Chapter - 6 Routine Operation / 6.2 Executing a Measurement
31
Starting the Measurement After inserting the polarimeter tube filled with the
sample, the measurement can be started.
Temperature control!
If there is a greater temperature difference between the
sample and the ambient temperature, you should wait
a while before starting the measurement. If the sample
has not reached ambient temperature, faulty results are
obtained.
Press .
The measurement is started.
Measurement A single measurement is executed.
The motor is operating when the symbol
is
displayed.
If the motor was switched off, a startup phase is
required first.
The measurement is then executed.
If a temperature sensor is connected, the actual
temperature is measured at the polarimeter tube and
displayed.
Symbol Explanation
Temperature sensor is connected to
the polarimeter tube. No value
available yet.
Actual temperature at the polarimeter
tube.
If the temperature sensor is calibrated,
the corrected temperatue is displayed.
If the sensor is not calibrated, the
uncorrected temperature is shown.
No display No temperature sensor connected.
After Measurement
Remove the polarimeter tube from the sample
chamber.
Clean the polarimeter tube
after
measurement with dest. water or an appropriate
solvent.
