- Maak seker dat die prisma-oppervlak skoon en droog is.
- 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.
Bedryfsinstruksies
- Berei S voorample: 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.
- Dien S toeample: 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.

- Maak skoon na gebruik: Immediately after taking a reading, clean the prism surface thoroughly with water (preferably distilled) and a soft cloth to prevent residue buildup.
Let wel: For accurate readings, ensure the refractometer and sample are at a stable temperature. The device features automatic temperature compensation up to 40°C.
Onderhoud
- Skoonmaak:
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.

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.
- Battery vervanging:
Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display. Always use new AAA batteries and dispose of old batteries responsibly.
- Kalibrasie:
Perform zero calibration with distilled water regularly, especially if the device has been dropped, exposed to significant temperature changes, or if readings appear inconsistent.
Probleemoplossing
| Probleem | Moontlike oorsaak | Oplossing |
|---|---|---|
| Geen skerm/Eenheid skakel nie aan nie | Dooie of verkeerd geïnstalleerde batterye. | Kontroleer batterypolariteit; vervang batterye. |
| Onakkurate lesings | 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. | Verseker sample is within the specified measurement range; re-calibrate; if error persists, contact support. |
| Stadige reaksietyd | Lae battery; uiterste temperatuur. | Replace batteries; allow device to acclimate to room temperature. |
