Overview

Do you need a moisture analyzer that not only determines moisture or dry matter content with impressive accuracy, but also performs a digital audit, responds to your voice commands and sends you light messages? If so, learn about the functionality of the ELLIPSIS series of moisture analyzers:

The MA 5Y Moisture Analyzer offers you four drying profiles : standard, mild, fast and step. The standard profile is the usually used drying profile. It allows the most accurate determination of moisture content. The mild profile is designed for drying substances that are sensitive to the rapid heat released by the filaments, which heat full power at the initial stage of the process. An example of such a substance is leather . You will use the fast profile for samples with significant moisture content – of the order of even several tens of percent. The step profile will be ideal for drying substances that contain more than 15 percent moisture . Within this profile you can define any three temperatures. You will choose the values of temperature and duration of heating experimentally.

The drying temperature determines the duration of the process. Its value depends on the type of material. If the temperature is too low, it will under-dry the sample and, consequently, unnecessarily increase the measurement time, while if it is too high, it will cause a burning effect on the material. The drying temperature for the traditional (oven) method is determined by industry or factory standards. If there are no standards, you will select the temperature experimentally. The device allows drying at temperatures of up to 160 °C.

The MA 5Y Moisture Analyzer has four finish modes : automatic, manual, time-defined and user-defined. Automatic mode You define the moisture loss limit value in 60 seconds. When the moisture analyzer reaches the set criterion, the measurement will automatically end. Manual mode You terminate the measurement yourself by pressing the STOP button. Time-defined mode The measurement ends after the set time has elapsed regardless of the result. You have up to 99 hours 59 minutes to manage! User-defined mode When you remove all volatiles from a sample, by definition, its mass should be constant. During drying, the dry mass of the sample is defined by a condition: if the mass of the sample is stable within 1 mg during the observation time (Auto 1-5), we consider that all volatile components have been removed from its structure.

Bigger screen – 10’’ – means more information in one place. On the new ELLIPSIS terminal , you will see up to 3 screens, widgets, graphs, statuses, notes, handy measurement history . Ensures that your moisture analyzer is ready for use. What is more, it informs about the need for a moisture analyzer inspection or a periodic audit of the moisture analyzer’s accuracy and sensitivity.

The light colour will tell you about status, process results, procedures, or alerts.

is one of the most popular communication protocols in industrial automation. Implementing it in the 5Y balances and CY10 scales makes the devices of this series friendly to automation integrators. A balance or scale in a Modbus system is a slave device and performs tasks specified by the master device which is most often a PLC. Protocol Modbus TCP/IP in the 5Y balances and C10 scales enables, among other things, the realization of mass readout, zeroing and tare functions of the device, as well as tare settings and MIN and MAX thresholds .

Maintenance contract — AxiTech provides planned preventive maintenance for MA 210.5Y Moisture Analyzer from Radwag: scheduled visits, safety checks, periodic calibration and a documented service report, backed by a contractual response time.

Troubleshooting, repair and spare parts — our laboratory balances engineers diagnose and repair MA 210.5Y Moisture Analyzer on site or in the workshop, fit genuine spare parts and recommission the equipment after performance verification.

Maintenance contracts for MA 210.5Y Moisture Analyzer

AxiTech provides preventive maintenance contracts for MA 210.5Y Moisture Analyzer. Each contract fixes a schedule of planned visits in which our biomedical engineers inspect the equipment, replace wear parts before they fail, and verify that it still performs inside the manufacturer’s tolerances.

Every visit includes calibration and performance verification, and closes with a documented maintenance report you can present during an accreditation audit. Spare-parts availability and a guaranteed response time are written into the contract, so a breakdown never leaves a department waiting for an answer.

Laboratory analysers are usually maintained every three to six months, with calibration and quality-control verification at each visit so that results stay traceable.

  • Planned preventive maintenance visits at a fixed interval
  • Calibration and performance verification against the manufacturer’s specifications
  • A documented maintenance report after every intervention
  • Guaranteed availability of spare parts and consumables
  • A contractual response time when the equipment fails

Troubleshooting and repair for MA 210.5Y Moisture Analyzer

When MA 210.5Y Moisture Analyzer fails, our engineers start with a structured diagnostic: error codes, electrical and mechanical checks, and a functional test against the equipment’s own specification. That tells us whether the fault is a consumable, a worn part or a board-level failure before any part is ordered.

Straightforward faults are repaired on site so the department loses as little time as possible. Anything that needs a workbench, a full strip-down or a specialised spare part goes to our workshop and comes back only after a complete post-repair test and, where the equipment requires it, recalibration.

Faults we see most often on this type of equipment

On analysers most faults come from the fluidics — blocked probes, worn pumps and tubing, leaking valves — followed by optical drift and reagent-handling errors.

Troubleshooting

How to troubleshoot MA 210.5Y Moisture Analyzer

Work through these checks before you escalate. They are the same first-line sequence our biomedical engineers run on arrival, and they either clear the fault or narrow it down enough that the intervention starts with the right spare part in the van.

  1. Capture the fault before you touch anything: write down the exact error code or message, the serial number from the rating plate, what the operator was doing and whether the fault clears on a restart.

  2. Review the quality-control and calibration history. A result that has drifted across several runs points at calibration or reagents; a sudden shift almost always points at the fluidics.

  3. Inspect the fluid path — probe, tubing, pump, valves and waste line — for blockage, crystallisation or leaks, and confirm reagent and wash levels together with their expiry dates.

  4. Confirm the ambient conditions the method depends on: bench temperature, ventilation, a level and vibration-free surface, and a stable mains supply.

  5. If the fault is still there, escalate with the evidence. Send AxiTech the model, serial number, error code and the checks you have already run, and an engineer will come back with a diagnosis, a repair quote and a spare-parts lead time for MA 210.5Y Moisture Analyzer.

What to send us when you report the fault

  • Manufacturer, model and serial number, from the rating plate
  • The exact error code or message, and the screen it appears on
  • When the fault started, how often it occurs and what triggers it
  • A photograph of the display or of the fault, and the last maintenance report

If the fault survives all five steps, stop using MA 210.5Y Moisture Analyzer and open a repair request. Continuing to run equipment through a fault it cannot clear turns a component failure into a board-level one, and on devices used for diagnosis or therapy it puts the result — and the patient — in doubt.

Buying and installing MA 210.5Y Moisture Analyzer

AxiTech supplies MA 210.5Y Moisture Analyzer together with the accessories and consumables it needs to enter service. We handle importation, delivery and installation, then commission the equipment on site so that it is verified against its specification before the first patient or the first sample.

Installation is followed by training for the users and for your biomedical team, warranty registration, and — if you want it — a maintenance contract that takes over the day the warranty ends, so the equipment never spends a period without planned service.
