Intended Use
The disk for temperature adjustment is used for
calibrating and adjusting the temperature of
Sartorius moisture analyzers MA45
,
MA50, MA100
or
MA150
. Equipment that has been calibrated and
adjusted with the temperature adjustment disk
can be used as reference devices or as inspection,
measurement and testing equipment. The printed
calibration record can be used as proof of
compliance with the standards for inspection and
measuring equipment. Every temperature adjust-
ment disk has a serial number (ref. ID no.) and a
factory calibration certificate. The quality of the
temperature adjustment disk should be similarly
tested. We recommend that you have the tempera-
ture adjustment disk tested once a year. For this
purpose, you must send the temperature adjustment
set back to Sartorius.
The moisture analyzer should be adjusted:
– at room temperature (approx. 20°C)
– under the same ambient conditions
– at regular intervals defined by the user
– using the same complete temperature adjustment
set.
The moisture analyzer should be set up on a clean
workbench in surroundings that are supplied with
clean air. A change in any of the following ambient
conditions will affect the results obtained:
– Sunlight
– Drafts caused by open windows or doors
– Air conditioning or fume hoods
– Gases or dust particles.
Leave a space of at least 20 cm around the moisture
analyzer and any other objects in the direct vicinity
of it, and at least 1 m above the moisture analyzer.
After you have started the analyzer, it will carry out
calibration and adjustment fully automatically.
Important Note:
Read these operating instructions carefully before
calibrating and adjusting the temperature.
