MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
Verify the instrument has been calibrated before taking measurements.
1. Wipe off prism surface located at the bottom of the sample well.
Make sure the prism and sample well are completely dry.
2. Using a plastic pipette, drip sample onto the prism surface. Fill
the well completely.
Note:
If the temperature of the sample differs significantly from the
temperature of the instrument, wait approximately 1 minute
to allow thermal equilibration.
3. Press the
READ
key. The result is displayed in units of % BRIX.
Note:
The last measurement value will be displayed until the next
sample is measured or the instrument is turned off. Temperature
will be continuously updated.
Note:
The
ATC
tag blinks and automatic temperature compensation
is disabled if the temperature exceeds the 10-40 °C / 50-104 °F
range.
4. Remove sample from the sample well by absorbing with a soft tissue.
5. Using a plastic pipette, rinse prism and sample well with distilled
or deionized water. Wipe dry. The instrument is ready for the next
sample.
