To Obtain the Best Results
The following explains how to measure moisture content correctly.
Precaution for carrying out measurements in succession
Placing a sample on the warmed sample pan may cause moisture from the sample to
evaporate before starting measurement, causing an error in measurement result. Be sure to
use a sample pan kept at room temperature when measuring another samples.
When measuring samples in succession, keep a constant interval between the measurements
wherever possible. If the temperature inside the moisture analyzer is not stable, errors may
affect the measurement results.
Quantity and placement of powdered, particulate and viscous sample materials
A sample must be placed on the sample pan atly. Samples cannot be heated properly if they
are not placed atly. Placing samples in mounds or in layers of varying thickness may cause
the highest points to be burned, leading to inaccurate measurement results.
Placing a larger amount of sample atly can lead to more accurate measurement. However, if
the amount is too large, the surface of the sample may burn before inside is dried out.
See the following gures to place the appropriate amount of sample atly.
Proper placement Incorrect placement
Measuring liquid samples
Depending on the sample, you can reduce the measurement time and improve the
measurement accuracy by using berglass (option).

There are four types of drying modes (standard drying, rapid drying, slow drying, and stepped drying)
for measurement conditions. There are two types of ending modes (automatic ending and timed ending).
Congure the temperature, time, or ∆M (amount of change in moisture content per 30 seconds) for
all modes. Saving the measuring conditions enables you to call relevant conditions when needed and
measure moisture content based on these conditions. A maximum of 10 measuring conditions can be
saved.
The procedures to set measuring conditions are as follows:

Detailed Measurement
Measuring Samples by Raising Temperature Gradually
(SLOW: Slow drying mode)
Slow drying mode raises the temperature more gradually than measurements in normal
conditions, taking about ve minutes from the time the measurement begins until the
temperature reaches the preset level. As the ending condition, you can select either the amount
of change in moisture content per 30 seconds or the time. When the amount of change in
moisture content per 30 seconds drops below the set value, or the time reaches the set value, the
measurement terminates automatically. Set the temperature for rapid drying, and ∆M or time as
the ending condition.
Samples that tend to change in composition in rapid temperature shift may burn dry, making
it difcult to measure their moisture contents properly. Slow drying mode can set the heater
temperature to rise gradually. This mode is suitable for measuring samples such as protein
and high molecular compound that change largely when heated in a high temperature or rapid
temperature rise.

Detailed Measurement
Measuring Samples by Setting Temperature Step by Step
(STEP: Stepped drying mode)
In the Stepped Drying mode, you can set the drying temperature and time in one to three
steps for measurement purposes. As the ending condition, you can select either the amount of
change in moisture content per 30 seconds or the time. After measuring a sample by changing
drying temperature in two or three steps, when the amount of change in moisture content per 30
seconds drops below the set value, or the time reaches the set value, the measurement terminates
automatically. Set the temperature and time of the rst step, the temperature and time of the
second step (∆M if measurement ends at the second step), the temperature of the third step, and
∆M or time as the ending condition.
If the crystal of hydrate is dried off, heat changes its composition. As a result, moisture content
may be measured differently depending on the drying temperature. Stepped drying mode,
setting the drying temperature in maximum three steps, is suitable for measuring moisture
content at different temperatures.

Span calibration can be performed to ensure accurate measurements by the moisture analyzer. Periodical
calibration is recommended to ensure more accurate measurement results.
The following two types of calibrations are provided for the moisture analyzer.
Span calibration
Calibrating the temperature (Option)
Span Calibration
For accurate measurement of the moisture analyzer, span calibration by using a weight.
The calibration result can be recorded if a printer is connected in advance.
^ "Printer Output (Option)", page 91
For further information on the span calibration procedure, in "The Span Calibration after
Installing the Moisture Analyzer" (^ page 40).
Calibrating the Temperature (Option)
To calibrate the temperature of the MOC63u moisture analyzer, the optional "Temperature
Calibration Kit" is required. For further information on the temperature calibration kit, refer to
the instruction manual attached to the kit.
The calibration record can be output automatically if a printer is connected in advance.

How to Use the Command Codes
You can use command codes to control the MOC63u moisture analyzer from the PC. The
following explains how to use the commands.
*
Command acceptance
When the PC outputs a com mand, the "COM ERR" message may be displayed and the
command may be rejected by the moisture analyzer according to its conditions.
A command ending with a digit, a character, or a symbol other than Equal (=) sign
A delimiter (C/R = ASCII code 0DH) is added after each command code, and this code is sent to
the moisture analyzer.
Example 1:
Input command code Command code to be sent Result
ID ID(C/R)
The moisture analyzer ID is read
and displayed.
A command ending with an Equal (=) sign
Enter an argument after each command code, and this code is sent to the moisture analyzer with
a delimiter in the end.
Example 2:
Input command code Command code to be sent Result
ID=1234 ID=1234(C/R)
The moisture analyzer ID is set to
"1234".
Echo back command
A string consisting of "n" characters, which begins with an echo back command "{" and ends
with a delimiter, is retransmitted from the moisture analyzer. ("N≤30" if the queued commands
do not remain in the receive buffer of the moisture analyzer.)
Example 3:
Input command code
Command code
to be sent
Result
{ABCDEFG12345 {ABCDEFG12345(C/R)
When the moisture analyzer receives this command,
it outputs "ABCDEFG12345(C/R)".This character
string (or any character string) can be printed out on
a printer if connected.
