moisture analyzer will be plugged in,
- change of heating element can only be carried out by authorized
service,
- protect moisture analyzer against contacts with liquids,
- as the area around moisture analyzer gets heated, do not put any
inflammable objects or substances in close distance to the device,
- substance containing toxic or caustic vapour should be tested in a
chamber which absorbs the vapours,
- samples of substances that produce inflammable vapours if heated should
be relatively small (small sample mass), and drying process should be
carried out in low temperatures,
- remember that aggressive substances may cause corrosion to the device.
