1. Make sure the status of all cylinders is OFF on the display.
2. Turn product supply valve to the 90° (OFF) position for the barrel you are using. It is recommended to close
both valves to be sure the correct valve is chosen.
3. Press MENU. Then press UP repeatedly until BRIX is displayed. Press GO and select cylinder you wish to
Brix.
NOTE: Pressing CANCEL will stop the process.
4. Locate the appropriate (correct barrel) sample tube and hold a cup under it.
NOTE: If Product Sample Valve is located in a different position than Figure 9. See the schematics
in Appendix B for the two alternate constructions (section 1 and 2) and their respective Brixing
instructions.
5. Open the valve at the end of the sample tube. Press GO and wait 3-5 seconds. The product pump will
pump product for approximately 3 seconds. After sample is dispensed press Go twice more to dispense
product two more times. Discard these first three samples.
6. Press GO again. Collect sample from cup and close valve at end of sample tube. Place adequate amount
on refractometer and read Brix. A target Brix reading of 13.0 (±1.0) is normally desired for sugar-based
syrups. Lower values for some diet syrups can be specified. Check with the syrup manufacturer if you are
not sure.
7. If reading is out of specification the syrup level needs to be adjusted. Never change the Water Flow Control
setting to adjust Brix (Figure 10.)
