Custom Channel Activation
The Mark III has the capabilities to measure additional products using custom channels. These
channels represent scales that have been developed to measure a specic product. Optional
channels can be selected only after they have been uploaded from a PC to the Mark III. The
following describes the Mark III custom channel possibilities.
Channel 1 – ICUMSA BRIX
The Mark III is pre-programmed at the factory with channel 1 to read % Sucrose or “Brix” scale
per the International Commission for Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis (ICUMSA). Tempera-
ture Corrected (TC) readings in channel 1 are valid for Sucrose only! This channel cannot be
altered.
Channel 2 – 15, User Programmable
User programmable, or custom channels as they are commonly referred to,
may be programmed using your own Refractive index, Temperature and per-
cent Solids data. Custom channels can include denitions for units of mea-
sure such as specic gravity, % protein, g/ml, etc. To access and activate
a stored custom channel advance to the Menu Options, Channel screen.
Select from the displayed channel options and press the key to activate
the highlighted custom channel.
