Page 6: General Information
3 General information 3.1 Intended use The refractometer is a measuring instrument for determining the refractive index of transparent substances in liquid or in some cases also in the solid state. It is used to observe the behaviour of light as it passes from a prism with known properties to the substance being tested. -

4 Basic safety information 4.1 Follow the instructions in the operating manual Carefully read through the operating manual even if you have prior experience with KERN refractometers. Every language version includes a non-authoritative translation. The original German document is the definitive version. -

Page 9: Zero Point Calibration
7.1 Zero point calibration Hold up the refractometer against a sufficiently bright light source and look through the eyepiece [5], holding the rubber eyeshade [4] closely against your eye/glasses. Rotate the eyepiece [5] to adjust it for your eyesight, until you can see the scale sharply. -
Page 10: Additional Advice
7.2 Additional advice It is important that the samples being measured are representative samples. For samples that evaporate easily, measurements should be carried out quickly. Where possible, the samples should be at the same temperature as the measuring instru- ment in order to achieve an accurate result. Measuring procedure Make sure your hands are dry before handling the refractometer. -
Page 11: Storage
The device housing may only be opened by trained service technicians authorised by KERN. 11 Disposal The packaging consists of environmentally friendly materials which can be disposed of via local recycling facilities. -
