Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Denver Instrument Company IR-200 Moisture

Analyzer as your rapid moisture determination system. This state-of-the-

art, microprocessor based moisture/solids analyzer using the principle of

LOD (Loss On Drying). Samples are heated using infrared heat to liberate

moisture or other volatiles while continuously weighing the sample with

an integral precision electronic balance until endpoint conditions are

met. This unique product combines the performance and sophistication

of modern laboratory instrumentation in an analyzer designed for plant

floor operation.

Unpacking Instructions

Denver Instrument moisture analyzers are supplied in a boxed container.

Both the analyzer and the supplied accessories package are contained

in the box.

• Carefully unpack the carton.

• Check the contents of the box and verify that you have received the

following: • IR-200 Moisture Analyzer

• Operation Manual

• Pan Support

• Pan Shield

• Tweezers

• Disposable Sample Pans (1 pkg/50)

• Glass Sample Pads (1 pkg/25)

Lift up the printer over and you will find a roll of printer paper already

installed. Keep all parts of the packaging in a safe place. This packaging

guarantees the best possible protection for the transport of your moisture

analyzer. See instructions for repacking.

Except as noted in this manual, this analyzer contains no user ser-

viceable parts. Do not disassemble this unit. Unauthorized repair

attempts may void the warranty. For service or technical assis-

tance, call your distributor listed on the back cover of this manual.

Selecting the Location

Select a suitable work area which will allow your analyzer to work with

accuracy and dependability:

• This product is intended for indoor use.

• Area should be relatively free from drafts and vibrations.

• Surface should be rigid and level.

• Allow adequate ventilation ( at least one inch of free space on all

four sides of the analyzer).

• Do not locate near magnetic materials, or near equipment which

incorporate magnets in their design.

• Avoid areas which have variations in room temperature or have

excessive room temperature. Room temperature above 40°C/104°F

or below 15°C/59°F could affect the operation and accuracy of the

moisture analyzer.

Memo:

Note

Safety Precautions

Warning!

Use of this product in a manner not specified by the manufacturer may

impair any safety protection provided by the equipment!

Every attempt has been made to make this analyzer safe and easy to

use. However, like any laboratory instrument respect must be given to the

operation of the analyzer due to environmental conditions, the nature of

samples being tested and of the chemicals which might be near the

analyzer. To avoid personal injury or damage to the analyzer, please

observe the following precautions:

• Read all instructions in this Operations Manual prior to operating your

moisture analyzer.

Always use tweezers or tongs to remove the sample pan after comple-

tion of an analysis. The test sample and the pan are hot.

Do not touch the metal surfaces inside the drying chamber while remov-

ing or placing a sample into the analyzer since the surfaces are very hot.

Do not touch the heater hood ventilation dome at any time because it

will be very hot during and after the analysis.

• Do not test flammable or toxic materials.

• Use the analyzer in a fume hood if the samples emit fumes which could

be toxic, an irritant or corrosive.

• Know where the fire extinguisher is located. Use only an extinguisher

rated for use with electrical fires.

• Keep the analyzer clean. Always unplug the analyzer and cool it thor-

oughly before cleaning or servicing.

• Wear safety glasses, protective clothing and gloves.

• Do not block the ventilation dome on top of the heater hood.

• If necessary, press the TEST key during a test to abort the test. The ana-

lyzer will return to the Standby temperature and STANDBY screen.

• Locate the unit away from flammable materials. Allow at least 1” of

space around the unit.

Help Feature

The analyzer incorporates a Help feature unique to moisture analyzer

instrumentation. Help offers the user immediate, context-specific

advice on setup and operation. While lacking the level of detail possi-

ble in the operating instructions, help is conveniently available at the

touch of a key and is always “on the right page”. While becoming

familiar with the analyzer operation, the user is urged to explore and

use the broad range of help information offered.

Pressing the Help key produces a full-screen help message, with a

maximum of eight lines of text and thirty characters per line. If a help

message is being displayed, pressing any key immediately returns the

analyzer to its status when the Help key was pressed.

Installation

Pan Shield and Pan Support

Install the pan shield and pan support into the drying cham-

ber. Lift up the heater hood with the handle. Place the pan

shield so that the center hole fits over the center ring in the

base. Next, slip the stem of the pan support through the cen-

ter ring and into the pan receiver hole. The pan support which

holds the sample during testing should be level. This can be

checked by spinning the pan support.

Connecting to a Power Source

The moisture analyzer contains a universal self-adjusting power

supply rated from 100-250 VAC 50/60 Hz. Check that this volt-

age matches your local line voltage. If your voltage is not

within this rating, do not connect the power cord to the power

supply then contact your local distributor.

To connect the analyzer to a power source:

1. First insert the appropriate power cord into the power input

on the rear panel of the analyzer.

2. Then plug the power cord into a convenient wall socket.

3. To turn the analyzer ON, place the ON/OFF switch on the

back of the analyzer into the ON position (marked "1" on the

switch). The analyzer will proceed through a self-diagnostic

routine and then display the STANDBY Screen. If the analyzer

displays any diagnostic warning, consult the troubleshooting

section of this manual, or your local distributor.

Display

The moisture analyzer features a 1.5" x 5.25" (8 line by 30 character)

back lit liquid crystal display (LCD). This large, dot addressable LCD

allows the analyzer to convey a rich variety of detailed information in

plain English descriptive prompts, menus or help messages. There are

four different types of screens which will be displayed: STANDBY, TEST,

SETUP and setup entry screens. A title line on the top of every screen

identifies the specific screen displayed along with the date and time.

STANDBY - This screen will be displayed before and after a test. The

STANDBY Screen provides access to the Setup, Recall and Test modes.

TEST - This is a set of

screens which prompt

the operator through

testing a sample

including zeroing the

balance, adding

sample, getting the

initial weight, testing

and printing the result.

SETUP - Two setup

menu screens, SETUP

1 and SETUP 2, pro-

vide menu options of

all the available setup

subroutines for cus-

tomizing the analyzer

to the specific appli-

cation.

Setup entry Screens -

These screens which are sub-screens to the setup subroutines, guide

the operator through the entry or selection of specific desired choices.

At any point in these screens, pressing the “Help” key produces a full-

screen, context-sensitive help message supplying additional details and

guidance.
