Need help?Do you have a question about the ATAGO PAL-BX/RI and is the answer not in the manual?
Measurements may fluctuate with hot or cold samples. Wait for approximately 20 seconds before pressing START.
Displays measurement results, prism temperature, remaining battery charge, etc.
Press to take measurements and hold down to turn off the display.
Place and remove batteries from here.
Apply water and samples on the glass prism located in the center of the sample stage.
Press to perform zero-setting.
Press to set date, time, and delete data history.
For explanation purposes only. It may be different than the actual product purchased.
The main unit of the PAL-BX/RI refractometer.
This book contains all necessary instructions for using the instrument.
AAA alkaline batteries are included. Remove the tape from the battery compartment before inserting.
Report detailing the calibration status of the instrument.
Ensure safety when handling hazardous materials. Observe precautionary measures and use protective equipment.
Carefully read this manual to have basic knowledge of the function of each component.
The instrument is water-resistant, not waterproof, and should not be submerged.
The body case is made of PBT resin. Do not expose it to water vapor. Some solvents may compromise structural integrity.
Zero-set the instrument daily before use or after replacing batteries. Let water acclimate to instrument temperature.
Apply sample, press START. After '---' appears, the measurement and prism temperature are displayed.
Wipe off sample. Clean prism and stage with mild soap, rinse thoroughly with water, and dry with tissues.
Alerts for low battery, incorrect zero-setting, out-of-range measurements, or instrument faults.
Do not use metal tools. Initial measurements may fluctuate with hot/cold samples; wait for acclimation.
Do not splash water above 50°C as plastic may warp, affecting water resistance.
Place only necessary amount for hot samples. Do not let it overflow the stage well.
Use water-soaked gauze for hardened samples. Keep hot water away from the body case.
The displayed temperature is that of the prism, not necessarily the sample.
Fasten cover tightly to prevent water ingress. Check O-ring for damage.
Replace low battery icon with brand new AAA alkaline batteries. Zero-set after replacement.
Static images may appear on LCD due to retained pixel charges; they do not indicate faults.
Check the expiration dates on batteries before purchase.
Insert a coin in the groove and turn counterclockwise to remove the cover.
Insert batteries observing the correct polarity.
Align the cover, push down, and turn clockwise until it stops.

The ATAGO PAL-BX/RI is a digital handheld "Pocket" dual-scale refractometer designed for measuring Brix and Refractive Index (RI). It is a versatile instrument suitable for various applications, including food and beverage, agriculture, and industrial settings, where the concentration of dissolved solids in a solution needs to be determined.
The primary function of the PAL-BX/RI is to measure the Brix percentage and Refractive Index of a sample. Brix represents the weight percentage of sucrose in 100 grams of sucrose solution. If other dissolved solids are present, Brix indicates the combined concentration of all soluble substances like sugar, salt, protein, and acids. The Refractive Index, on the other hand, is a measure of how light bends when passing through a substance. It's important to note that the displayed Refractive Index value is not temperature-compensated, meaning it reflects the RI at the measurement temperature. Changes in temperature directly affect the Refractive Index of any sample.
The device features automatic temperature compensation (ATC) for Brix readings, correcting measurements based on the prism's temperature within a specified range. This ensures accurate Brix readings even with varying sample temperatures. The instrument is designed for ease of use, with a simple interface consisting of an LCD display, START button (also serving as the power button), and ZERO button. The LCD displays measurement results, prism temperature, and remaining battery charge.
