1. INFORMATION



The meter is a portable optical meter that uses the

measurement of refractive index to determine the % Brix of

sugar in aqueous solutions.



The measurement technique and temperature compensation

use methodology recommended by ICUMSA (International

Commission of Uniform Method of Sugar Analysis).



The meter is a waterproof brix meter with a rating of IP65 and

has a memory of 99 data points that can later be read by the

meter.



Prior to working with the meter all operators should read this

manual carefully, which will help you to operate and maintain

the meter, as well as to avoid damage caused by unsuitable

operation and maintenance.

5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

5-1 Precautions



Handle the meter carefully. Do not drop or shake the meter.



The meter is used to measure sugar solutions. Do not

expose the meter or prism to solvents that will damage it.

This includes most organic solvents and extremely hot or

cold solutions.



Never submerge the meter and do not spray water on the

meter except the sample plate located over the prism.



Sample matter may scratch the prism. Absorb sample with a soft

tissue and rinse sample plate and prism with distilled water or

deionized water between samples and wipe dry.



Use plastic pipettes to transfer the solutions. Do not use

metallic tools such as spoons, tweezers or needles as these

will scratch the prism.



If a film develops on the prism will repel test samples and

affect the measured recording. If this occurs, clean with a

mild detergent.

5-2 Zero Point Calibration

Zero-point Calibration should be performed daily, before sample

testing begins, between a long series of measurements or when

you suspect that the reading may be inaccurate.

1. Press

key to turn on the meter.

2. Press “

UNIT

” key to select Brix % reading the “

” symbol is

displayed.

3. Open the sample plate cover. Wipe and clean the prism

surface.
