Installation
AQUALAB VSA QUICK START

Using the Moisture Analysis Toolkit (MAT) Installer executable
(*.exe) file (meter.ly/vsa-mat), open the MAT application and click
through the installation wizard to download the MAT software.
Please enter registration key exactly as shown (including dashes).
Be sure to keep registration key with the instrument. Each key can
be used multiple times. Refer to the AQUALAB VSA User Manual

Preparation
Inspect and verify that all AQUALAB Vapor Sorption Analyzer (VSA)
components arrived in good condition.
The VSA needs to be on a stable, level surface in order for the scale
to work properly. Locate an area where temperature and humidity
remain fairly constant so reading accuracy is not adversely affected.
Use the bubble level and adjustable feet on the VSA to verify the
instrument is level.
