Safety Instructions
Operating Instructions Moisture Analyzer MA160
Note the IP protection class of the analyzer! Do not allow liquid penetration. The
protection class specifies the suitability of equipment for various environmental
conditions (moisture, foreign bodies).
Before cleaning the analyzer: Unplug the power supply cable from the socket.
Position the power cable so that it cannot touch the hot surfaces of the analyzer
and is not a trip hazard. Disconnecting the grounding conductor is prohibited.
The device may only be opened by specialized personnel trained by Sartorius.
Danger due to Fire or Explosion!
– Flammable or explosive substances
– Substances containing solvents
– Substances that release flammable or explosive gases or vapors during the drying
process: When working with these types of samples, use a drying temperature
that is low enough to prevent a fire or explosion from occurring.
– If in doubt, carry out a careful risk analysis.
– Wear safety glasses.
– Always work with small sample quantities.
Never leave the analyzer unattended in these cases.
No modifications to the analyzer are permitted.
Symbols Used on the Device
When setting up the moisture analyzer, leave enough space to prevent heat from
building up and to keep the analyzer from overheating:
– 1 m above the analyzer
– 20 cm around the analyzer
The vent above the sample must not be covered or modified in any other way.
During operation do not open the hood, because the heating unit may be very hot.
Do not put any flammable substances on, under, or near the moisture analyzer
because the area around the heating unit will heat up.
Be careful when removing the sample: The sample itself, the heating unit, and the
sample pans may still be extremely hot.
Observe the additional safety and danger information in the following chapters.
