The mode selector switch is used to select measurement modes: The modes are:

•% Solids-TC - Temperature Compensated % Solids as Sucrose (OBrix) per International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis Refractive Index Tables.

•nD - Refractive Index

•% Solids - Non-Temperature Compensated % Solids as Sucrose

The reticle adjustment access hole permits vertical adjustment of the crosshair during calibration procedures.

Depress the read display button to obtain measurement values.

Depressing the temperature display button will provide a reading of the prism temperature.

Readings are shown digitally in the display window.

5.1 Variable Conditions in Taking Readings

Distilled water readings above 20OC can be obtained in the refractive index % Solids-TC mode, assuming the instrument is properly calibrated. Correct readings cannot be obtained in the non-temperature compensated % Solids mode when the water sample temperature is above or below 20OC. Refractive index (nD) readings for distilled water can be obtained from 0OC to 80OC (see Chart 1 for values between 18-30OC).

Refractive index is inversely proportional to temperature. As temperature increases, the solution density decreases and the refractive index or % Solids reading will decrease. As tempera- ture decreases the solution density will increase and the refractive index (% Solids) will increase. The % Solids-TC mode automatically corrects the reading for temperature based on the temperature coefficient of sucrose in solution. This coeffi- cient is typical of most aqueous solutions.

5.2 Calibrating With Distilled Water

To calibrate:

1.Place a distilled water sample on the measuring prism surface and let it stand undisturbed for 3-5 minutes to obtain temperature stability. Turn the mode selector switch to the refractive index (nD) position.

2.Focus the eyepiece until the crosshair clearly appears.

3.Rotate the adjustment control clockwise until the shadow line nearly meets the crosshair. Use the dispersion correction wheel to obtain the sharpest possible color-free shadow line. Adjust the

shadow line to meet the crosshair. Press the Read button and record the nD value, then press the temperature button and record the temperature.

4.If the instrument is properly calibrated, the reading will be 1.3330 less 0.0001 for each degree above 20OC or plus 0.0001 for each degree below 20OC.

If the instrument is not calibrated, determine the proper reading (Chart 1) and rotate the adjustment control and depress the READ display button until the display reads correctly. (The shadow line will no longer intersect the crosshair on the reticle.)

5.Insert a 1/16" Allen wrench into the reticle adjustment access hole (Figure 2) located in the dispersion correction wheel. Turn the wrench to bring the crosshair into proper position on the shadow line.

NOTE: The final movement made with the adjustment correction control wheel should always be in a clockwise direc- tion. The shadow line will move upward.

6.Turn the mode selector to the BX-TC position. Press the READ button. An LED reading of 000.0 or 0.1 is normal. If a negative sign and a decimal point appear, no reading can be given.

Go on to the next step.

If a “No Reading” condition persists after repeated READ attempts, rotate the adjustment control until the display reads

000.0or 0.1. Only a very slight adjustment will be necessary. Readjust the reticle crosshair to the shadow line.

The display should now read 000.0.

Repeat the steps until the display reads 000.0.

6.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

To begin operation:

1.Open the prism assembly cover (Figure 4) and remove the protective lens tissue. Clean the measuring prism surface with alcohol and then distilled water. Wipe with a clean soft cloth or lens tissue, but do not wipe the measuring prism surface while it is dry. Any residue left on the prism can affect the accuracy of readings.

2.Turn the mode selector to the desired mode position.

3.Apply a sample solution to the measuring prism surface using a glass dropper. Close the prism cover and position the illumination arm so that the exposed face of the upper prism is fully illuminated.

4.Turn the dispersion correction wheel so that the crosshair adjustment access hole is at the six o’clock position.
