3.2 Function description

METTLER TOLEDO Moisture Analyzers work on the thermogravimetric principle. At the start of the measurement
the Moisture Analyzer determines the weight of the sample, the sample is then quickly heated by the absorption
of the emitted infrared radiation. During the drying process the instrument continually measures the weight of
the sample and displays the weight reduction, up to the final result.
120 °C
With halogen heating technology, maximum heating power is quickly reached and allows use of high temper-
atures. Uniform heating of the sample material ensures repeatability of the drying results and makes it possible
to use small amounts of sample.
The METTLER TOLEDO Moisture portfolio comprises a range of moisture analyzers that differ from each other in
both hardware and software.
The following features are available for the HC103 model:
Robust and compact design, ideal for limited laboratory space.
Intuitive operation thanks to a large touchscreen and easy to navigate user interface. See [User interface

6 Operation
6.1 Operation orientation
The Moisture Analyzer is mainly operated via the touchscreen and keys of the terminal.
Before a measurement can be made, a method must first be defined. Methods define the parameters of a
measurement, such as the temperature to which the sample is heated or the criterion after which the
measurement is finalized. The optimum parameters differ from sample to sample. The instrument and METTLER
TOLEDO support you in finding a suitable method for your sample.
Once a method has been defined, the actual measurement can be started: The sample is placed in the sample
chamber and prepared. Then the heating module is closed and the sample is heated. Depending on the sample
and the method, the measurement can take from a few minutes to a few hours.
When the measurement is finished, the end result is shown on the terminal screen. The result of the
measurement can also be exported or printed.
The Moisture Analyzer can be used immediately for another measurement.

Navigation: Home > Method Definition > Method name > Main measurement parameters > Start weight

The start weight affects both the duration of the measurement as well as the accuracy of the results. A small
weight results in a shorter duration of the measurement but will decrease the accuracy of the result. With this
function you can define a start weight so that the samples are approximately of equal weight thus improving the
repeatability of the measurements. The weighing-in aid assists you in weighing-in the sample .
At most of the samples the target weight is in the range of 2–5 g. We recommend to cover the whole surface of
the sample pan with a thin uniform layer of sample.

Automatic
Your instrument is set in the factory to the automatic operating mode. This mode can be used for most kind of
samples. When closing the sample chamber, the weight of the sample is recorded and the measurement is
started.
Manual
We advise you to use the manual operating mode for samples which contain readily volatile substances. The
initial weight (wet weight) important for the determination of the moisture content is recorded. In the manual
operating mode you have time for further preparation of the sample (e.g. mixing with quartz sand or even
distribution of the sample) while weight losses due to evaporation during the preparation time are measured
from the outset. As soon as the sample is ready for drying, close the sample chamber. As soon as the sample
chamber is closed, drying starts. In the manual operating mode you can open the sample chamber during a
drying operation. In contrast to the automatic mode, drying will not be stopped but simply interrupted until the
sample chamber is closed again.

7.1.2.1 Creating a method with the Method Wizard

Introduction
The Method Wizard is a feature that offers assistance in developing a suitable moisture method for specific
samples. Based on the characteristics of your sample as well as a test of the drying temperature and switch-off
criterion, the Method Wizard is able to formulate a suitable method for your sample.
The Method Wizard guides you through the development of your moisture method in three simple steps:
1. Questionnaire: proposal of method parameters based on sample characteristics.
2. Temperature assistant: determination of drying temperature.

3. Test measurement: verification of temperature and selection of appropriate switch-off criterion
After each step of the Method Wizard you can decide whether to accept the current method settings or to
complete another step of the wizard. For steps 2 and 3, a reference moisture content value is needed.

7.2 Measurement
Navigation: Home > Measurement
Introduction
Before a measurement can be performed, a method first needs to be defined. To define a suitable method for
your sample, see [Method definition Page 30].
The instrument guides you through the steps during a measurement and displays results in real time. Never-
theless, please note the instructions in this manual, especially at the beginning of your work with the Moisture
Analyzer, as a correct execution of the work steps and the handling of the samples can have a great influence
on the results.
7.2.1 Performing a measurement

Before performing a measurement, a method has first to be defined. To find a suitable method for your sample,
see Method Definition.
The instrument must be connected to the power supply for approximately 60 minutes in order to reach
operating conditions.
To switch on the Instrument, press .
Selecting a method
1 Tap on Measurement.
The methods list is displayed.
2 Select the method to determine your sample.
The work screen of the method appears.

Placing the accessories
The display now prompts you to load the predefined accessories and tare the balance.
1 Place the empty accessories in the sample pan handler.
2 Place the sample pan handler in the sample chamber.
Ensure that the tongue of the pan handler fits exactly in
the slot of the draft shield element. The sample pan
must lie flat in the pan holder.
Note
We advise you to work with the sample pan handler at all
times. The pan handler is ergonomic, automatic
positioning, safe and provides protection against possible
burns due to the hot accessories.
Taring the balance

Note
Before the sample pan is placed into the sample chamber, the left corner of the display must show Open cover,
place sample pan and tare.
If the display shows Add sample, tap Cancel before placing the empty sample pan in the sample chamber.
The instrument tares the balance (Starting mode: Automatic).
2 After tarring, open the sample chamber.
After taring, the display prompts you to add the sample to the sample pan.
1 Add the sample to the sample pan. If you have defined
a start weight, weigh the sample using the weighing-in
aid.
3 Tap Start drying.
The drying process starts.

Drying process
The measurement process can be followed on the display.
The drying process is continuously displayed graphically.
The current temperature in the heating module is displayed as well as the elapsed drying time and the
current drying value.
The display shows the selected settings.
The drying process can be aborted by tapping on Stop drying.
At the end of the drying process you can read the moisture content of your sample on the display.
Note
The maximal drying time is 480 minutes (8 hours).
Removing sample
CAUTION
Sample, sample pan and other parts inside the sample chamber may still be hot.
Do not touch the place marked with the warning symbol.
The drying process is completed.

Open the sample chamber.
1 Carefully remove the sample pan handler from the
sample chamber.
2 • To perform a further measurement with the current
method, tap Next Sample.
• To perform a measurement with a new method, tap
Measurement.
• To return to the home screen, press .
Stop drying
When you stop the measuring process by tapping [Stop drying], you can choose between two options:
Abort measurement and save data
Already sampled data are stored and an entry will be made in the results. The result is marked as aborted.
Cancel
The process will be continued.
Adding a comment
At the end of a measurement you can add a comment to the result of the measurement. This comment is stored
in the measurement result and can be printed. A comment can only be entered before leaving the current
measurement.
1 To create a comment, tap Note.
The keyboard dialog appears.

2 Enter a comment.
3 Confirm with OK.
7.2.2 Optimum sample preparation

Preparation of the sample is decisive for the speed of the measurement process and the quality of the
measurement results.
Basic rules for the preparation of samples:
The amount of sample you select should be as small as possible but as large as necessary.
The more inhomogeneous the sample substance, the larger the amount of sample needed to obtain a
repeatable result.
Distribute the sample evenly over the sample pan. This increases the surface area of the sample and facil-
itates heat absorption.
With liquid, fat-containing, melting, highly reflecting samples or samples which form a skin on their surface
when heated, use the sample with the glass fiber filter available as optional equipment, see Accessories
and Spare Parts.
7.2.3 Work with weighing-in aid

The weighing-in aid can be defined for each method and facilitates weighing in of the sample to a target value.
This is particularly necessary if you require all the samples of a method you wish to process to have same
weight in order to improve the repeatability of the measurement results. In addition, the weighing-in aid can be
set as active so that the drying process cannot be started if the weight of sample is outside the set tolerance.
You are therefore compelled to weigh-in the correct quantity of sample. If all sample weighed are within
tolerances then this will improve the repeatability. The weighing-in aid is available only if start weight has been
activated.
For further information see [Settings of Start Weight Page 36].

7.4.1.3 SmartCal test

Target of the test
A SmartCal test is a quick and integral test of the instrument functions. SmartCalTM is a granular test substance
whose moisture content value, when heated at a specific temperature for a specific time, is precisely defined.
By performing a measurement with SmartCalTM and comparing the results to the control limits, it can be tested if
both the integrated balance as well as the temperature sensor work well together and if the instrument functions
correctly.
However, SmartCal tests do not supersede the recommended periodic weight or temperature tests.
There are four SmartCal tests with four pre-defined temperatures and two additional tests where temperature and
control limits can be defined by the customer.
Equipment
SmartCalTM Moisture Analyzer Test Substance.
For best results and easy handling, use a RHT sensor.
If no RHT sensor is available, the room temperature and relative humidity must be entered manually.

Certified testo RHT sensors are supported.
