The Salt meter, which measures electrical
conductivity, requires a 10-fold (refer to making
Dilution) dilution for foods with Brix 6% or higher.
(prepare 3 versions of the same sample : Refer to
User Scale Samples)
User scale enables salt measurement of undiluted
products.
Measure Brix and Salt at the same time.

This instrument stores maximum number of 100 measurement data. This instrument is
equipped with NFC（Near Field Communication）technology.
Data history can be accessed by bringing PAL-NFC to any Android devices, iPhone or PC-linked
USB NFC Reader/Writer* (in conformance to PC/SC specification).
*Operation tested with SONY USB NFC Reader PaSoRi RC-S380.
Caution Data history exceeding 100 will overwrite old activity with new data, replacing the
oldest recorded information first.
Data history can be exported to Microsoft(R) Excel (R)(for Windows(R)) using a PAL NFC
software "ATAGO Logger (NFC)."
Applicable Application Software (app) "NFC Reader"
* If an NFC tag reader app is already installed on the Android
devices or iPhone, this app can be used.
* Be sure to establish the PC and IC card
reader/writer connection in advance by
setting up (and installing the driver) IC card
reader/writer.
* Data history can be read out by holding up
the USB NFC Reader/writer to the PAL unit.
1. Launch ATAGO Logger.
2. Bring the bottom part (where the "NFC" logo is) of PAL

Store the instrument in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
Exposure to humidity may cause condensation inside, and
exposure to direct sunlight may cause the plastic to warp.
・Cleaning Clean and dry the sensor area thoroughly after use, leaving no sample
residues or water.
〈For oily samples:〉
Remove oily residues with mild soap, and then, rinse with water.
・Storage Store the instrument away from direct sunlight at a stable temperature
with as little fluctuation as possible.
Storage And Maintenance
The Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) feature is based on temperature detected by the thermo sensor located near the sensor area.
ATC may not work correctly when the temperature of the sensor area is not the same as the actual temperature of the sample. When measuring a
hot or cold sample, let it sit on the sensor for approximately 20 seconds and measure, or take multiple readings until measurements become stable.
Automatic Temperature Compensation
Read and follow all safety instructions before operating the instrument.
・When measuring hazardous materials, use proper safety procedures, materials, and clothing to avoid personal injury. Anyone
handling hazardous materials should understand its properties and its safety requirements. ・If the instrument is dropped or subjected to a strong
impact, contact your supplier for inspection. ・Do not attempt to repair, modify, or disassemble the instrument.
・Before use, carefully read the instruction manual and fully understand the function and operation for each part of the
instrument. ・ATAGO is not liable for any loss and damage caused by the measurement and use of this instrument. ・If this instrument is used to
measure highly acidic samples, the sensor section and sample stage may be damaged, resulting in inaccurate measurements. ・Do not use any
metal tools when applying sample to the sensor section. The metal can damage the sensor section. If the sensor section is scratched or damaged,
inaccurate measurements will occur. ・When the unit needs to be washed, use water at a temperature not exceeding 50℃. ・Only use the
specified battery type. Observe proper polarities, properly aligning the anodes and cathodes. ・Do not leave the instrument in a location exposed
to direct sunlight or near a heat source for any extended period of time. ・Do not change the ambient temperature of the instrument suddenly.
・Do not place the instrument where it will be subject to strong vibrations. ・Do not use the instrument where there are excessive amounts of
dust. ・Do not store the instrument in an extremely cool area. ・Do not set or drop heavy objects on top of the instrument. ・Loosen the
battery compartment cover for air transportation. ・The instrument is water-resistant, not waterproof, and should not be submerged.
WARNING
CAUTION
Safety Precautions
The instrument is warranted for one year from the date of purchase. This warranty is void if the instrument shows evidence of the following.
Send the included batteries as well if they are still in use. ・Having been disassembled by unauthorized personnel ・Damages to the sensor section
・Water damage or having been dropped ・Having been misused and/or operated outside the environmental specifications
・Leakage from batteries other than those included with the unit Repair services are available for a fee after the warranty expires. Contact an
ATAGO authorized service center for service and support.
Repair And Warranty
Please have the serial number information ready when contacting a service center.
