Safety Instructions

2.3 Hot Surfaces

During operation, parts of the device can heat up,
thereby making their surfaces hot. There is a danger
of burns to the body parts that touch these surfaces.

t Avoid contact with hot surfaces.
t Before working with the device: Allow the heating

element and device equipment to cool.

t Do not insert the adjustment disk immediately

after drying.

t Always use the removal tool to transport the

adjustment disk or remove it from the moisture
analyzer after a measurement.

t Allow the adjustment disk to cool on a clean,

temperature-resistant pad before or after
completion of a measurement.

t After cooling, place the adjustment disk back into

the carrying case and store it in a dust-free and
protected location.

t Wear personal protective equipment.

4.1 Notes on Calibrating the Moisture Analyzer

When calibrating the moisture analyzer using the heating adjustment set, there is an
examination of whether the moisture analyzer is adjusted to the ambient conditions
at the place of use. A basic heating adjustment has already been carried out at the
factory. This adjustment is valid for many installation sites under laboratory
conditions.
However, if you have particular ambient conditions, e.g. strong direct sunlight or
operation in an exhaust, then an inspection will be necessary.

The adjustment disk has a special coating, which absorbs almost all heat radiation.
This ensures that your measurements are reliably adjustable to all operating sites.

If calibration is carried out, then this must be calibrated in the ambient conditions
present. E.g.: If the moisture analyzer is operated in a room with exhaust, then the
moisture analyzer must also be calibrated at this place of use.

Operating Instructions YTM15MA 9

Operation

The following conditions should be taken into account
when calibrating the moisture analyzer:

− Carry out calibration in a temperate area. The room
temperature should be 20°C.

− Carry out calibration in a clean measurement
location.

− Use a stable and level surface (table).

− Drafts, e.g. from open doors/windows, should be
avoided.
If required: Shield the device.

− The frequent movement of persons in front of the
device should be avoided (unstable conditions).

− Avoid direct sunlight.

− Avoid gases or dusts.

− Establish a safety distance in the direct vicinity of
the device. At least 20 cm on all sides and at least
1 m above the device.

4.2 Transporting and Removing the
Adjustment Disk

CAUTION

Danger of burns due to hot adjustment disk!

t Always use the disk holder (removal tool) to

transport the adjustment disk or remove it from
the moisture analyzer after calibration.

t Allow the adjustment disk to cool on a clean,

temperature-resistant pad before or after
completion of a measurement.

t Only place the adjustment disk back into the

carrying case after cooling.

t Wear personal protective equipment.
