Safety Inspection
If there is any indication that safe
operation of the moisture analyzer is no
longer warranted:
§
Turn off the power and disconnect
the equipment from the wall outlet
immediately
> Lock the equipment in a secure place
to ensure that it cannot be used for the
time being
Safe operation of the moisture analyzer
is no longer ensured when:
– there is visible damage to the moisture
analyzer or power cable
– the moisture analyzer no longer
functions properly
– the moisture analyzer has been stored
for a relatively long period under
unfavorable conditions
– the moisture analyzer has been exposed
to rough handling during shipment
In this case, notify your nearest
Sartorius Service Center. Maintenance
and repair work may be performed
only by service technicians who are
authorized by Sartorius and who:
– have access to the required mainte-
nance manuals
– have attended the relevant service
training courses
We recommend that the moisture
analyzer be inspected according
to the following checklist by a qualified
Sartorius service technician:
– Resistance of the protective grounding
conductor < 0.2 ohm measured with a
commercially available multimeter
– Insulation resistance > 2 megohms
measured with a constant voltage of at
least 500 volts at a 500 kohm load
The duration and number of measure-
ments should be determined by a
qualified Sartorius service technician
according to the particular ambient and
operating conditions. However, such
inspection must be performed at least
once a year.
