Operating Manual
Precautions:
• Pleaseusetheinstrumentonlywithintheoperatingtemperatureof
18–35 °C (65–95 °F).
• Thisrefractometerisanelectronicinstrument,itcanbecomedamagedif
droppedorhandledinaroughmanner.
• Theprismismadeofopticalglassandissusceptibletoscratches.
Donotapplyanyroughorabrasivematerialandtakecarewhencleaning
the prism.
• Aftereachuse,cleantheprismandtheprismassemblywithasoftclothor
tissuesoakedinwater,andwipeoffwithadyclothortissue.
• Donotholdtherefractometerunderastreamofwaterfromafaucet.
Do not splash it with or dip it in water.
• Ifthesurfaceoftheprismbecomescoatedwithanoilysolutionorsimilar,
itwillrepeltestsampleandaffectreadings.Ifthisoccurs,theprismshould
becleanedwithaweakeneddetergentorsimilarsolvent.
• Donotusetheinstrumentunlessyouknowhowtocalibrate.

Calibration:
Calibrationshouldbeperformedonadailybasisforoptimumresultsand
accuracy.Forthebestresults,performcalibrationinacontrolledenvironment
of20°C(68°F)usingdistilledwaterofthesametemperature.Itisrecom-
mended to allow the instrument and the distilled water to reach temperature
equilibriumwiththecontrolledenvironmentbeforecalibrationtakesplace.
Applyafewdropsofsampleontheprismwithapipette.PresstheZEROkey
for3seconds.Whencalibrationiscomplete,“CAL”willbeshownontheLCD
display.TochecktheRIvalueofthezerosettingforthedistilledwater,press
quicklytheZEROkey,once.Thisdatacanbeviewedatanytimetoshowthe
last calibration value.
Whencalibrationiscomplete,gentlywipetheprismusingtissuepaper.
Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC):
Automatictemperaturecompensationinsurethatconcentrationreadingof
aqueous(water-based)solutionswillbeaccuratewithrespecttothesample’s
temperature.Thisdigitalrefractometerisabletocorrectautomaticallyfordiffe-
rencesinthetemperatureofthesampletoareferencetemperature,usually
20°C.Itiswellknownthatsubstantiallyallmaterialsexpendwhenheated
(become less dense) and contract when cooled (become more dense).
Thespeedoflightinaliquidincreaseswithtemperature,andtherefractive
indexthereforedecreases.Althoughthisthermaleffectissmallforsolids,
thechangeindensityforliquidsissubstantial.Forexample,thereadingfora
sucrosesolutionwillchangebyapproximately0.5Brixforeach10°C(5°F)
changeintemperature.Soa10Brixsolutionreadat42°C(108°F)would
read8Brixonanon-temperaturecompensatedinstrument.
