Safety Information

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 are permitted to the analyzer.

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 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.

Choosing a Location

tSelect the proper setup location:

An optimal location guarantees accuracy and reliability. Ensure that the following

ambient conditions are met:

– Set up the analyzer on a stable, even surface that is not exposed to vibrations

(e.g., weighing stone).

– Maintain free access to the analyzer at all times.

– Make sure to choose a place where excessive heat cannot build up.

– Leave enough space between it and materials that are affected by heat.

Choose a location that is not subject to the following negative influences:

– Heat (heater or direct sunlight)

– Drafts from open windows, AC systems, and doors

– Extreme vibrations during measurement

– Heavy traffic areas (personnel)

– Extreme humidity

– Electromagnetic fields

Acclimatization

Condensation from humidity can form on the surfaces of a cold device when it is

brought into a substantially warmer area. You should therefore let a device that has

been disconnected from its power source acclimatize for approximately 2 hours

before reconnecting it to the power.
