3.3 SELECT UNIT OF MEASUREMENT FOR TEMPERATURE

In Section 3.2 No. 3 above, the unit of measurement selected for temperature is Celsius (°C). This selection

appears at the end of the first line. To change the unit of measurement, DURING this display:

• successively press and release the ZERO push-button (Illustration 1-c) until the desired unit of measure

appears at the end of the first line,

- this action switches the units of measurement between degrees Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F),

• when the desired unit of measure appears at the end of the first line, release the button without pressing it

again,

• after a few seconds of inactivity, the In-Line Brix Meter automatically saves your selection. No further action

is required on your part to save your choice.

Reset | To RESET the temperature unit selection, simply switch the meter off and on again. To do this, disconnect

and reconnect the meter's power cord. When the temperature display appears (refer to Section 3.2 No. 3),

proceed to select the unit of measurement as described at the beginning of this section.

In-Line Brix Meter calibration is performed to CALIBRATE TO ZERO the meter's reading when it receives a

sample of liquid expected to be at zero degrees BRIX, such as filtrate or pure water.

Why perform a calibration | A calibration can compensate for a falsified reading that may occur, for example,

when the meter has been subjected to a shock, a sudden major temperature change, or significant temperature

variations over several consecutive days.

3.4.1

Here are all the conditions required to calibrate the In-Line Brix Meter.

1. Calibration is required at the start of the season, and every 10 days of operation.

2. After cleaning and rinsing the concentrator.

3. After cleaning the meter's prism and plate (Illustration 2).

4. With filtrate or pure water at a temperature between 1 and 8 °C (34 and 46 °F).

5. When the concentrator is switched on.

It is advisable to compare and validate your readings with a refractometer (not supplied). These refractometers

are available from your LAPIERRE ÉQUIPMENT distributor.

3.4.2

• Press and release the ZERO push-button (Illustration 1-c),
