Configuración
- Desembalaxe: Carefully remove the refractometer and any accessories from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage.
- Instalación da batería: Locate the battery compartment (usually on the back or bottom). Insert two AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment securely.
- Limpeza inicial: Before first use, gently clean the prism surface with a soft, lint-free cloth and distilled water. Ensure no residue remains.
- Calibración cero:
- Ensure the prism surface is clean and dry.
- Apply a few drops of distilled water onto the prism.
- Press the "ZERO" button. The display should show "0.0" or a similar indication of successful calibration.
- Wipe the distilled water off the prism.
Instrucións de funcionamento
- Preparar SampLe: Ensure the cutting oil sample is well-mixed and free of large particles.
- Clean Prism: Before each measurement, clean the prism surface thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Aplicar SampLe: Place two to three drops of the cutting oil sample onto the prism surface. Ensure the sample covers the entire prism surface without air bubbles.
- Tomar lectura: Press the "START" button. The refractometer will automatically measure the concentration and display the value on the LCD screen within seconds.
- Lectura de rexistros: Note down the displayed concentration value.
- Limpar despois do uso: Immediately after taking a reading, clean the prism surface thoroughly with water (preferably distilled) and a soft cloth to prevent residue buildup.
Nota: For accurate readings, ensure the refractometer and sample are at a stable temperature. The device features automatic temperature compensation up to 40°C.
Mantemento
- Limpeza:
Regularly clean the prism and sample well with distilled water and a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn residues, a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution may be used, followed by thorough rinsing with distilled water. The IP65 rating allows for easy cleaning under running water, but avoid submerging the entire unit.
- Almacenamento:
Store the refractometer in a clean, dry, and cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep it in its protective case if one is provided.
- Substitución da batería:
Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display. Always use new AAA batteries and dispose of old batteries responsibly.
- Calibración:
Perform zero calibration with distilled water regularly, especially if the device has been dropped, exposed to significant temperature changes, or if readings appear inconsistent.
Resolución de problemas
| Problema | Causa posible | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| Sen pantalla/A unidade non se acende | Baterías gastadas ou instaladas incorrectamente. | Comprobe a polaridade das baterías; substitúa as baterías. |
| Lecturas inexactas | Dirty prism; improper calibration; sample not covering prism; temperature fluctuations. | Clean prism thoroughly; perform zero calibration; ensure sufficient sample volume; allow sample/device to stabilize to ambient temperature. |
| "ERR" or error message on display | Measurement outside range; internal error. | Asegurar sample is within the specified measurement range; re-calibrate; if error persists, contact support. |
| Tempo de resposta lento | Batería baixa; temperatura extrema. | Replace batteries; allow device to acclimate to room temperature. |
