Adjust the height of the display unit at the
clamp and fasten the mounting screw to
securely fix the shaft in position.
The clamp mount spins free when the
mounting screw is loosened, allowing for
shaft height adjustment at any desired
angle. Position the display unit upright after
the height adjustment is complete.
Height-adjusting shaft is fixed
with the mouting screw.

Thank you for purchasing the Digital Immersion Refractometer, PAN-1DC. Before operating, read this
instruction manual carefully to understand its contents. Keep the manual with the instrument for future
reference.
To use the instrument safely, the precautions described in this instruction manual must be observed.
Failure to comply may result in injury and/or damage to property.
Introduction
Safety Precautions
Use caution as hot samples can cause severe burns. Do not dip the instrument directly into
a boiling pot to measure.
WARNING
CAUTION
ۍ
Do not dip the instrument in any sample that is over 100
Υ
.
ۍ
ATAGO is not liable for any loss and damage caused by the measurement and use of this instrument.
ۍ
If this instrument is used to measure highly acidic samples, the prism and prism head may be damaged, resulting in
inaccurate measurements.
ۍ
The prism is made of optical glass. Metal tools and/or implements can damage the prism surface. If the surface of the
prism is scratched or damaged, inaccurate measurements will occur.
ۍ
Before use, carefully read the instruction manual and fully understand the function and operation of the instrument.
ۍ
Supply the instrument with DC24V only (allowable fluctuation is
㼼
10 %).
ۍ
Do not use power cables that are damaged or modified.
ۍ
Do not insert or disconnect the power plug with wet hands.
ۍ
Do not leave the instrument in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near a heat source for any extended period of
time.
?
ۍ
Do not change the ambient temperature of the instrument suddenly.
ۍ
Do not place the instrument where it will be subject to strong vibrations.
ۍ
Do not use the instrument where there is an excessive amount of dust.
ۍ
Do not store the instrument in an extremely cool area.
ۍ
Do not set or drop heavy objects on the instrument.
㸺
The instrument is equipped with the External Light Interference (ELI)
function to ensure accurate readings
㸼
ELI Function
If the instrument is subjected to intense light, such as direct sunlight or
artificial lighting, when measuring a sample or zero setting, the ELI
function will display the [nnnn] (Fig.A) warning message immediately after
the START or ZERO key is pressed. When this happens, shade the prism
head and press the START or ZERO key again. If the warning message
continues to be displayed, place the sample in a non-translucent cup to
measure.
The instrument comes with the following items:
Blinks three times
*Caution
Press the ZERO
key to display the
temperature first
before zero-setting.
Press the ZERO key
between
measurements to
display the
temperature.
*Once the
temperature is
displayed, the
measurement is
paused. Press the
ZERO key to resume
measurement.

3. Power and RS-232C output
The power and RS-232C cable connects to the side
of the instrument, and it provides power (DC24V) to
the instrument and transmits Brix data via RS-232C.
One multipurpose socket: serves for both power and
RS-232C output (cable provided in standard
delivery).
The length of a cable is 2m.
䚷
The cable can be ordered to a custom length of up
to 15m.

Preparing a PC for Data Transmission
Download a terminal emulator for PC serial
communication.
Here, the open-source software "Tera Tarm "
is used as an example.
Download Tera Term from a website, such as
the one below:
http://ttssh2.sourceforge.jp/index.html.en/
䐠
Start Tera Term. (Fig.3-1)
Select "serial" on the New connection
dialogbox.
Select the port number.
Click OK.
䈜
Check the port number.

䐡
Click Setup, and then Serial port.
䐢
Enter the port number selected in step
䐠
.
(Fig.3-2)

Data length : 8bit
Parity : none
Stop bits : 1bit
Click OK.
䐣
Click Setup, and then Terminal port.
䐤
Enter the settings as shown below and Click
OK. (Fig.3-3)
䈜
Make sure that the "Local echo" is checked.
