SIGNIFICANCE OF USE
Thank you for choosing Milwaukee. This instruction manual will
provide you the necessary information for correct use of the meter.
The
MA886
is an optical instrument that employs the measurement
of the refractive index to determine sodium chloride concentration
in aqueous solutions used in food preparation. It is not intended
for sea water salinity measurements. The measurement of
refractive index is simple and quick and provides the user an
accepted method for NaCl analysis. Samples are measured
after a simple user calibration with deionized or distilled water.
Within seconds the instrument measures the refractive index of
the solution. The digital refractometer eliminates the uncertainty
associated with mechanical refractometers and is easily portable
for measurements where you need them.
The instrument utilizes internationally recognized references for
unit conversion and temperature compensation. It can display
the measurement of NaCl concentration 4 different ways: g/100 g,
g/100 mL, Specific Gravity, and °Baumé.
Temperature (in °C or °F) is displayed simultaneously with the
measurement (on 3 of the ranges) on the large dual level display
along with icons for Low Power and other helpful message codes.
Key features include:
y
Waterproof models offers IP65 waterproof protection
y
Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC)
y
Battery operation with Low Power indicator
y
Automatically turns off after 3 minutes of non-use.
