3. WORKROOM AND BASIC OPERATION GUIDELINES
Operate the device in a room where the temperature ranges between 10–40 °C
o
(50–104 °F) and where the relative humidity is below 80%.

Keep space free around the device:
h = min. 100 cm (39 in.),
w = min. 20 cm (8 in.).
Avoid air drafts and air movements
at the workstation.
Not intended for usage within EX
zones. Not intended for weighing
explosive or flammable substances.
Place the balance away from heat
sources. Avoid exposing the balance
to the sunlight.
Make sure that the balance is placed
on an even surface.
Not to be opened in the course of
operation since the heating components reach very high temperature.
Avoid exposing the balance to a
magnetic field. Do not weigh magnetic
substances.
Do not place the balance on an unstable
surface exposed to shocks and
vibrations.
Be extremely careful while taking the
sample out. The sample and the
moisture analyzer elements may be hot.

8. BASIC OPERATIONS
8.1. Adjustment
It is recommended to carry out adjustment operation prior to running the WEIGHING mode (adjustment is not required for
DRYING). External adjustment is carried out using an external mass standard of the right accuracy and weight value, which
value depends on balance type and capacity.
Prior to adjustment prepare the right mass standard.
You are recommended to use mass standard of class F1 or F2.
View the table and select the mass standard you need.
Caution! Make sure that the disposable weighing pan has been
installed (read point 5.5.). Do not close the drying chamber in the
course of adjustment.

10. SAMPLES AND DRYING METHODS
10.1. Preparing samples
Optimal sample structure and size are crucial features
influencing measurements speed, accuracy and repeatability.
Solids:
- sample crushing necessary,
- sample of low weight required,
- large sample surface.
Samples with low moisture
content:
- sample of heavy weight required
(10 - 15 g).
10.2. Handling hazardous samples
Some sample types require particular caution!
They may pose risk for people and objects. It is the moisture analyzer operator
who is responsible for potential loss being a result of such samples use.
Substances that in the course of
heating may emit vapours causing
corrosion (e.g. acids).
Apply small amount of samples, this
helps to prevent risk of depositioning
of vapour over cool housing
components.
Explosive and flammable substances and substances that in the
course of heating emit flammable
vapours.
Apply small amount of samples and
lower drying temperature, this helps to
prevent flames from rising and
explosion. Use glasses and protective
gloves.
Liquids:
- large sample surface.
Toxic and corrosive substances and
substances that in the course of
heating emit toxic vapours.
Due to risk of eyes, skin and lungs
irritation, and due to risk of death, such
samples must be dried in fume cupboard.

12. DEVICE CLEANING
12.1. General Recommendations
Prior to cleaning, it is necessary to
disconnect the balance from the mains.
Avoid using cleansers containing chlorine, corrosive chemicals and bleach. Do not use
cleansers containing abrasive substances or scouring preparations.
Use soft cloths made of microfiber,
natural fiber or man-made fiber. Avoid
using abrasive cloths or cloths that might
scratch the surface.
11.2. Glass components
Prior to cleaning the glass panes, it is necessary to disassemble them first.
For detailed instruction on panes disassembly, refer to user manual.
Clean glass components using a solution of water and detergent (liquid soap,
dish-washing detergent, glass cleaner, etc.). In case of heavy contamination,
a mild solution of vinegar or baking soda can be used.
11.3. Plastic components
Prior to cleaning the plastic housing, it is necessary to disassemble
weighing pan components (cover, weighing pan, etc.).
Clean plastic components using a solution of water and detergent
(liquid soap, dish-washing detergent, glass cleaner, etc.).
Apply the cleanser onto the cloth first.
Avoid applying the cleanser directly
onto the device.
11.4. Stainless steel components
Prior to cleaning the stainless steel components, it is necessary
to disassemble them first.
Clean stainless steel components using a solution of water and detergent
(liquid soap, dish-washing detergent, glass cleaner, etc.). In case of heavy
contamination, a mild solution of vinegar or baking soda. can be used.
