    A B O U T T H E D E V I C E The digital refractometer SmartRef measures the refractive index of liquids. In addition, a temperature sensor measures the sample temperature directly at the sample area. The refractive index of a pure material is a physical property and can be used to identify and characterize materials.

    C H E C K M E A S U R E M E N T Fill the sample well with ultra-pure water up to the sample height indication and perform a measurement via the app. Depending on the selected unit of measurement, the result should be e.g. 0.0 °Brix, 0 ppt, etc. within the respective accuracy. A water check should be performed before starting measurements.
  • Page 15 CAUTION! Turn the device off prior to exchanging the batteries. Make sure the sample area is empty and dry before exchanging the batteries to avoid spillage of liquids. Only open the device in a clean and dry environment. The inside of the device does not require any cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaning agents on interior parts of the device. Do not open the compartment containing the optical and electronical components of the device as this will void the warranty.
