Gentle drying:
For delicate drying, you need to enter the final temperature.
The maximum set temperature is 200 °C. The target temperature is reached more
slowly and the measurement time is extended, but an overshoot is avoided. Gentle
drying is recommended for sensitive samples.
MA35 mode:
The moisture analyzer heats as in the standard mode, but converts to values on
the temperature scale corresponding to those in the MA35 (old adjustment disk
technology; 40–200 °C ➝ 40–160 °C). This mode is active only for moisture
analysis (before, during and after drying), but not during heat adjustment or
heating tests.
Standby Temperature
Temperature set to defined value when the sample chamber is closed.
Heating only occurs when the analyzer is in a measurement cycle. The standby
temperature is not the same as the measurement temperature.
The “Timeout Standby Temp.” can be set to 1 to 24 hours and is preset to 2 hours.
To change the setting, see chapter “System Settings (Setup Menu).”
Initial Weight
The target weight and the associated tolerance range can be entered by the user as
mandatory or just as a weighing guide. The tolerance range can be freely selected,
e.g., ± 0.5 g.
Print Lines
When print lines are activated (1 or 2 lines with 20 characters each), additional
information about the method, entered by the user, appears on the report and
printout.
Filters
The user has the option of selecting between 0, 1, or 2 filters. During taring a
message appears indicating that the configured number of filters must be placed
with the sample pan for taring.
Target Value
The user can enter a target value with a tolerance range. During analysis a progress
bar appears, indicating the progress of the measurement. At the end of the analysis,
you can see whether the value is within the tolerance range.
