GENERAL DESCRIPTION
SIGNIFICANCE OF USE
Thank you for choosing Milwaukee. This instruction manual will provide you the
necessary information for correct use of the meter.
The
MA882
,
MA883
,
MA884
and
MA885
are optical instruments that are based on the
measurement of the refractive index of a solution. The measurement of refractive index is
simple and quick and provides the vintner 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 grape. This digital
refractometers eliminate the uncertainty associated with mechanical refractometers and
are easily portable for measurements in the field.
The four instruments utilize internationally recognized references for unit conversion and
temperature compensation.
MA882
measures %Brix
MA883
measures °Baumé
MA884
measures %Brix
Potential Alcohol (% vol)
MA885
measures %Brix
°Oechsle (°Oe)
°KMW (°Babo)
Temperature (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.
