4.1 Notes on Calibrating the Moisture Analyzer
When calibrating the moisture analyzer using the heating adjustment set, there is an
examination of whether the moisture analyzer is adjusted to the ambient conditions
at the place of use. A basic heating adjustment has already been carried out at the
factory. This adjustment is valid for many installation sites under laboratory
conditions.
However, if you have particular ambient conditions, e.g. strong direct sunlight or
operation in an exhaust, then an inspection will be necessary.
The adjustment disk has a special coating, which absorbs almost all heat radiation.
This ensures that your measurements are reliably adjustable to all operating sites.
If calibration is carried out, then this must be calibrated in the ambient conditions
present. E.g.: If the moisture analyzer is operated in a room with exhaust, then the
moisture analyzer must also be calibrated at this place of use.

Operating Instructions YTM15MA 9
Operation
The following conditions should be taken into account
when calibrating the moisture analyzer:
− Carry out calibration in a temperate area. The room
temperature should be 20°C.
− Carry out calibration in a clean measurement
location.
− Use a stable and level surface (table).
− Drafts, e.g. from open doors/windows, should be
avoided.
If required: Shield the device.
− The frequent movement of persons in front of the
device should be avoided (unstable conditions).
− Avoid direct sunlight.
− Avoid gases or dusts.
− Establish a safety distance in the direct vicinity of
the device. At least 20 cm on all sides and at least
1 m above the device.
4.2 Transporting and Removing the
Adjustment Disk
CAUTION
Danger of burns due to hot adjustment disk!
t Always use the disk holder (removal tool) to
transport the adjustment disk or remove it from
the moisture analyzer after calibration.
t Allow the adjustment disk to cool on a clean,
temperature-resistant pad before or after
completion of a measurement.
t Only place the adjustment disk back into the
carrying case after cooling.
t Wear personal protective equipment.

10 Operating Instructions YTM15MA
Operation
NOTICE
Danger of damage to the adjustment disk!
The adjustment disk is calibrated according to a
factory-internal test procedure. If the adjustment disk
is damaged, it will lose its measurement accuracy.
Observe the following notes in order to maintain the
measurement accuracy:
t Do not remove or transport the adjustment disk
using a sharp-edged tool (e.g.: pliers or tweezers).
t Do not pull the adjustment disk out of the device
using the measurement cables.
t Do not transport the adjustment disk by holding it
by the measurement cables.
t Keep the adjustment disk clean. Clean any soiling
using water or a soft, lint-free cloth.
t Clean any coarse soiling using a brush.
t Do not use cleaning agents, e.g. solvents or similar
agents.
t Do not scratch the adjustment disk.
t Do not touch the adjustment disk with oily or
greasy fingers.
Remove the adjustment disk using the disk holder
t Squeeze the disk holder on the underside and place
centrally on the adjustment disk.
t Release the disk holder.
y The disk holder is connected with the adjustment
disk.
t Transport the adjustment disk.

Operating Instructions YTM15MA 11
Operation
Putting the adjustment disk down
t Transport the adjustment disk to the moisture
analyzer or the shelf.
t Squeeze the disk holder underneath.
y The adjustment disk is released from the disk
holder.
4.3 Need for Calibration/Adjusting the
Heating Module
In order to check the device, a performance test can
first be carried out (for performance test, see operating
instructions for the moisture analyzer). If this test is
passed, the function of the moisture analyzer is
guaranteed.
If the test produces two negative results in a row, then
as a next step the weighing system of the moisture
analyzer must first be checked (for calibration, see
operating instructions for the moisture analyzer).
If the performance test is failed again after checking
the weighing system, the heating module must be
calibrated (for this, refer to the next section). If
necessary, the heating module must be adjusted.
NOTICE
An adjustment of the heating module is an essential
procedure. Therefore, a precise analysis must be
performed before the calibration as any possible
incorrect calibration can have negative effects on the
measurement results.
After the calibration/adjustment of the heating
module, carry out another performance test. If the
performance test is again failed after calibration/
adjustment of the heating module, please contact
Sartorius Service.

Operating Instructions YTM15MA 13
Operation
Reasons for an incorrect measurement may be:
− Non-compliance regarding ambient conditions.
− Intense direct sunlight.
− Strong draft.
− "ReproEasy Pad" was not used correctly during the
performance test. E.g. the protective film was not
removed from the "ReproEasy pad" or the incorrect
side of the "ReproEasy pad" was placed on the pan.
− Weighing system is defective.
4.4 Calibrate Heating Module
(MA37|MA160)
Calibration of the heating module involves calibration
at a fixed temperature setting. The result is saved in
the calibration report.
Carry out the calibration at the subsequent installation
site in order to ensure precise calibration of the
heating module. The calibration takes at least
50 minutes.
System Requirements
− At least 30 minutes have passed since the last
application measurement.
− The device has cooled down with the hood open.
