    25. ERROR MESSAGES 26. USE OF MOISTURE ANALYZER For measurement temperatures ranging from 161°C to 250°C the time of maintaining the temperature during the measurement is estimated proportionally, ~15 hours for 161°C – 10 min for 250°C. For a drying process carried out in 250°C, Max temp is maintained for 10 min, next the program automatically lowers the temperature (drying is not interrupted) to 160°C.
