Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Sartorius
moisture analyzer, the international
version of the field-proven Mark 3 from
Sartorius� This analyzer is a modular ana-
lytical instrument that can be configured
to meet various performance require-
ments� Each analyzer consists of two
parts, a control module and a heater
module� The control module is comprised
of a keypad and a display with the appro-
priate electronics� The heater module
consists of the electronic balance and
heating cavity� Up to more than one
heater modules may be interfaced with
a single control module� On initial power-
up, the control module will automatically
detect how many heater modules have
been connected and are powered on� If
more than one heater module is detected,
the analyzer will run in the Multi-module
mode�
The moisture analyzer is used as a quick

!Do not use this moisture analyzer
in a hazardous area/location; oper-
ate it only under the ambient con-
ditions specified in these instruc-
tions�
– The moisture analyzer may be
operated only by qualified persons
who are familiar with the properties
of the sample to be analyzed�
!Class A Warning
Warning: This is a class A product�
In a domestic environment this
product may cause radio interfer-
ence in which case the user may
be required to take adequate
measures�
4

!Make sure before getting started
that the voltage rating printed on
the manufacturer‘s label is identical
to your local line voltage (see the
section on “Connecting the Mois-
ture Analyzer to AC Power” in the
chapter entitled “Getting Started”)
– The analyzer comes with a power
supply that has a grounding con-
ductor
– The only way to switch the power
off completely is to unplug the
power cord�
– Position the power cable so that it
cannot touch any hot areas of the
moisture analyzer�
– Use only extension cords that meet
the applicable standards and have
a protective grounding conductor�
– Disconnecting the ground conduc-
tor is prohibited�
– Connect only Sartorius accessories
and options, as these are optimally
designed for use with your mois-
ture analyzer�
– Protect the moisture analyzer from
contact with liquid�
– If there is visible damage to the
moisture analyzer or power cord:
unplug the equipment and lock it
in a secure place to ensure that it

facturer’s warranty�
In case you have any problems with
your moisture analyzer:
$contact your local Sartorius office,
dealer or service center
Warning: Severe Burns!
– When setting up the moisture analyzer,
leave enough space to prevent heat
from building up and to keep your
analyzer from overheating:
– leave 20 cm (about 8 inches) around
the moisture analyzer
– 1 m (3 ft�) above the device
– Do not put any flammable substances
on, under or near the moisture analyzer,
because the area around the heating
unit will heat up�
– Be careful when removing the sample
from the chamber: the sample itself, the
heater module and the sample pan used
can still be extremely hot�
– Do not remove the heater module unit
during operation: the heating element
and its protective glass panels can get
extremely hot!
– Prevent excess heat build-up around the
analyzer�
5

Hazards for persons or equipment
posed by using specific samples:
Fire Explosion
– Flammable or explosive substances
– Substances that contain solvents
– Substances that release flammable or
explosive gases or vapors during the
drying process
In some cases, it is possible to operate
the moisture analyzer in an enclosed
nitrogen atmosphere to prevent the
vapor released during drying from
coming in contact with oxygen in the
surrounding atmosphere� Check on a
case-to-case basis whether this method
can be used, because installation of the
analyzer in too small an enclosed space
can affect its functions (for instance
through excessive heat build-up within
the analyzer)� When in doubt, perform
a risk analysis�
The user shall be liable and responsible
for any damage that arises in connec-
tion with this moisture analyzer�
Poisoning Caustic burns
– Substances containing toxic or caustic
or corrosive substances: These may
be dried only under a fume hood�
The value for the “lower toxic limit” in
a work area must not be exceeded�
Corrosion:
– Substances that release aggressive
vapors during the heating process
(such as acids): In this case we recom-
mend that you work with small sample
quantities� Otherwise, vapors can con-
dense on cold housing parts and cause
corrosion�
The user shall be liable and responsible
for any damage that arises in connec-
tion with this moisture analyzer�
– Sample Pans (Delivered with the
Analyzer):
The reusable metal pans are not
made of stainless steel� For this reason,
they are not resistant to corrosion�
These panscan be used only for pow-
der and granules (e�g� plastics) with very
low moisture content�
If the moisture content is higher, the
disposable aluminium pans (90 mm
diameter) must be used (see chapter
“Accessories”)�
6

Caution
Do not touch the metal surfaces inside
the drying chamber while removing
or placing a sample in the analyzer since
the surfaces are very hot�
Do not touch the heater hood ventila-
tion area at any time because this area
can be hot during and after a test�
