3. WORKROOM AND BASIC OPERATION GUIDELINES o +40 C o +04 F o +0 C +50 of h w Operate the device in a room where the temperature ranges between 0 40 C (50 04 F) and where the relative humidity is below 80%. Place the balance on a solid surface to ensure stability. To obtain stable and repeatable weighing results, an anti-vibration table is recommended. h 00 cm (39 ) w 0 cm (8 ) w Keep space free around the device: h = min. 00 cm (39 in.), w = min. 0 cm (8 in.). Place the balance away from heat sources. Avoid exposing the balance to the sunlight. Avoid exposing the balance to a magnetic field. Do not weigh magnetic substances. Avoid air drafts and air movements at the workstation. Make sure that the balance is placed on an even surface. Do not place the balance on an unstable surface exposed to shocks and vibrations. Not intended for usage within EX zones. Not intended for weighing explosive or flammable substances. Not to be opened in the course of operation since the heating components reach very high temperature. Be extremely careful while taking the sample out. The sample and the moisture analyzer elements may be hot.
4. ACTIVITIES TO BE DONE PRIOR TO OPERATION Grounding spring check 3 Check the grounding spring. Make sure that the grounding spring juts slightly out of the hole. Remove the base insert. Install the base insert. 5. COMPONENTS ASSEMBLY 3 Slowly rotate the cross-shaped holder, keep rotating until the holder sinks deeper. 4 5

8. BASIC OPERATIONS 8.. Adjustment It is recommended to carry out adjustment operation prior to running the WEIGHING mode (adjustment is not required for DRYING). External adjustment is carried out using an external mass standard of the right accuracy and weight value, which value depends on balance type and capacity. Prior to adjustment prepare the right mass standard. You are recommended to use mass standard of class F or F. View the table and select the mass standard you need. Caution! Make sure that the disposable weighing pan has been installed (read point 5.5.). Do not close the drying chamber in the course of adjustment. Balance model Mass standard [g] MB-T-50H 50 MB-T-50 50 MB-T-0 00 Products Press "Parameters button. 3 0 Respective parameters list is displayed, select Adjustment option. 4 Unload the weighing pan and press button for confirmation. Press "External Adjustment parameter. 5 6 Wait for completion of the start mass determination process. Load the weighing pan with mass standard and press button for confirmation.
7 8 Unload the weighing pan. Wait for the process completion. 8.. Zeroing The balance has been zeroed. Unload the weighing pan and press "Zeroing" button. 8.3. Taring When the weighing result has been displayed press "Tare" button. The balance has been tared.
8.4. Drying profiles / Drying process finish modes Press to view list of drying profiles. Drying profiles: Press to view list of drying process finish modes. Drying process finish modes: Standard: the most precise moisture content measurement Automatic: triggered in accordance with automatic settings Fast: for samples with moisture content between 5% - 5% Manual: triggered manually by the user Mild: for substances sensitive to intense heat impact Time-defined: triggered after passage of declared time Step: for substances with moisture content higher than 5% User-defined: triggered in accordance with user settings
9. SETTINGS Some balance settings are accessible for Administrator exclusively. Prior to balance parameters setup, log in as the Administrator. 9.. Administrator's login Press "Operators" button. Users list is displayed, select Admin option. 4 3 Press 3 button to activate numeric keyboard. Enter "" password and press button to confirm. You have logged in the administrator.
9.. User settings Prior to balance users setup, log in as the Administrator. Press "Databases" button. 3 Select Operator database. 4 Press "Add" button. 5 Select "Name" parameter. 6 Enter user name. 7 Following the above procedure, set remaining parameters: Code: Enter user ID Password: Enter user password Access levels: Set respective access level (user, advanced, admin) User name has been entered.
9.3. Proximity sensors setup Prior to proximity sensors setup, log in as the Administrator. You can assign the proximity sensors with different functions for each working mode (the sensors will trigger different operation for each working mode). The diagram presents sensors setup for the weighing mode. Parameters list is displayed, select Working Modes parameter. Press "Parameters" button. 3 4 Select Proximity Sensors parameter. Select Weighing parameter. 6 5 Select Right Sensor parameter. Select function that is to be assigned to the right proximity sensor. In order to set left sensor function repeat steps 5 and 6, this time select Left Sensor parameter. Following the above procedure you can also set sensors for remaining working modes.
0. SAMPLES AND DRYING METHODS 0.. Preparing samples Optimal sample structure and size are crucial features influencing measurements speed, accuracy and repeatability. Solids: - sample crushing necessary, - sample of low weight required, - large sample surface. Samples with low moisture content: - sample of heavy weight required (0-5 g). Liquids: - large sample surface. 0.. Handling hazardous samples Some sample types require particular caution! They may pose risk for people and objects. It is the moisture analyzer operator who is responsible for potential loss being a result of such samples use. Substances that in the course of heating may emit vapours causing corrosion (e.g. acids). Apply small amount of samples, this helps to prevent risk of depositioning of vapour over cool housing components. Explosive and flammable substances and substances that in the course of heating emit flammable vapours. Apply small amount of samples and lower drying temperature, this helps to prevent flames from rising and explosion. Use glasses and protective gloves. Toxic and corrosive substances and substances that in the course of heating emit toxic vapours. Due to risk of eyes, skin and lungs irritation, and due to risk of death, such samples must be dried in fume cupboard.
