3. General information
3.1 Intended use
The refractometer is a measuring instrument for determining the refractive index of transparent substances in the liquid or the solid state. It is used to observe the behaviour of light as it passes from a prism with known properties to the substance being tested. Use of the refractometer for other purposes is contrary to its intended use and may be hazardous. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damages caused by improper use.

3.2 Warranty
The warranty shall be void in the event of:  Failure to observe the instructions in the operating manual  Use for purposes other than those described  Modifications or opening the device housing  Mechanical damage and/or damage resulting from media, liquids, natural wear and tear 3

4. Basic safety information 4.1 Follow the instructions in the operating manual
 Carefully read through the operating manual even if you have prior experience with KERN refractometers.
 Every language version includes a non-authoritative translation. The original German document is the definitive version.

4.2 Warning

 Do not let acids come into contact with skin or eyes. If acid comes into contact with skin, flush with copious amounts of water. Shower if larger areas of skin are affected.

 If acid comes into contact with eyes, keep the eyelid open and flush the eye with running lukewarm water from the outer corner to the inner corner. Flush eyes for at least 15 minutes. Then consult a doctor or ophthalmologist immediately.

 Thoroughly clean the refractometer after each use.

 The refractometer must not be exposed to extreme temperatures, high

mechanical stresses, strong direct sunlight or high humidity.

4

 This refractometer is not a toy. Keep out of reach of children.

 Make sure that you will not be hit by anything else while you are using the refractometer, as this could cause serious eye injuries

 The rubber eyeshade may cause irritation when in prolonged contact with the skin. If this happens, consult your doctor.

 Do not touch the lenses with your fingers.

5. Supplied items
After unpacking and before using the device for the first time, check that all listed parts have been supplied. Replace damaged or faulty parts immediately and do not put them into operation.

6. Before the first use
Remove the protective film (if present) from the prism surface [2] and check that the rubber eye-cup [4] is fitted correctly.
7. Use/measurement
The refractometer can be used to quickly and accurately determine the refractive index of transparent substances, liquid or solid ones. To ensure correct measurement, the measuring device should be adjusted before measurements are carried out. Please make sure your hands are dry before handling the measuring device.

6

7.1 Zero point calibration

 Hold up the refractometer against a sufficiently bright light source and look through

the eyepiece [5], holding the rubber eyeshade [4] closely against your eye/glasses.

 Rotate the eyepiece [5] to adjust it for your eyesight, until you can see the scale

sharply.

 Open the prism cover [1].

 Thoroughly clean the prism [2] and the underside of the prism cover [1] using a soft

cloth or soft paper (with alcohol if necessary) and wipe dry.

 Now apply a few drops of the calibration liquid [10] onto the prism surface [2].

 Close the prism cover [1]. The amount of fluid should be sufficient to moisten most

of the prism surface. There should not be any air bubbles between the measuring

prism [2] and prism cover [1].

 Wait about 30 seconds to allow the temperatures of the fluid and prism to

equalise.

 Look through the eyepiece [4] while pointing the refractometer`s prism surface [2]

at a bright light source.

 Through the eyepiece [4], you will see a bright and a blue field. The boundary line

between them shows the measured value on the scale which is also visible

through the eyepiece [4].

7

 Use the supplied adjustment tool [11] to turn the adjustment screw [3] behind the prism surface [2] (under the rubber cap), and adjust the scale so that the measuring device is optimally set up by moving the boundary line upwards or downwards. Calibration value ORA 3AA/3AB: 0 % (Brix) / 1.000 (SG wort) Calibration value ORA 4AA/4AB: 0 °P (Plato)
 Repeat step 4 (cleaning).

Important!

The ambient/room temperature and the sample temperature influ-ence the refractometer measuring result. The scales of the refractometer models,

!

which have "AB" in its name, are designed for an ambient

temperature of +20 °C! If the measurements are carried out at a temperature other than +20 °C,

the results must be correspondingly corrected. A correction table can be found in the annex,

Point 14. Refractometer models, which have "AA" in its name, are equipped with an automatic

temperature compensation (ATC). Between +10°C and +30°C measurement differences due to

temperature changes are automatically compensated.

8

8. Cleaning and maintenance
Clean the refractometer using a soft, lint-free cloth moistened with either water or, if necessary, alcohol. Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents. Never immerse the device in water or hold it under running water. Never handle the device with wet or damp hands.
Never touch the measuring prism [2] with hard tools made from plastic, wood, rubber, metal, glass etc. Hard objects can quickly damage the relatively soft prism glass, resulting in measurement errors.
The refractometer is maintenance-free.
Cleaning should be carried out immediately before and after each use of the refractometer to maximise its life and optimise measurement results.

9. Storage

Store the refractometer in a dry, non-corrosive environment, preferably between 10 °C and 30 °C.

11

10. Service
After reading this operating manual, if you have any questions about setting up or using the refractometer, or if any unexpected problem occurs, please contact your dealer. The device housing may only be opened by trained service technicians authorised by KERN.

11. Disposal
The packaging consists of environmentally friendly materials which can be disposed of via local recycling facilities. The device and storage box should be disposed of by the operator in accordance with applicable national or regional regulations at the place of use.

12. Additional information
The product may differ slightly from the illustrations. Avoid exposing the refractometer to direct sunlight. Never bring the refractometer into contact with solvents.

7.2 Additional advice
It is important that the samples being measured are representative samples. For samples that evaporate easily, measurements should be carried out quickly. The samples should be at the same temperature as the measuring instrument in order to achieve an accurate result.
7.3 Measuring procedure
 Make sure your hands are dry before handling the refractometer.
 Open the prism cover [1] and use the supplied pipette [8] to apply a few drops of the sample liquid [8] onto the prism surface [2]. Close the prism cover [1]. Spread the liquid evenly by pressing down on the prism cover [1] and elimi-nate any air bubbles present.
 Hold the device horizontally and wait about 30 seconds (for optimal tempera-ture equalisation between the sample and device).
 View the measurement scale through the eyepiece [4]. Point the prism surface [2] of the refractometer at a bright light source while doing this.
 Rotate the adjustment ring [5] on the eyepiece [4] to adjust the focus.  The boundary line will move on the measurement scale depending on the concen- 9
tration. This bright/dark boundary line shows the result on the scale.  If the temperature deviates from +20 °C and a refractometer without ATC is used,
correct the measured result using the corresponding value from the temperature correction table [13].  Carefully clean the supplied pipette [8] and the refractometer after carrying out the measurement.

Important!

After every measurement, use a lint-free, absorbent cloth to remove the fluids from the prism surface [2] and prism cover [1]. Then carefully clean the prism and prism cover using a cloth moistened

!

with water or if necessary alcohol, and dry both parts using a soft,

dry and lint-free cloth. Avoid rubbing the prism [2].
