Safety Precautions

CAUTION: Read all safety warnings before installing, making connections, or servicing this
equipment. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in personal injury and/or property
damage. Retain all instructions for future reference.
• Before connecting power, verify that the product or its AC adapter input voltage range and plug type are compatible
with the local AC mains power supply.
• Do not position the equipment such that it is difficult to reach the power connection.
• Only connect the power cord to a compatible grounded electrical outlet.
• Only use a power cord with a rating that exceeds the specifications on the equipment label.
• Make sure that the power cord does not pose a potential obstacle or tripping hazard.
• Operate the equipment only under ambient conditions specified in the user instructions.
• This equipment is for indoor use only.
• Do not operate the equipment in wet, hazardous or unstable environments.
• Do not allow liquids to enter the equipment.
• Do not place the equipment upside down on the platform.
• Use only approved accessories and peripherals.
• Disconnect the equipment from mains power before cleaning or servicing.
• Service should only be performed by authorized personnel.
WARNING: Never work in an environment subject to explosion hazards! The housing of the
instrument is not gas tight. (explosion hazard due to spark formation, corrosion caused by the
ingress of gases)
WARNING: Electrical shock hazards exist within the housing. The housing should only be
opened by authorized and qualified personnel. Remove all power connections to the unit before
opening.
WARNING! Substances contain toxic or caustic components
Toxic gases produced during drying could cause irritations (eyes, Skin, breathing), illness or
death.
• Such substances may be dried only in a fume cupboard.
CAUTION! Corrosion!
Substances evolve corrosive vapors when heated (e.g. acids).
• Work with small amounts of samples as the vapor can condense on cooler housing parts and
cause corrosion.
CAUTION! The Moisture Analyzer works with heat!
• Ensure sufficient free space around the instrument to avoid heat accumulation and
overheating (approx. 1 m free space above the heating module).
• The vent over the sample must never be covered, plugged, taped over or tampered with in
any other way.
• Do not place any combustible materials on, under or next to the instrument since the area
around the heating module may be hot.
• Exercise caution when removing the sample. The sample itself, the sample chamber, the
draft shield and any sample vessels used may still be very hot.
• During operation, you should never open the heating module itself as the ring-shaped
heating reflector or its protective glass can reach 400 °C! If you have to open the heating
module e.g. for maintenance, disconnect the instrument from the power supply and wait until
the heating module has cooled down completely.
• No modifications must be made within the heating module. It is particularly dangerous to
bend any components or remove them or to make any other changes.
