AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION:
All Reichert refractometers are automatically temperature
compensated assuring extremely accurate results. Automatic
temperature compensation corrects readings over a range of
temperatures. As an example; samples taken within the working
temperature range of the instrument are corrected to a reference
temperature of 68° F (20° C). Temperature compensation is essential
because refractive index varies inversely with temperature. This
feature is used in lieu of temperature control of the measuring
surface and sample. For this feature to be effective however, it is
necessary to allow the sample to temperature equilibrate to the
ambient temperature of the measuring surface. Without allowing for
temperature equilibration of the sample the read values will not be as
accurate as they could be since the sample will be in a state of
temperature and refractive index change.
ERROR CODES:
Err01 - No sample present. Add sample.
Err02 - Inadequate sample. Add additional sample.
Err03 - Sample exceeds the refractive index reading range.
Err04 - Sample temperature has not equilibrated. Allow more time for
temperature equilibration.
Err05 - Excessive ambient light. Cover sample well when reading.
Err06 - Excessive ambient light. Cover sample well when reading.
Err07 - Positive calibration error. Re-calibrate with distilled water.
Err08 - Negative calibration error. Re-calibrate with distilled water.
Err09 - Poor sample condition. Sample may not be able to be read.
Err10 - Sample type may not be able to be read.
Err12 - Index of sample is out of range of instrument.
Err5X - For any errors in this series contact Reichert Analytical
Instruments for technical assistance.
