సెటప్

1. బ్యాటరీ ఇన్‌స్టాలేషన్

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the refractometer.
2. బ్యాటరీ కంపార్ట్మెంట్ కవర్ తెరవండి.
3. Insert the included 9V battery, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
4. బ్యాటరీ కంపార్ట్‌మెంట్ కవర్‌ను సురక్షితంగా మూసివేయండి.

2. Initial Calibration (Zero Setting)

For accurate measurements, the refractometer must be calibrated with distilled water before first use and periodically thereafter.

1. Ensure the refractometer is clean and dry.
2. Place a few drops of distilled water onto the sample well (prism surface). Ensure the prism surface is completely covered.
3. నొక్కండి START / OFF పరికరాన్ని ఆన్ చేయడానికి బటన్.
4. నొక్కండి జీరో button (refer to device buttons for exact labeling if different from generic). The display should show "0.0%" or similar, indicating successful calibration.
5. Wipe the distilled water from the sample well using a soft, lint-free cloth.

Note: Calibration should be performed at an ambient temperature between 5 to 40 degrees C.

2. Place one to two drops of the liquid sampలు మీదకుample well (prism surface). Ensure the prism is fully covered without air bubbles.
3. Close the daylight plate (if applicable) gently over the sample.
4. నొక్కండి START / OFF కొలతను ప్రారంభించడానికి బటన్.
5. The % Brix reading will be displayed on the LED screen within approximately three seconds. The device automatically compensates for temperature variations within its operating range (5 to 40 degrees C).
6. అవసరమైతే కొలతను రికార్డ్ చేయండి.
7. After measurement, clean the sample well thoroughly with distilled water and a soft cloth.

2. Using the User-Scale Function

The PR-32α features a user-scale function, allowing you to input a coefficient to convert the Brix reading into a specific concentration unit relevant to your sample (e.g., concentration = Brix X coefficient).

• Refer to the detailed instructions in the full user manual (if provided separately) or Atago's official website for specific steps on programming and utilizing the user-scale function.
• This function is particularly useful for specific industrial or chemical applications where a direct Brix reading needs conversion to a custom unit.

3. External Light Interference (ELI) Technology

The refractometer incorporates ELI technology, which minimizes interference from strong external light sources (e.g., direct sunlight, bright windows). This ensures accurate measurements even when operating outdoors or near bright light sources.

నిర్వహణ

1. Cleaning the Sampలే బాగా

• ఎల్లప్పుడూ శుభ్రం sample well (stainless steel 316 prism surface) immediately after each use.
• Use distilled water and a soft, lint-free cloth or tissue to gently wipe away any sampలే అవశేషాలు.
• Do not use abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the prism surface.
• లను నిర్ధారించుకోండిample well is completely dry before storing the device or taking a new measurement.

2. సాధారణ సంరక్షణ మరియు నిల్వ

• The device has an Ingress Protection (IP)-65 rating, offering protection against dust and splashing water. However, avoid submerging the unit in water or exposing it to excessive moisture.
• Store the refractometer in its carrying case when not in use to protect it from dust, dirt, and physical damage.
• ప్రత్యక్ష సూర్యకాంతి మరియు తీవ్రమైన ఉష్ణోగ్రతల నుండి దూరంగా, చల్లని, పొడి ప్రదేశంలో నిల్వ చేయండి.
• పరికరం ఎక్కువ కాలం ఉపయోగించబడకపోతే, లీకేజీని నివారించడానికి 9V బ్యాటరీని తీసివేయండి.
