MAKING A STANDARD %BRIX SOLUTION
To make a Brix Solution, follow the procedure below:
•
Place container (such as a glass vial or dropper bottle that has a cover) on an analytical balance.
•
Tare the balance.
•
To make an X BRIX solution weigh out X grams of high purity Sucrose (CAS #: 57-50-1)
directly into the container.
•
Add distilled or deionized water to the container so the total weight of the solution is 100 g.
• Note:
Solutions above 60 %Brix need to be vigorously stirred or shaken and heated in a water
bath. Remove solution from bath when sucrose has dissolved. The total quantity can be
scaled proportionally for smaller containers but accuracy may be sacrificed.

To change the potential alcohol conversion factor, follow this procedure.
1. Press and hold
ON/OFF
key continuously for approximately 8 seconds. The LCD will display
all segments screen followed by a screen with the model number on the primary display and
the version number on the secondary display. Continue pressing the
ON/OFF
key.
2. While continuing to hold
ON/OFF
, press the
RANGE
key. The LCD will show the current
conversion factor on the primary display and “
P.ALc
” on the secondary display. Continue
holding the
ON/OFF
key. Press the
ZERO
key to increase this number. The number will
continually increase until “
0.70
” is reached then wrap back to “
C1
”. The user selectable
conversion range is 0.50 to 0.70. C1 stands for “curve 1” (see page 6). When you reach the
conversion factor you desire release the
ON/OFF
key. The new conversion factor will be
used.
