Brix represents the weight of sucrose in 100 grams of sucrose solution as percentage by weight. When other dissolved solids are
present in the solution, Brix conversion may be applied.
Brix is a measure of the total dissolved solids in a solution and indicates the combined concentration of all soluble substances,
such as sugar, salt, protein, and acids.
Automatic Temperature Compensation
The readings are corrected, based on the temperature of the prism, within the automatic temperature compensation range.

Introduction
Some acids may corrode the glass prism and/or metal sample stage,
which may cause erroneous measurements.
Do not use metal tools, such as a spoon, as they may scratch the prism,
resulting in erroneous measurements.
Do not use water above 50℃ to rinse the instrument.
Only use the specified battery type. Observe proper polarities, properly
aligning the anodes and cathodes.
Store the instrument away from direct sunlight/heat sources and ex-
cessive amounts of dust/debris.
Do not expose the instrument to a rapid change in ambient temperature.
Do not subject the instrument to strong vibration.
Do not subject the instrument to extreme cold temperature.
Do not place the instrument under anything heavy.
Loosen the battery compartment cover for air transportation.
<International Protection Classification IP65>
The instrument is water-resistant, not waterproof, and should not be
submerged.
<Chemical Resistance of Body Case>

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may
not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired operation on this device.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type
and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated
power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication.
Caution: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation.
To comply with RSS 102 RF exposure compliance requirements, for mobile
configurations, a separation distance of at least 20 cm must be maintained
between the antenna of this device and all persons. This device must not
be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
