1. Safety and Compliance..................................................................3
Do not use a sample that could make a dangerous chemical reaction and cause an
explosion or poisonous gas, when the sample is dried.
Keep flammables away from the analyzer.
Parts of the analyzer become very hot. Materials placed near it might catch fire.
Do not use the analyzer in ambient ignitable gas. It may cause explosion and fire.
Use a power source (voltage, frequency, outlet type) adapted to the specification of
the analyzer. If excessive voltage is used, the analyzer may overheat and be
damage or cause a fire.
Turn off the power switch and remove the power cord from the power outlet, when
replacing the halogen lamp. Touching an electrode of the halogen lamp connector
carelessly, it may cause to receive an electric shock.
Do not disassemble the analyzer. It may cause an err or, damage, receiving an electric
shock or fire. If the analyzer needs service or repai r, contact the l ocal A&D deal er .
Avoid getting the analyzer wet. It is not a water-resistant structure. If there is leakage
of liquid into the analyzer, it may cause damage to the analyzer or receiving electric
shock.
Do not look at the active halogen lamp to protect your eyes from damage.
Do not drop, hit or crack the glassware including the halogen lamp, to avoid an
injury.
When the halogen lamp is used beyond 5000 hours, we recommend replacing the
lamp with a new one to avoid trouble.
When discarding a halogen lamp, do not break it to avoid scattering glass and injury.

CAUTION
Do not touch the heater cover, the halogen lamp, glass-housing, pan handle, sample
pan and sample without adequate protection, it could cause a burn or scald. Parts of
the analyzer are very hot when a measurement finishes. For operation, use the
specified grips of the heater cover and pan handle. Use the standard accessory
tools.
Do not touch parts affixed with the mark, because they may get very hot and
dangerous.
When the analyzer is used in a room where hot air does not diffuse, it may
unexpectedly overheat. In this case, adjust the drying temperature or move the
analyzer to a place with adequate ventilation.
Avoid leaving the analyzer in direct sunlight, as that could cause discoloration of the
case or a malfunction.

4.4.
The moisture analyzer is built using a super hybri d sensor (S.H.S.) ad opt ed i n an
analytical balance. Therefore, the result is more precise and gets greater repeatability.
An analyzer using the S.H.S. has high sensitivity, needs only a sample quantity of a
few grams, and the analysis time becomes shorter.
A 400W halogen lamp is used as the heating source and the temperature on the
sample pan can reach 200°C within two minutes.
There are five analysis modes.

The analyzer is equipped with a serial interface as standard. It can be connected to
a printer or computer.
The analyzer can calibrate the weighing sensor (Use special mass.) and drying
temperature (Use temperature calibrator for MS-70 and MX-50 except MF-50 and

of the calibration.
The analyzer has a self check function that can detect function errors.

Use the glass fiber sheet to measure the moisture content
that is included in the following samples. When this sheet is
used, vaporization of moisture is speeded up and moisture
measurement result becomes quick and precise.
This accessory (AX-MX-32-1) is a package of 100 glass fiber sheets. This accessory is inclued in the packing for MS-70, MX-50 and MF-50. Purchase this accessory by your order for ML-50. Use the glass fiber sheet (AX-MX32-1) for high surface tension liquid sample.
Example 1 : "Liquid Sample" Or "Meltable Sample"
When the glass fiber sheet is used for these measurements, moisture is more apt to
vaporize because of expanding the surface area and space. And the glass fiber
sheet has the effect of preventing a surface film from forming at drying process.

Sodium tartrate dihydrate is used to check the accuracy of measurement for the
analyzer.
As an ideal substance on theory, sodium tartrate dihydrate includes moisture
content of 15.66% in the molecule. But the moisture content may change due to
conditions of storage.
The moisture content of 15.0 to 16.0% is obtained by the method below.
(Unit % is based on wet sample)
Sodium tartrate is contained in food (example : wine). If it may irritate the eyes and
nose, wash with water.
The test sample can not be used repeatedly. Dispose of it as flammable matter.
In case of MS-70 MX-50 and MF-50, test sample is included in these packing list.
In case of ML-50, purchase the test sample of accessory.

The analyzer can be connected to personal computer using the RS-232C interface.
The analyzer is the Data Communication Equipment type (DCE).
Use a straight-through type cable.
The MS-70 and MX-50 have the following standard accessory cable for RS-232C.
If it is necessary to connect a cable to the MF-50 and ML-50, purchase the cable of
accessory AX-MX-40. If purchasing the RS-232C cable on the market, check the
interface connections and type.

T he MS-70 and MX-50 have the standard accessory software "WinCT-Moisture" for
Windows. It has the function to make graphs of the change of moistu re content in
realtime and has an optimum temperature search program that judges heating at an
appropriate temperature setting. Refer to "English Readme.txt" on the CD-ROM for
the details.
The MF-50 has the standard accessory software " WinCT" for Windows. It can
transmit data to a computer and can be used to monitor data and to check the
measurement condition.
There is the accessory AX-MX-42 of the software " WinCT" for Windows.

13. Calibration
13.13.
The moisture content is calculated with a ratio of wet weight and dried weight.
Therefore, the absolute value of weighing does not influence the calculation of the
moisture content, but it is necessary to get precise weighing for GLP, GMP and ISO.
Use a 20g mass or a 50g mass to calibrate the weighing sensor.
When calibratin g the weighin g sens or, you can output the calib ration re port adap ted
to GLP, GMP and ISO.
There is a certified temperature calibrator (accessory AX-MX-43, only for MS-70 and
MX-50) to calibrate the pan temperature for precise temperature control.
When calibrating the temperature, you can output the calibration report adapted to
GLP, GMP and ISO.
The analyzer can store an ID number to be used in the calibration report. The
number can be used for management an d maintenance of the analyzer

A standard mass of 20g or 50g can be used for the calibration
A 20g standard mass (AX-MX-41) is recommend.
Caution
Avoid vibration and drafts that affect the calibration. If affected, the analyzer
may be unable to calibrate the weighing sensor.
Use a 20g mass for the calibration, because the height between the weighing
pan and glass-housing is 26 mm. If a tall mass is used, open the glass-housing

Use the halogen lamp of accessory AX-MX-34-120V or AX-MX-34-240V that is adapted
to your local voltage. The life of the halogen lamp is approximately 5000 hours.
Caution
Remove power cord be fore replacement. If the power cord i s not removed duri ng
