Què hi ha a la caixa

Upon opening your product package, please verify that all the following items are present:

• AMTAST RHS-28ATC Salinity Refractometer
• Ullera d'ulls
• Suction tube (pipette)
• Screwdriver (for calibration)
• Maleta de transport

Configuració

Before first use, ensure the refractometer is clean and calibrated.

1. Desembalar: Carefully remove all components from the carry case.
2. Inspeccionar: Check the refractometer for any visible damage.
3. Neteja: Gently wipe the prism and cover plate with a soft, lint-free cloth.
4. Calibració:
   • Obriu la placa de coberta.
   • Place 1-2 drops of distilled water onto the main prism.
   • Close the cover plate gently, ensuring the water spreads evenly without air bubbles.
   • Point the refractometer towards a light source and look through the eyepiece.
   • Turn the calibration screw (usually located near the eyepiece) with the provided screwdriver until the blue/white boundary line aligns precisely with the '0' mark on the scale.
   • Wipe the prism and cover plate dry with a soft cloth. The device is now calibrated.

Instruccions de funcionament

Follow these steps for accurate salinity measurement:

1. Step 1: Prepare the Prism
   Open the cover plate and clean the surface of the main prism with a soft, lint-free cloth. Ensure it is dry.
2. Step 2: Apply Sample
   Using the suction tube (pipette), place 1-2 drops of the solution you wish to test onto the main prism.
3. Step 3: Close Cover Plate
   Gently close the cover plate, pressing it down lightly. This will spread the sample evenly across the prism surface without air bubbles.
4. Step 4: Read the Value
   Point the front end of the refractometer towards a light source (e.g., daylight or a lamp). Look through the eyepiece. The scale will show a clear blue/white boundary line. Read the value where this line intersects the salinity scale. This is your measurement.
