The
HI96841
Digital Beer Refractometer is a rugged portable, water resis‑
tant device that benefits from Hanna Instruments’ years of experience as a
manufacturer of analytical instruments.
The
HI96841
is an optical instrument that employs the measurement of
refractive index of a solution. The measurement of refractive index is both
simple and quick and provides the brewer an accepted method for sugar
content analysis. Samples are measured after a simple user calibration with
deionized or distilled water. Within seconds the instrument measures the
refractive index of the beer or wort and converts it to °Plato. The
HI96841
digital refractometer eliminates the uncertainity associated with mechanical
refractometers and is easily portable for measurements in the field. Tempe‑
rature (in °C or °F) is displayed simultaneously with the measurement on
the large dual level display along with icons for Low Power and other helpful
message codes.
Key features include:
• Dual‑level LCD
• Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC)
• Easy setup and storage
• Battery operation with Low Power indicator (BEPS)
• IP65 Waterproof protection
• Quick, precise results readings are displayed in approximately
1.5 seconds
• Small sample size, as small as 2 metric drops.
Remove the instrument from the packing materials and examine carefully
to ensure no damage has occurred during shipping. If any damage has
occurred, contact your local Hanna Instruments Office.
Each
HI96841
instrument is supplied with:
• 9 V battery
• Instruction manual
• Plastic pipette
• Quality certificate
Note: Save all packing material until you are sure that the instrument
functions correctly. A defective instrument must be returned in its
original packing.
