ambient conditions in the laboratory
and in industry. When choosing a loca-
tion to set up your analyzer, observe
the following so that you will be able to
work with added speed and accuracy:
– Set up the moisture analyzer on a stable,
even surface that is not exposed to
vibrations, and level it using the four
leveling feet
– Avoid placing the moisture analyzer in
close proximity to a heater or otherwise
exposing it to heat or direct sunlight
– Avoid exposing the moisture analyzer
to extreme temperature fluctuations
– Protect the moisture analyzer from
drafts that come from open windows
or doors

excessive heat cannot build up. Leave
enough space between the moisture
analyzer and materials that are affected
by heat.
