Connecting the Moisture Analyzer to AC Power
§ Check the voltage rating and the plug design
$ The heating element has been factory-set to 230 V
or 115 volts for technical reasons. The voltage has
been set as specified on your order. The voltage
setting is indicated on the manufacturer’s label (see
the bottom of the analyzer), for example:
– 230 volts: MA35M-…230…
– 115 volts: MA35M-…115…
! CAUTION! If the voltage indicated on the label does
not match your local line voltage:
Do not operate your moisture analyzer; contact
your local Sartorius office or dealer.
Use only
– Genuine Sartorius power cords, or
– Power cords approved by a certified electrician
– If you need to connect an extension cord, use only
a cable with a protective grounding conductor
§ Connecting the moisture analyzer, rated to Class 1,
to AC power (mains supply):
Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet (mains
supply) that is properly installed with a protective
grounding conductor (protective earth = PE)
Safety Precautions
If you use an electrical outlet that does not have a
protective grounding conductor, make sure to have
an equivalent protective conductor installed by a
certified electrician as specified in the applicable
regulations for installation in your country.
Make sure the protective grounding effect is not
neutralized by use of an extension cord that lacks a
protective grounding conductor.
Connecting Electronic Peripheral Devices
§ Make absolutely sure to unplug the analyzer from
AC power before you connect or disconnect a
peripheral device (printer or PC) to or from the
interface port.
