Operating Instructions

Aczet Moisture Analyzer

Electronic Moisture Analyzer

qDo not use a sample that could make

a dangerous chemical reaction and

cause an explosion or poisonous gas,

when the sample is heated.

qKeep flammables away from the

analyzer.

qDo not use the analyzer in ambient

ignitable gas. It may cause explosion

and fire.

qUse a power source (voltage,

frequency, outlet type) adapted to

the specification of the analyzer. If

excessive voltage is used, the

analyzer may overheat and be

damage or cause a fire.

qTurn off the power switch and remove

the power cord from the socket,

when replacing the halogen lamp.

Touching the halogen lamp connector

carelessly may cause an electric

shock.

qDo not disassemble the analyzer. It

may cause an error, damage,

receiving an electric shock or fire. If

the analyzer needs service or repair,

contact the local aczet service

center.

qAvoid getting the analyzer wet. It is

not a water-resistant analyzer. If

there is leakage of liquid into the

analyzer, it may cause damage to the

analyzer or receiving electric shock.

qDo not look at the active halogen

lamp to protect your eyes from

damage.

when a measurement finishes. For

operation, use the specified grips of

the heater cover and pan handle. Use

the standard accessory tools.

qWhen the analyzer is used in a room

where hot air does not diffuse, it

may unexpectedly overheat. In this

case, adjust the drying temperature

or move the analyzer to a place with

adequate ventilation.

qAvoid leaving the analyzer in direct

sunlight, as that could cause

discoloration of the case or a

malfunction.

qUse only aczet accessories as they

are optimally designed for use with

your moisture analyzer

Safety And Warning :

Introduction :

Moisture analyzer is used as a quick and reliable means of

determining the moisture content in solid, pasty and liquids

by the thermo-gravimetric principle. Moisture analyzer

saves work and speedup your routine measurement.

To ensure proper utilization of the moisture analyzer, go

through the operating instructions very carefully.

PRINCIPLE OF MOISTURE ANALYZER:

qWhat is moisture?

The moisture of a material is often mistakenly equated

with its water content. In fact, the moisture of a material

includes of all the volatile components which are given off

when the sample is heated, resulting in a decrease in sample

weight. Among such volatile substances are:

qWater

qOrganic solvents

qOils

qAlcohol

qFats

qFlavorings

qProducts of decomposition (When a sample is to

overtheated) etc.

There are many methods to determine the moisture content

of a substance.

Basically, these methods can be divide into two categories:

When absolute methods are used, the moisture content is

directly determined (for example, as a weight loss

registered during the drying routine). These methods include

oven drying, infrared drying, and microwave drying. All

three of these methods are thermo gravimetric.

When deductive methods are used, the moisture content is

indirectly determined.

A physical property, which is related to the moisture in the

substance, is measured (e.g., absorption of electromagnetic

rays). These methods include Karl-Fischer titration, infrared

spectroscopy, microwave spectroscopy, etc.

Thermo gravimetric is the process of determining the loss of

mass that occurs when a substance is heated. In this process,

the sample is weighed before and after being heated, and

the difference between the two weights is calculated.

In a conventional drying oven, circulating hot air warms the

sample from the outside to the inside. Efficiency is lost

during drying because as the moisture evaporates, it cools

the sample surface.

By contrast, infrared rays (IR rays) penetrate a sample

without being impeded. Having reached the interior of a

sample, they are converted into heat energy, which

stimulates evaporation, thus drying the sample. A small part

of the IR rays is reflected from the surface of the substance.

qHow does a moisture analyzer work?

The moisture analyzer consists of two essential components;

a weight analyzer and a heater. The sample is placed in the

moisture analyzer and the analyzer captures the initial

weight. An infrared energy heater is used to heat the sample.

During the test the analyzer records the weight. When the

sample no longer looses weight the analyzer shuts off the

heat and uses the final weight to calculate moisture

contents.

Levelling your Balance :

Purpose:

qTo compensate for irregularity at the place of

installation

qThis is particularly important for testing liquid

samples, which must be at a uniform level in the

sample pan

qAlways level the moisture analyzer again every time it

has been moved to a different location.

qRotate the leveling feet as needed to adjust the

moisture analyzer

qIn order to function properly, the moisture analyzer

must be precisely horizontal.

qThe analyzer is fitted with a "leveling bubble" and two

rotatable feet for level-control, with the aid of which

it is possible to compensate for small height

differences and/or unevenness in the surface on

which the analyzer is kept.

qThe screw feet must be adjusted so that the air bubble

is precisely in the center of the sight glass of the

leveling bubble.

qPlease refer for leveling of the Analyzer.

Follow safety instructions when connecting the analyzer to

the mains:

NOTE:

qThe analyzer may only be operated using the original

mains cord supplied.

qIf the mains cord supplied is not long enough, only use

an extension cord fitted with a protective earth

conductor.

qPlug the mains cord into a socket which has been

installed in accordance with regulations and is fitted

with a PE terminal.

For technical reasons, the heating unit is designed in the

factory to accommodate a voltage of 230 V or 115 V and in

accordance with your order. Check that the settings match

the local settings

Warm up time:

To obtain the precise results, the moisture analyzer must

warm up for at least 30 minutes

after initial connection to AC power or after a relatively long

power outage. Only after

this time will the moisture analyzer give the desired

performances of the moisture

determination.

Note: The analyzer must be carefully relevelled each time it

is moved in order to obtain accurate measurement
