Hardware
The MAX
®
4000 series instruments consist of:
•
A small oven that dries the sample.
•
A precision balance weighing mechanism with a resolution of 0.001 gram (0.0001
gram on the MAX
®
4000XL) and a full scale range of 40 grams that continuously
weighs the sample.
•
An input power module that can be set to 100-120 VAC or 220-240 VAC.
•
A large backlit color graphic LCD.
•
A 32-bit microprocessor that controls the test process, data handling,
communications, and performs all necessary calculations.
•
A lid fan that rapidly cools the heat chamber to reduce time between tests to increase
overall throughput.
•
A small fan in the lower chassis that maintains the electronics at a stable and low
temperature.
•
Connectors on the back panel include:
o
A USB Type A / Host port for connecting a USB printer, a USB keyboard, a
Nitrogen Control module, a bar code reader, and/or other accessories.
o
An RS-232 serial port for PC connection and Temperature Calibration Interface
(TCI) module connection.
o
An Ethernet connection for using the optional Web Server. (MAX
®
4000XL only).
o
A USB Type B / Slave port for connecting a computer to the MAX
®
4000.
The MAX
®
4000 is designed to remain powered up at all times. From a cold start, the
instrument requires a 60 minute warm up period for optimum accuracy. When the
instrument is not in use, select a test with an idle temperature of 25 ºC and keep the lid
down. The oven will remain cool and the LCD backlight will turn off after a period of
inactivity to conserve energy. Press any key or open or close the lid to restore illumination
to the LCD.
