CHAPTER 3 TROUBLESHOOTING
3.1 TROUBLESHOOTING
This section of the manual specifies problem areas of the MB45 Moisture Analyzer which can occur. Information is contained
to isolate specific problems using the Troubleshooting Guide. Make certain that the work area is clean and use care when
handling components of the Analyzer.
3.2.1 Diagnosis
1.Isolate and identify the symptom.
2.Review the probable causes in the order that they appear.
3.See the appropriate section of the manual to correct the malfunction.
4.Repair or replace the defective section of the Moisture Analyzer.
NOTE:
If more than one symptom is observed, it is necessary to
approach one area at a time, and also remember, that the
symptoms may be interrelated.
In the event that erratic or fluctuating weight readings are observed, it is necessary to isolate the problem to either the
mechanical area or the electronic area of the Moisture Analyzer.
If a problem arises that is not covered in this manual, contact:

4.2 TESTING
Before servicing the MB45 Moisture Analyzer, an operational test and various performance tests should be made to ascertain
whether or not the unit meets specifications. Turn the Moisture Analyzer on and allow it warm up for at least one hour before
performing these tests. Make sure the test area is free from drafts and the surface that the Moisture Analyzer rests on is
level and vibration free. It is recommended that a ASTM Class 1 Tolerance mass be used for the performance tests and
adjustments.

The dryer unit is heated to a temperature of 100C. You can observe the progress
on the display as the dryer temperature and count down period are displayed.
After 15 minutes, read the thermometer through the inspection window on the
cover and enter this temperature. Using the up/down arrow buttons, adjust the
display reading to agree with the thermometer. Use the left/right arrow buttons
to highlight ACCEPT NEW CAL, then press the Enter button. You have 10
minutes to make this adjustment, otherwise the calibration is terminated.

This is a two point adjustment (100C and 160C). The dryer unit now heats to
the second temperature (160C). Adjustment of the temperature is defined by
two points. Proceed exactly as you did for the first temperature. After you have
set the display to agree with the thermometer, highlight ACCEPT NEW CAL,
then press the Enter button. The display returns to ANALYZER SETUP.
WARNING: Be careful when removing the temperature calibration unit from the
dryer unit as it can be very hot. Allow it to cool down by opening the cover before
removing.
Remove the calibration unit. Replace the pan support and the pan handler in their
proper positions.

TOLERANCE

Centered Load

The following performance tests are used to evaluate the Moisture Analyzer operation before and after repairs. Each Moisture
Analyzer tested must meet the requirements specified in each test as well as the specifications listed in Table 1-1. Before
proceeding with the following tests, all the procedures starting with paragraph 4.2 must have been accomplished on the
Moisture Analyzer first. Tolerance values are expressed in counts. A Moisture Analyzer which passes each of these three
tests meets the manufacturing specifications.
Test
1.Tare the Analyzer. The reading on the display should be 0.000g.
2.Place a 20g mass on the center of the sample pan. Observe and record the reading when the stable indicator
come on.
3.Remove the mass. Reading should return to 0g +0.002g when the stable indicator is on.
4.Repeat this test for ten readings. If the standard deviation of the readings is less than 0.0015g, the Moisture
Analyzer passes the Precision Test.
CAUTION: Remove the mass from the pan after testing.
Adjustment
If the deviation for any set of readings (using the same mass placed on the center of the pan) is greater than 0.0015g, the
Moisture Analyzer does not meet the Precision Test specification. Inspect and correct the following areas:
1.Check for mechanical obstructions. Any foreign object touching any part of the moving pan linkage assembly
will cause a Moisture Analyzer to fail the Precision Test. Inspect and correct as necessary.
2.An error in the Off-Center Load Test can affect the results of the Precision Test. Inspect and correct if necessary.
See Off-Center Load Test.
3.Foreign material or debris located in the balance between the pan and the base will cause the Moisture Analyzer
to fail the test.
4.Environmental influences such as vibrations, drafts or a non-level surface can cause failures.
4-5
The Off-Center Load Test is used to determine whether displayed weight values will be affected by moving the sample to
different areas of the sample pan.
(NOTE: Due to the use of relative weighing in moisture analysis, off center load performance is not critical.)
Test
1.Place a sample pan on the pan handler.
2.Place 1/2 of the Moisture Analyzer capacity (20 gramms) in the center of the sample pan.
3.Press the TARE button to return the reading to zero.
4.Move the mass halfway (between the center and the edge) to the front of the sample pan. Note any differences
in the displayed weight reading.
5.Repeat this test for the back, left, and right positions.
6.Maximum allowable change in displayed weight readings is +0.004g for each of the four positions. If this reading
is exceeded, it usually indicates a defective Weighing Cell.
Test
1.Place a 20g mass on the center of the sample pan and note the reading.
2.If the displayed weight is greater than 0.002g higher or lower than the value of the applied mass, and recalibrate
the Moisture Analyzer. The Moisture Analyzer should now be calibrated in grams.
3.After completing the above adjustments, check the linearity at 10g and 20g. The displayed weight readings should
be equal to the applied mass. Tolerance is +0.004g for each of the respective weight readings. If the displayed
weight values are in excess of tolerance count, the Weighing Cell must be replaced.
Electrostatic damage is difficult to detect, because the faults it causes are not clear cut. MOS switching transistors with
electrostatic damage have substantially higher, thermically unstable leakage currents. As a result, the Moisture Analyzer
balance drifts more and the display can fluctuate similar to when there is a draft.
To avoid electrostatic damage during production, conducting floors, controlled air humidity, and EMC mats are used. When
servicing is carried out it is therefore also advisable as soon as the instrument is opened to neutralize electrostatic
charges.
