Safety Notes
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTES contained in this manual emphasize critical instructions
as follows:
An operating procedure which, if not strictly observed, may result in personal injury or envi-
ronmental contamination.
An operating procedure which, if not strictly observed, may result in damage to the equipment.
Important information that should not be overlooked.
Electrical Safety
Hazardous voltages are present in the analyzer housings when power is applied to the system.
Always shut down power source(s) before performing maintenance or troubleshooting. Only a
qualified electrician should make electrical connections and ground checks.
Any use of the equipment in a manner not specified by the manufacturer may impair the safety
protection originally provided by the equipment.
Grounding
Instrument grounding is mandatory. Performance specifications and safety protection are void
if instrument is operated from an improperly grounded power source.
Verify ground continuity of all equipment before applying power.

NOTE
Sample Gas
Potential hazards of the sample gas should be taken into consideration before connecting the
sample to the analyzer. Personal protective equipment and proper ventilation should be used if
sample gas is toxic, flammable, or corrosive. Check the sample line and all connections for leaks
before powering up. Consult plant safety personnel for appropriate exhaust venting guidelines
for specific sample gas type.

Environmental Information (WEEE)
This AMETEK product contains materials that can be reclaimed and recycled. In some cases
the product may contain materials known to be hazardous to the environment or human
health. In order to prevent the release of harmful substances into the environment and to
conserve our natural resources, AMETEK recommends that you arrange to recycle this prod-
uct when it reaches its “end of life.”
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) should never be disposed of in a munici-
pal waste system (residential trash). The Wheelie Bin marking on this product is a reminder
to dispose of the product properly after it has completed its useful life and been removed
from service. Metals, plastics and other components are recyclable and you can do your part
by one of the following these steps:
• When the equipment is ready to be disposed of, take it to your local or re-
gional waste collection administration for recycling.
• In some cases, your “end-of-life” product may be traded in for credit towards
the purchase of new AMETEK instruments. Contact your dealer to see if this
program is available in your area.
• If you need further assistance in recycling your AMETEK product, contact
our office listed in the front of the instruction manual.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Read and follow the recommendations in this section to avoid performance variations or dam-
age to the internal circuits of this equipment when installed in harsh electrical environments.
The various configurations of the 3050 AM Moisture Analyzer should not produce, or fall victim
to, electromagnetic disturbances as specified in the European Union’s EMC Directive. Strict
compliance to the EMC Directive requires that certain installation techniques and wiring prac-
tices are used to prevent or minimize erratic behavior of the Analyzer or its electronic neighbors.
Below are examples of the techniques and wiring practices to be followed.
In meeting the EMC requirements , the various Analyzer configurations described in this man-
ual rely heavily on the use of metallic shielded cables used to connect to the customer’s equip-
ment and power. Foil and braid shielded I/O and DC power cables are recommended for use in
otherwise unprotected situations. In addition, hard conduit, flexible conduit, and armor around
non-shielded wiring also provides excellent control of radio frequency disturbances. However,
use of these shielding techniques is effective only when the shielding element is connected to
the equipment chassis/earth ground at both ends of the cable run. This may cause ground loop
problems in some cases. These should be treated on a case-by-case basis. Disconnecting one
shield ground may not provide sufficient protection depending on the electronic environment.
Connecting one shield ground via a 0.1 microfarad ceramic capacitor is a technique allowing
high frequency shield bonding while avoiding the AC-ground metal connection. In the case of
shielded cables the drain wire or braid connection must be kept short. A two-inch connection
distance between the shield’s end and the nearest grounded chassis point, ground bar or termi-
nal is highly recommended. An even greater degree of shield performance can be achieved by
using metallic glands for shielded cable entry into metal enclosures. Expose enough of the braid/
foil/drain where it passes through the gland so that the shield materials can be wrapped back-
wards onto the cable jacket and captured inside the gland, and tightened up against the metal
interior.
Inductive loads connected to the low voltage “Alarm Contacts” are not recommended. However,
if this becomes a necessity, adhere to proper techniques and wiring practices. Install an appro-
priate transient voltage suppression device (low voltage MOV, “Transzorb,” or R/C) as close as
possible to the inductive device to reduce the generation of transients. Do not run this type of
signal wiring along with other I/O or DC in the same shielded cable. Inductive load wiring must
be separated from other circuits in conduit by using an additional cable shield on the offending
cable.
In general, for optimum protection against high frequency transients and other disturbances, do
not allow installation of this Analyzer where its unshielded I/O and DC circuits are physically
mixed with AC mains or any other circuit that could induce transients into the Analyzer or the
overall system. Examples of electrical events and devices known for the generation of harmful
electromagnetic disturbances include motors, capacitor bank switching, storm related transients,
RF welding equipment, static, and walkie-talkies.
