To do so simply repeat the steps described above with the small bottle of ultrapure water provided Remove the little black cover of the calibration knob which is located right behind the prism cover With the small calibration key turn the calibration knob until the demarcation border falls sharply between the upper blue area and the lower white area on the scale at a salinity of Oppt and specific gravity of 1 000 Note For precision it is very important to do the recalibration steps at an ambient temperature of 20 Celsius degree SALINITY The refractometer should be handled with care It may be damaged if subjected to shock or strong vibration Avoid touching the lens by hand or any other hard or sharp objects Store the refractometer in dry cool and dark place after use 10 Sybon s salinity refractometer FG100sa ATC comes with a one year warranty Ask your dealer for further details 11 For more details or any enquires please visit our website at www sybontech com P4

5. hen hold the refractometer in a way that the prism stays in a leveled position Place on the prism a few drops of the saline medium desired to be measured Then lower the transparent plastic cover back onto the prism Make sure that the saline medium fully seeps across the entire surface of the prism without any noticeable air pockets entrapped under the cover Wait for about 30 seconds in order that the temperature of the saline medium blends into the ambient temperature Then point the refractometer towards a bright light source e g sun fluorescent light incandescent light and look into the black eyepiece at the other end of the refractometer There should be a clear and sharp image of a scale with salinity reading on the right side and specific gravity reading on the left Turn the eyepiece to focus for clear and sharp image On the background there should be an upper blue half area sharply distinguished from a lower white half area The demarcation line between the two halves shows the reading of salinity and specific gravity of the saline medium FG100sa ATC is equipped with automatic temperature compensation function It gives accurate readings at any temperature from 10 to 30 Celsius degrees without the need of further adjustment or chart reading Rinse the prism with clean freshwater after each use Gently wipe the prism dry with the flannel provided or soft fabric In every couple months however FG100sa should be recalibrated
