Instruction Manual – ATS / BTS Moisture Analyzer
The TORBAL Moisture Analyzer is a sensitive and a delicate instrument that generates heat up to 160°C. Many
parts and surfaces of the moisture analyzer get extremely HOT. Always handle the analyzer with care and use
EXCESSIVE CAUTION when operating the moisture analyzer.
1.1 Important Safety Warnings:
WARNING:
•
Do not test flammables, explosives, or
things that produce dangerous or noxious
vapors.
•
Do not test unknown substances.
•
Do not place anything on top of the
analyzer’s venting grill (perforated top
cover of the unit).
•
Do not pass anything over the top of the
unit when drying is in progress. Never
pass fluids over the perforated cover (a
spill can be disastrous).
•
If a sample catches fire, first pull the
power plug from the power outlet, and
then extinguish the flame.
•
Always assume the Drying Chamber is
hot when you open the cover. As the
internal parts can retain heat, allow
adequate time for cooling before touching
any of the internal surfaces.
•
Never touch a halogen lamp unless you
are about to replace it, and you are sure
the analyzer is off and halogens have
cooled down.
