Analyzer Operation
Standby Mode
After the self-diagnostic routine has been completed on power-up or
after a sample test has been completed, the analyzer goes into the
Standby mode. (Factory default is 60°C.) During standby, the tempera-
ture will go to the set standby temperature. The standby temperature is
set for each drying procedure in the Develop subroutine. While in the
Standby mode, the analyzer will display the STANDBY Screen. The ana-
lyzer will stay at the standby temperature until the Conserve mode
activates, turning OFF the heaters. The factory default for the Conserve
mode to turn OFF the heaters, is 60 minutes after the test. This can be
changed in the Conserve subroutine section described on page 33.
The STANDBY Screen will change to the CLOCK Screen when the
standby temperature turns off. The backlight of the LCD display will
also turn OFF automatically. The backlight OFF setting can be
changed in the Conserve subroutine. The default setting is 5 minutes.
The bottom line of the STANDBY Screen indicates the routines available
to the operator. In addition, the operator can always choose to test a
sample by pressing the Test key.
• Test - This routine is used to analyzer samples. On initial installation it
will use the Factory 1 program as the drying procedure. Otherwise, it
will use the last program which has been recalled in the Recall rou-
tine.
• Recall - This routine allow the operator to recall a stored drying pro-
cedure which has previously been saved. On initial delivery the unit
will have five factory default programs stored in program # one
through five. See Factory Default Settings screen on the following
page.
• Setup - This routine allows the operator to make changes to the ana-
lyzer including editing or developing new drying procedures, access-
ing stored data for printout or statistical evaluation, changing serial
interface parameters, setting date and time, formatting the results
printout, and many other parameters to customize the analyzer spe-
cific to an application or particular usage.
• Operator - This routine provides access for the user to select their
name from a list and will be included on the printout under operator.
Specific operator names must first be entered in the SETUP PRINTER,
CUSTOM subroutine.

In addition, several other functions are available from the STANDBY
Screen. Pressing the 0key displays the last test result on the TEST DONE
Screen. Pressing the Paper Feed key will print the last result and pressing
the Zero key displays the BALANCE screen.
Test Mode
Analyzing a sample on the moisture analyzer is intended to be simple
and rapid. However, to take full advantage of the performance and ver-
satility of the moisture analyzer the drying procedure should be optimized
for the sample material being tested and the analyzer settings estab-
lished for your conditions and objectives. To establish an optimized drying
procedure, see the Applications section of this manual or contact your
local distributor for assistance. To set up the analyzer to your specific
requirements, refer to the Setup Menus section, page 13.
Most samples can to tested for moisture using the Factory 1 default pro-
gram with reasonable results. However, if your distributor has tested your
sample and has developed an optimized drying procedure, you will first
want to establish a new program with these conditions as described in
the Develop subroutine section.

A. To test a sample, perform the following:
1). Open the heater hood using the handle on the front and place one
pan onto the pan support. Then close the heater hood.
2). At the STANDBY Screen, press the Test key. The display will change to
the SAMPLE ID Screen. (The Sample # prompt maybe turned OFF in
the Printer subroutine.)
3). Enter a sample ID with the number keys up to 16 digits and then press
the Enter key. (If a mistake is made on entry, pressing the Zero key will
erase the entry and allow a new entry.) The display will change to the
ZERO Screen showing zero grams and then prompt for the heater
hood to be opened and to add sample to the pan. (The Zero key is
functional if the balance should need re-zeroing.)
4). Open the heater hood. Begin adding sample. The display will show
the sample weight in grams. Close the heater hood when your
desired sample weight is reached. As the heater hood is closed, the
test will begin automatically and the display will change to the Test
screen. The TEST Screen will display the percent weight loss in the
selected units, the program # and name, the temperature and the
elapsed time. The printer will also begin printing the result report.

5). The analyzer will process in determining the moisture in the sample
using the set drying procedure. When the endpoint condition is met,
the test will stop automatically. The Testing display will show the dry-
ing chamber temperature equilibrate at the set temperature.
To stop the test during analysis, press the Test key.
At the end of the test, the screen will change to the PRINT RESULT Screen.
After the result printout is completed, the display will return to the STAND-
BY Screen.
6). Raise the heater hood and carefully remove the hot sample with
tweezers or tongs.
Warning
The sample during and after analysis is hot. Remove sample with care.
Do not touch any internal part of the drying chamber or the dark grey
circular dome on the top of the drying chamber due to excessive heat.
Recall
Drying procedures can be stored as programs and then recalled to pro-
vide easy access to a procedure which is used frequently. This eliminates
having to reenter the test parameters to run a test. Up to 99 drying pro-
cedures can be stored. Creating and storing a new drying procedure is
described under the Develop subroutine. Each program is stored by
number, 1-99, and an alphanumeric program name (max. 19 charac-
ters). On initial setup, there will be 5 default programs stored under the

1). Press the Enter key to exit. The analyzer will return to the STANDBY
Screen.
Statistics
The Statistics subroutine allows the analyzer to store the last 255 results
and to print or perform statistical calculations on all or selected results.
Data can be selected manually or automatically by date range, unit or
program #. Statistics include the count, average, standard deviation
(SD), relative standard deviation (RSD) and minimum and maximum val-
ues.
When the result memory is at full capacity (255 results), the analyzer will
automatically delete the oldest result as a new test is completed. Only
completed tests are added into the data storage. Therefore, a test
which has been stopped during analysis, will not be added to the data
storage. The Statistics subroutine is ON in the default factory setup.
However, statistics can be turned OFF, preventing data from being
stored. Statistics can be turned back ON when needed.

Definition of Statistics:
Count = the number of test results selected for statis-
tical evaluation
Average = Sum of test results/Count
Standard Deviation (SD) = Σ(X - X1)2
N-1
Relative Standard
Deviation (RSD) = Standard Deviation/Average x 100
Minimum = the smallest value of the selected test results
Maximum = the largest value of the selected test results
A. To enter the STATISTICS subroutine, perform the following:
1).Press the 1key for STATISTICS from SETUP 1 menu. The screen will display
the Statistics menu as shown:
B. To select results for statistical evaluation or printing of data, perform the
following:
