Page 9: Basic Safety Precautions
2. BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 2.1. Warning Symbols and Signals Safety precautions are marked with special descriptions and warning signs. They inform and warn an operator of possible dangers. Ignoring the safety warnings may cause injuries, damage of the moisture analyzer, its inappropriate operation and errors of measurements. - Page 10 Drying chamber cannot be opened during operation (drying process). It is due to the fact that a halogen lamp and its glass shield may reach the temperature of up to 400°C. When setting up the moisture analyzer leave enough space to prevent heat from building up and to keep your analyzer from overheating.

Page 69: Samples Preparation
MAX2 moisture analyzer is comprised of two elements: a precision balance and a drying chamber. Compared to standard moisture content determining methods, the measurement with application of RADWAG moisture analyzer is much quicker and does not require additional mathematical calculations (a result of moisture content is previewed on an ongoing basis during product testing process). - Page 70 Samples quantity Increasing number of tested samples also increases statistic measurement certainty. Quantity of samples depends on uniformity of tested material, its purity, accuracy of applied measuring method and anticipated accuracy of obtained results. Mechanical disintegration of the material intended for measurement Applied disintegrating method should be selected appropriately to tested material.

Page 71: Selection Of Drying Process Parameters
Liquid substances Semi-fluid substances are dried in their natural form. Large amount of grease (fat) occurring in some of substances makes moisture content determination difficult. In such case it is recommended to use additional components, which increase sample’s active surface and aid moisture content releasing process from a sample. -
Page 72: Drying Temperature
16.3. Drying Temperature Drying temperature has the largest impact on drying time. Temperature value depends on type of dried substance. Too low drying temperature causes too low moisture content evaporation (under-dried sample), and consequently unnecessary extending of measurement time. Too high drying temperature causes burning of dried sample (sample overheating, chemical decomposition). -
Page 73: Drying Time
with moisture content over 15%. Temperature and heating time in each step have to be adjusted by tests. 16.5. Drying Time Drying time is set by selecting one of available finish mode criteria. This means that a moisture analyzer must meet pre-set criterion (mass over time, time) to automatically finish the drying process. -
Page 74: Drying
• selecting appropriate finish criterion, which enables to finish the drying process in an optimum point of the drying step, • selecting constant drying time usually ensures correct and repeatable results, • maintaining constant sample start mass. DRYING DRYING mode enables to determine moisture content of a given sample. The moisture content value is obtained via evaporation of moisture from sample placed inside the drying chamber. -

Page 103: Communication Protocol
COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL General Information A. A character based communication protocol (moisture analyzer-indicator) is designed for establishing communication between a RADWAG moisture analyzer and a peripheral device. B. The protocol consists of commands sent from a peripheral device to the weighing instrument and responses from the weighing instrument. -
