1. Introduction
Thank you for deciding to purchase a MB35 Halogen Moisture Analyzer from Ohaus. Behind your
instrument stands OHAUS, a leading manufacturer of precision Moisture Analyzers, Balances, Scales and
Indicators. An Aftermarket Department with trained instrument technicians is dedicated to provide you
with the fastest service possible in the event your instrument requires servicing.

1.1 Safety Precautions

Your Moisture Analyzer employs state of the art technology and meets the latest
demands regarding instrument safety. Improper operation can endanger personnel
and can cause property damage. For safe and dependable operation, please comply
with the following instructions:

— The Moisture Analyzer is used for determination of the moisture in samples.

Please use the instrument exclusively for this purpose. Any other type of use can
endanger personnel and damage the instrument or other property.

— The Moisture Analyzer must not be operated in a hazardous environment and

only under ambient conditions specified in these instructions.

— The Moisture Analyzer may be operated only by trained personnel who are
familiar with the properties of the samples used and with the handling of the
instrument.

— Your Moisture Analyzer is supplied with a 3-pin power cable with an equipment
grounding conductor is prohibited.

The Halogen Moisture Analyzer works with heat!

— Ensure sufficient free space around the instrument to avoid heat accumulation
and overheating (approximately 1 m free space above the instrument).

— Never place flammable materials on, below or next to the instrument as the area
around the dryer unit warms up.

— Exercise caution when removing the sample. The sample itself, the sample
chamber and any sample containers may still be very hot.

— During operation, you should never open the dryer unit as the ring-shaped
heating element or completely.
MB35 EN-3

1.1 Safety Precautions (Cont.)

Certain samples require special care!

With certain types of samples, there is a possibility of danger to personnel or damage
to property through:

Fire or explosion:
— Flammable or explosive substances;

— Substances containing solvents;

— Substances which release flammable or explosive vapors when heated. With

such samples, work at a drying temperature that is low enough to prevent the
formation of flames or an explosion and wear protective goggles. Should there be
any uncertainty regarding the flammability of a sample, always work with a small
sample (maximum. 1 gram). In such cases, never leave the instrument
unattended! In cases of doubt, perform a careful risk analysis.

Poisoning, burning:
— Substances which contain toxic or caustic components. Such substances may be
dried only in a fume hood.

Corrosion:
— Substances which release corrosive vapors when heated (e.g. acids). In the case
of such substances, we advise you to work with small amounts of samples as
the vapor can condense on cooler housing parts and cause corrosion. Please
note that the user always takes responsibility and assumes liability for damage
caused by use of the types of samples mentioned above!

— Never make any modifications or constructional alterations to the instrument and

use only original spare parts and optional equipment from Ohaus Corporation.

— Your Moisture Analyzer is a rugged, precision instrument – but you should still
treat it carefully; it will then provide you with many years of trouble-free operation.

— Please comply with all notes and instructions in these operating instructions.
Keep the instructions in a safe place where they are immediately at hand if any
points are unclear.

APPLICATION DISCLAIMER:
— Moisture determination applications must be optimized and validated by the user
according to local regulations. Application specific data provided by Ohaus is
provided for reference purposes only. Ohaus waives all liability for applications
based on this data.

4. Operating Your Moisture Analyzer

Once the Moisture Analyzer parameters have been set, moisture determinations can be made very
simply. There are three simple steps to perform:
1. Setting the drying temperature, 2. Setting the drying time, and 3. Preparing the sample.

4.3 Sample Preparation

Please keep in mind the importance of preparing your sample, the distribution of the sample on the
weighing pan, the type of sample and the temperature range. Remember, the greater the number of
uniform samples tested, the greater the accuracy of the results. Careful sample preparation is important
for best results. At a minimum, follow these steps.
 Results of substances which form crusts (e.g. glucose syrup) or pasty substances (e.g. butter) can be
considerably improved by mixing with quartz sand.

 For pasty, fat containing and melting substances, use of a glass fiber filter is advantageous to increase
the surface area of the sample.

 The use of a glass fiber filter can be useful for temperature-sensitive and skin forming substances. In
this case, the sample to be dried is covered by the filter and thus receives a ―new surface‖.

5. Care and Maintenance

In this section, you will learn how to keep your Moisture Analyzer in good condition and how to replace
expendable parts.

5.1 Cleaning Interior/Exterior Components

To continue to obtain precise measurements, it is advisable to clean the interior components at regular
intervals. Please note the following instructions for cleaning your instrument.

Disconnect the instrument from the power supply before cleaning.

Cleaning Temperature Sensor and Protective Glass

Check the protective glass and the temperature sensor for debris
which could impede the operation. If the glass appears dirty,
clean the surface facing the compartment using a commercial
glass cleaner. If the sensor is dirty, clean using a mild cleaning
agent.

Removing Glass for Cleaning

If the inside of the glass is dirty, open the cover and remove the
four cover screws as shown.

Remove the glass holder and glass from the cover and clean with
a commercial glass cleaner on both sides.

Reassemble after cleaning.

EN-18 MB35

5.2 Replacing Power Line Fuse

If the instrument display fails to light after switching it on, check the power outlet first. If power is
available, and the instrument fails to operate, the power fuse may be open (blown).

Disconnect the instrument from the power supply before cleaning.

Using a screwdriver, turn the fuse holder to the left

(counterclockwise) and remove the fuse.

Check the condition of the fuse. Replace blown fuse by those of the
same type with the same rated value (5 x 20 mm, T6.3H 250 V).

NOTE: If the fuse is good and power is available at the outlet, the
cord or instrument may be defective. Try a new cord. If this does
not work, the instrument should be sent back for servicing.

The use of a fuse of a different type or with a different value, or

bridging or shunting the fuse is not allowed and can possibly
cause a hazard to your safety and lead to instrument damage!

5.3 Resetting the dryer thermal overload device

NOTE: This procedure only applies to units that contain an access
hole to the thermal overload protection device. See illustrations.

If the dryer has overheated and the thermal overload protection

device has responded, it can be reset as follows:

Disconnect the unit from the power supply.

Lift the top cover straight up and remove the access hole cover
from the access hole using a flat head screwdriver.

Reset the overload device with your finger.

Replace the access hole cover and reconnect unit to power supply.
