1Introduction
1.1 Designated use
The GRANOLYSER is an NIR analyzer (NIR = near infrared) for whole grain samples, such as various cereal
types, leguminous crops (pulses) and oil seeds.
The sample is filled into the instrument. The measurement is started and settings are made using the
integrated touchscreen.
The analysis parameters are defined visually. An integrated weighing system is used to determine the bulk
density (Variant HL). Various parameters are defined depending on the selected product:
•Moisture, protein, sedimentation index (Sedi), gluten, oil content, starch
•Variant HL: Bulk density = mass per hectoliter [kg/hl]
The GRANOLYSER has two USB interfaces and one RJ45 interface for outputting and processing the
measurement results.
The GRANOLYSER is designed as a portable instrument with a mains plug for indoor use (laboratory
environment).
Private use of the GRANOLYSER is not allowed.
NOTICE The GRANOLYSER is exclusively intended for the indicated purpose.
Any other use beyond this definition, or conversion of the GRANOLYSER without written
consultation with Pfeuffer GmbH, is regarded as not in accordance with the designated
use.
Pfeuffer GmbH will not be liable for any damage resulting from this! The risk is the
responsibility of the owner alone.
The GRANOLYSER is only allowed to be taken into operation if it can be ensured that all
safety instruments are functioning.
The GRANOLYSER is not suitable for measuring liquid and sticky products, as well as
fine flours.
The GRANOLYSER is not intended for operation in potentially explosive atmospheres.
The samples to be used in accordance with the designated use of the GRANOLYSER are
obtained by the owner.
Correct treatment of these materials and the associated risks
are exclusively the
responsibility of the owner.
The owner must provide information about dangers and disposal.
The designated use also includes complying with the operating instructions as well as the maintenance
and servicing conditions as defined in these operating instructions.
These operating instructions do not release the owner from the responsibility to develop and apply, or
have applied, health and/or safety regulations appropriate for the requirements of the overall system,
and to monitor compliance with the same.


In an emergency, switch off the G
RANOLYSER
using the main switch, position 0.
Disconnect the mains cable from the electrical power supply, or pull out the power
coupling (IEC 60320 C13).
Secure the mains cable appropriately against unauthorized reconnection by placing
it where it can be monitored continuously.
Ensure that the mains cable is never a tripping hazard or that someone can become
caught or step on it.
Electrical connections, see chapter 2.2.
Arrange the plug/socket combination at the place of installation so that it can be
observed clearly and reached quickly in an emergency.
Protective covers
Test
The G
RANOLYSER
is protected during operation by its complete housing and the
draw to prevent reaching into the machine.
Interval
Method

If the drawer is withdrawn during the measuring procedure, the motor and the
conveyor stop immediately!
2.2 Electrical connections
The GRANOLYSER must only be operated with the specified voltages. The fuse must always be replaced
with identically specified values, see chapter 3 and the specifications on the type plate.
The instrument is in protection class I, and may only be connected to a socket which
has been grounded in accordance with regulations with a ground wire. The instrument
may only be operated on a power supply that is protected by an RCCB (Residual Current
operated Circuit Breaker).
2.3 Connecting USB devices
NOTICE The two USB interfaces on the GRANOLYSER are only suitable for connecting USB devices
with low power consumption, such as data memory devices, barcode scanners or
keyboards.
To avoid damage and overheating on the GRANOLYSER, do not connect USB devices that
require high power consumption. That means no charging of smartphones, tablets, etc.
2.4 Operating and danger areas on the GRANOLYSER
Operating area
Make sure the installation height is sufficient (according to the stature of the operating personnel). Use a
suitable base for this (e.g. table) so that the operating personnel can reach the drawer ergonomically.
