!
Make sure before getting started
that the voltage rating printed on
the manufacturer‘s label is identical
to your local line voltage (see the
section on “Connecting the Moisture Analyzer to AC Power” in the
chapter entitled “Getting Started”)
– The analyzer comes with a power
supply that has a grounding conductor
– The only way to switch the power
off completely is to unplug the
power cord.
– Position the power cable so that it
cannot touch any hot areas of the
moisture analyzer.
– Use only extension cords that meet
the applicable standards and have
a protective grounding conductor.
– Disconnecting the ground conduc-
tor is prohibited.
– Connect only Sartorius accessories
and options, as these are optimally
designed for use with your moisture analyzer.
– Protect the moisture analyzer from
contact with liquid.
– If there is visible damage to the
moisture analyzer or power cord:
unplug the equipment and lock it
in a secure place to ensure that it
cannot be used for the time being.
!
Clean your moisture analyzer
according to the cleaning instructions only (see “Cleaning”).
Do not open the analyzer housing.
If the seal is broken, this will result in
forfeiture of all claims under the manufacturer’s warranty.
In case you have any problems with
your moisture analyzer:
$ contact your local Sartorius office,
dealer or service center
Warning: Severe Burns!
– When setting up the moisture analyzer,
leave enough space to prevent heat
from building up and to keep your
analyzer from overheating:
– leave 20 cm (about 8 inches) around
the moisture analyzer
– 1 m (3 ft.) above the device
– Do not put any flammable substances
on, under or near the moisture analyzer,
because the area around the heating
unit will heat up.
– Be careful when removing the sample
from the chamber: the sample itself, the
heater module and the sample pan used
can still be extremely hot.

Page 6
Hazards for persons or equipment
posed by using specific samples:
Fire Explosion
– Flammable or explosive substances
– Substances that contain solvents
– Substances that release flammable or
explosive gases or vapors during the
drying process
In some cases, it is possible to operate
the moisture analyzer in an enclosed
nitrogen atmosphere to prevent the
vapor released during drying from
coming in contact with oxygen in the
surrounding atmosphere. Check on a
case-to-case basis whether this method
can be used, because installation of the
analyzer in too small an enclosed space
can affect its functions (for instance
through excessive heat build-up within
the analyzer). When in doubt, perform
a risk analysis.
The user shall be liable and responsible
for any damage that arises in connection with this moisture analyzer.
Poisoning Caustic burns
– Substances containing toxic or caustic
or corrosive substances: These may
be dried only under a fume hood.
The value for the “lower toxic limit” in
a work area must not be exceeded.
Corrosion:
– Substances that release aggressive
vapors during the heating process
(such as acids): In this case we recommend that you work with small sample
quantities. Otherwise, vapors can condense on cold housing parts and cause
corrosion.
The user shall be liable and responsible
for any damage that arises in connection with this moisture analyzer.
– Sample Pans (Delivered with the
Analyzer):
The reusable metal pans are not
made of stainless steel. For this reason,
they are not resistant to corrosion.
These pans can be used only for powder
and granules (e.g. plastics) with very
low moisture content.
If the moisture content is higher, the
disposable aluminium pans (90 mm
diameter) must be used (see chapter
“Accessories”).

Page 7
Caution
Do not touch the metal surfaces inside
the drying chamber while removing
or placing a sample in the analyzer since
the surfaces are very hot.
Do not touch the heater hood ventilation area at any time because this area
can be hot during and after a test.
§ Do not test flammable or toxic
materials.
§ Use the analyzer in a fume hood if the
samples emit fumes which could be
harmful.
§ Know where the fire extinguisher is
located. Use only an extinguisher rated

with a New Program
When creating a new program, the standby
temperature setting from the previous drying
program is used automatically by the analyzer.
Example:
You have created a new program for drying
a temperature-sensitive sample at low temperature. The analyzer uses the standby temperature, e.g. 165°C, from the previous program.
You must call up the standby temperature
parameter and change the temperature value.
If you forget performing this setting, your analyzer is always too hot before starting the test.

Recalling a Program
Drying programs are stored for easy access at a later
time. This eliminates the need to change parameters
for frequently tested samples. Up to 60 drying programs can be stored. Creating and storing a program
is described under Developing a Drying Program.
To recall a stored program, perform the following
steps:
1. From the Standby screen, press the RECALL soft key.
The screen will change to the first page of stored
programs as show below.
2. To display programs on the next pages, press the
Down soft key.
3. Press the number(s) key followed by the Enter key
for the number that precedes the program name.
As an alternative, use the arrow keys to highlight the
desired program name, then press Enter. The display
will change to the Standby screen with the new
program in the top left corner. This program will be
used for the next test. If a blank program is entered,
the analyzer will use the last valid program that
was entered.
Note
As a shortcut, it is not necessary to have the desired
program listed on the display to recall it. Simply
enter the desired number from your memory on the
first page and press the Enter key.

Time 1 and 2
Each the Temperature 1 and 2 setting
can have a set period of time. Time 1 or
2 is the time during which the sample
will be dried at each temperature before
advancing to the next temperature.
Once the time for the last temperature
has elapsed, the test will terminate
unless a slope endpoint has been turned
On. If Temperature 2 is set, then at the
end of Time 1, the analyzer will ramp to
Temperature 2.

Slope
The slope function provides an automatic endpoint for the test. The slope
function consists of two variables:
window of time and percent of initial
weight (%IW) change. During the test,
the weight change of the sample is continuously monitored within a moving
window of time. When the loss of
weight within the window is less than
the initial weight percentage set, the
slope criteria has been met. The final
weight is taken and calculation is
performed to end the test. This slope
is referred to as “actual slope” because
the endpoint is actually achieved.
