2. INTRODUCTION
Accurately measures the strength of battery fluid, screenwash, antifreeze and AdBlue by measuring the refractive
index of light passing through the mixture. Suitable for synthetic antifreeze mixtures including long life OAT (Organic
Acid Technology) and aqueous/urea content of AdBlue. Temperature corrected prism ensures accuracy. Eyepiece
with adjustable focus. Simple calibration check using distilled water. Supplied with pipette and carry-case.
3.1
. Check that the prism (2) and lid (1) are clean.
3.2.
Open lid, hold tester so that prism surface is level and with pipette supplied (4), place a drop of the fluid onto
the prism (2).
3.3.
Close the lid (1), to disperse the fluid evenly with equal opacity and no bubbles.
3.4.
Turn eyepiece (3) so that the display is correctly focused.
3.5.
Read off the value, on the appropriate scale, indicated by the pronounced LIGHT-DARK dividing line.
On completion of each test carefully clean the prism with a lint-free dry cloth (5). The tester incorporates a
display, subdivided into five scales (fig.2), from which to check the following fluids.
