Condensation from humidity can form on the surfaces of a cold device when it is brought into a substantially warmer area. You should therefore let a device that has been disconnected from its power source acclimatize for approximately 2 hours before reconnecting it to the power. Operating Instructions Moisture Analyzer MA160... - Page 9 To protect against theft, the analyzer has a fastening point for a security lock if required. A Kensington key lock can be installed at the fastening point on the back of the analyzer if required. Operating Instructions Moisture Analyzer MA160...

Efficiency is lost during drying because as the moisture evaporates, it cools the sample surface. By contrast, infrared rays (IR rays) penetrate a sample without being impeded. Having reached the interior of a sample, they heat the sample directly.
