1.2.2 Serial Number Decoding

as of 2004 - example with SNR 1125010001
11 25 01 0001
0001 = consecutive number within a production week
01 = production week (01 - 52)
25 = production year 2004. Offset = 21 (26 = 2005) etc.
11 = production site Switzerland / 12 = production site China

up to 31.12.2003 production site Switzerland, example with SNR 1118420763

11 18 42 0763
0763 = consecutive number within a production week
42 = production week (01 - 52)
18 = production year 1999. Offset = 19 (24 = 2005)
11 = MTLabTec (Switzerland)

up to 31.12.2003 production site China, example with SNR 1202440020

12 02 44 0020
0020 = consecutive number within a production week
44 = production week (01 - 52)
02 = production year (05 = 2005)
12 = MTCS (China)

General Instructions for Repair

6.1 General Instructions for Repair

WARNING
Electrical shock hazard
Unplug power supply cable before disassembly.

6.1.1 ESD

WARNING
Electrostatic sensitive devices.
Always use antistatic kit when working on electronic
components.
• When removing and installing the Weighing cell, do not touch
detector board and cable contacts.
• If no workplace with ESD protection is available, always touch
the bottom housing or any other metal part of the balance be-
fore any contact with the electronics. Following this action, the
board and the balance are at the same electrical potential as
the person performing the work.
• Boards which are returned for repair must be packaged in the
original antistatic packaging regardless of the fault.
• EEPROMs kept outside the balance must be stored on con-
ductive foam.
• If soldering work is performed on the boards, a soldering iron
isolated from the power supply (isolating transformer) is rec-
ommended.

Components which are sensitive to electrostatic discharge are

marked with an ESD protection symbol.

the following Notes and Warnings.

NOTE: If components carrying power supply voltage have been

removed and reinstalled, check for correct ground connection:
• Make sure the grounding screws are tightly fastened with a
toothed washer in the correct place.
• Make sure there is a low-resistance connection between the
ground pin of the power supply plug and the grounded housing
parts.
• Make sure there is a direct connection from the ground pin of
the power supply socket to the grounding screw on the hous-
ing. Check with ohmmeter.

d WARNING
The bare connector (c) carries the 220 V power sup-
ply voltage. Install as shown. It must not lie outside
the heating module like connector (d).
Lead the cables through the corresponding open-
ings to avoid pinching them.

8. Annex

1. Purpose
This work instruction describes the procedures of Preventive Maintenance (PM) for halogen
and infrared Moisture Analyzers. In order to establish an unified service as well as meeting our
quality standards all METTLER TOLEDO trained and certified service technicians must follow
this instructions. Depending on the country specific situation additional work steps may be
performed, e.g. for Calibration Certificates or approved models.

2. Scope
Maintenance work is usually part of a METTLER TOLEDO Service contract. This SOP is the
framework for PM and has to be followed. Only factory trained and METTLER TOLEDO certified
technicians are allowed to execute preventive maintenance.

All Moisture Analyzers of the families HR, HG, HB, as well as MJ are covered by this Work
Instruction.

3. General Considerations
3.1 Recommended Service Intervals

The Service Interval is defined by the customer depending on:

- the importance of the Moisture Analyzers in the QA process
- importance of the results delivered by the Moisture Analyzers
- risk and liability of results
- use of Moisture Analyzer (quantitative)
- environment (dust, chemicals, etc.)

Recommendation
Depending on the accuracy required for the application and depending on the risk of the
process, in case of inaccurate measurements or a malfunction of the Moisture Analyzers, we
recommend the following maintenance intervals:

Risk: liability, life support Absent-Normal Severe

Cost: loss, damage Low-Medium High

Preventive Maintenance Interval Once a year Twice a year

3.2. Administrative

Before starting work it is recommended to:

- talk to the responsible person and explain the work to be done
- Verify requirements with supervisor, e.g. approval for cleaning, adjustments, etc. ask
responsible person for any other requirements
- Get familiar with inter-company safety requirements

3.3. Calibration tests

These tests are an extensive diagnosis of the instruments about its functioning and
measurement properties. Typically, these tests are performed by an authorized and trained
METTLER TOLEDO service technician and aim at the evaluation of the individual properties of
the Moisture analyzer, i.e. repeatability, eccentric load, linearity and sensitivity. The values
obtained of these properties can then be compared with the manufacturers Moisture Analyzer
specifications whether they are met. The Calibration Procedure is described in the Document
Test and Measurements for Mettler-Toledo (Calibration SOP) Doc.No:11793000.

4. Preventive Maintenance Procedures

In order to work efficiently and accurate minimizing errors document all findings the PM Report
“Preventive Maintenance Report for Moisture Analyzers “Doc. No: 11793050.

4.1 Identification

Identify Moisture Analyzer and data regarding to service contract.

4.2 Customer Comments/Input

Get comments and input of the users or supervisor working with the Moisture Analyzers.

4.3 Visual Inspection

4.3.1 Objective

Find broken or worn parts which may prevent a proper operation.

4.3.2 Procedure and Acceptance Criteria

Inspect Acceptance Criteria

- Housing - No crack, dirt nor loose screws.
- Keypad and display screen - No crack and dirt.
- Draft shield - Sits properly in the sample chamber
- Sample pan holder - Sits properly in the bearing sleeve
- Sample pan handler - Sits properly in the draft shield
- Dryer unit - Clear and no dirt, correct fit
- Halogen heating module - Protecting class is not broken
- Leveling feet - Easy movable
- AC adaptor and power cable - No broken insulation and dirt

4.4 Cleaning

4.4.1 Objective

Clean and check all components of the Moisture Analyzer

4.4.2 Procedure

Do not use Nitro Solvents

- Clean draft shield (if applicable)

- Clean sample pan holder (if applicable)
- Clean sample pan handler
- Clean housing parts and display screen

Preventive Maintenance p. 4 of 7

4.4.3 Acceptance Criteria

All components of the Moisture Analyzers are free of debris and dust that would prevent normal
function of the drying system.

4.5 Internal Inspection (if necessary)

4.5.1 Objective

An internal inspection is advised if any of the following circumstances are found

- dirty and dusty environment
- unstable weighing behavior of the Moisture Analyzer

4.5.2 Procedure and Acceptance Criteria

Any handling on electronic boards or components requires the use of appropriate ESD
precautions, e.g. ESD mats and bracelets.

Disconnect Power

Inspect Acceptance Criteria

- Check if dirt is present at any place - Clean
- Check boards, cables and cell - No connectors unplugged, no visible damage on the cell
- Check motors belts and rails - No dirt

4.6 Battery Check

4.6.1 Objective

Assure seamless operation of the Moisture Analyzer without loosing stored time or date
information.

4.6.2 Check Battery / Accumulator

The lifetime of the internal Lithium battery can be expected to be greater or equal 5 years. In
case the Moisture Analyzer is 5 years or older and the battery has not been changed, or the
battery is in place for equal or more than 5 years, replace it with same type (HR/HG
accumulator and HB/HL/MJ battery) (see SMA). All user settings, date and time get lost if
battery is discharged.

4.6.3 Acceptance Criteria

Either product is younger than 5 years or documented evidence shows that battery has been
changed.
