Brix scale
Brix represents the weight of sucrose in 100 grams of sucrose
solution as percentage by weight. When other dissolved solids
are present in the solution, Brix conversion may be applied.
Brix is a measure of the total dissolved solids in a solution and
indicates the combined concentration of all soluble substances,
such as sugar, salt, protein, and acids.
When the measured values are off
①Are there any difference between the fruit, unit, and ambient
temperature?
②
Are there any water droplets or soiled area in the measurement section?
Is the fruit spoiled?
③Does the fruit and inner cushion have a good contact?
Especially when using the side button, is it out of alignment?
④
Are there any difference depending on measured section?
①～④ → Refer to “
Measurement tips and precautions”
⑤
Are there any damages or soil on the light emitting or
receiving section? → Refer to “Cleaning”
If light emitting or receiving section is damaged or soiled,
contact ATAGO.
⑥ Is the cushion wet? → Refer to “Cleaning”
Replace cushion to a new one if there is any deterioration. →
Refer to “How to Change the Cushion”
