Setting up the Analyzer Setting up the Analyzer For optimum performance from your MA-1040 analyzer, keep the following in mind when selecting a location for its placement: • Avoid locations near strong magnetic fields, such as transformers or power lines carrying high currents.
5. Take an average of the three readings (from steps 3 and 4). The average for the three readings should be within 1% of the value printed on the reference standard, or ± 0.5 PPM, whichever is greater. If the reading is outside of this range, contact Particulate Systems for assistance. 6. Remove the reference standard.
MA-1040 Magnetic Analyzer Cleaning the Sample Holder Cleaning the Sample Holder Sample holders should always be clean and dry before adding sample. Use a mild soap and water to clean the sample holder; a soft-bristled brush may also be used.
Performing the Analysis MA-1040 Magnetic Analyzer Performing the Analysis After your sample has been weighed and the weight recorded, you can start the analysis. 1. With the sample chamber empty, adjust the ZERO control to 000.0. 2. Adjust the WEIGHT-GRAMS control to the recorded weight of the sample.
