5.2 Measurement Modes The Prism RT-100 measures the sample refractive index (nD) and temperature. Use the arrow keys to se- lect the concentration units that are calculated from nD and the temperatures with using the pre-loaded equations for Brix, MPG, MEG, and ALV. The main output of 4-20mA switches with the display switching. -
Page 14: Calibration
1. Clean the Prism RT-100 sapphire lens with soft tissue. 2. If any tenacious deposits are present on the sensor lens, you may pre-soak the sensor lens in Pyxis Probe Cleaning Solution (P/N: SER-01) for 10–15 minutes, then rinse with clean water and wipe with soft tissue prior to proceeding to air calibration. -
