Adjust the height of the display unit at the
clamp and fasten the mounting screw to
securely fix the shaft in position.
The clamp mount spins free when the
mounting screw is loosened, allowing for
shaft height adjustment at any desired
angle. Position the display unit upright after
the height adjustment is complete.
Height-adjusting shaft is fixed
with the mouting screw.
۔ "LLLL" Measurement Error
ࠉThere is an insufficient amount of sample on the prism surface
to perform measurements.

ࠑNote regarding water resistanceࠒ
Thank you for purchasing the Digital Immersion Refractometer, PAN-1DC. Before operating, read this
instruction manual carefully to understand its contents. Keep the manual with the instrument for future
reference.
To use the instrument safely, the precautions described in this instruction manual must be observed.
Failure to comply may result in injury and/or damage to property.
Introduction
Safety Precautions
Use caution as hot samples can cause severe burns. Do not dip the instrument directly into
a boiling pot to measure.
WARNING
CAUTION
ۍ Do not dip the instrument in any sample that is over 100Υ.
ۍ ATAGO is not liable for any loss and damage caused by the measurement and use of this instrument.
ۍ If this instrument is used to measure highly acidic samples, the prism and prism head may be damaged, resulting in
inaccurate measurements.
ۍ The prism is made of optical glass. Metal tools and/or implements can damage the prism surface. If the surface of the
prism is scratched or damaged, inaccurate measurements will occur.
ۍ Before use, carefully read the instruction manual and fully understand the function and operation of the instrument.
ۍ Supply the instrument with DC24V only (allowable fluctuation is 㼼10 %).
ۍ Do not use power cables that are damaged or modified.
ۍ Do not insert or disconnect the power plug with wet hands.
ۍ Do not leave the instrument in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near a heat source for any extended period of
time.?
ۍ Do not change the ambient temperature of the instrument suddenly.
ۍ Do not place the instrument where it will be subject to strong vibrations.
ۍ Do not use the instrument where there is an excessive amount of dust.
ۍ Do not store the instrument in an extremely cool area.
ۍ Do not set or drop heavy objects on the instrument.
㸺The instrument is equipped with the External Light Interference (ELI)
function to ensure accurate readings㸼
ELI Function
If the instrument is subjected to intense light, such as direct sunlight or
artificial lighting, when measuring a sample or zero setting, the ELI
function will display the [nnnn] (Fig.A) warning message immediately after
the START or ZERO key is pressed. When this happens, shade the prism
head and press the START or ZERO key again. If the warning message
continues to be displayed, place the sample in a non-translucent cup to
measure.
The instrument comes with the following items:
Blinks three times
*Caution
Press the ZERO
key
to display the
temperature first
before zero-setting.
Press the ZERO key
between
measurements to
display the

3. Power and RS-232C output
The power and RS-232C cable connects to the side
of the instrument, and it provides power (DC24V) to
the instrument and transmits Brix data via RS-232C.
One multipurpose socket: serves for both power and
RS-232C output (cable provided in standard
delivery).
The length of a cable is 2m.䚷
The cable can be ordered to a custom length of up
to 15m.

The instrument is warranted for one year after the
date of purchase against any manufacturer defect in
materials or workmanship. Since the instrument is a
precise optical instrument, great care must be taken
in the instrument's storage and use. If any
mistreatment or misuse of the instrument is detected,
the warranty will be voided and repair fees will be
charged. Ask your supplier for more details.
The product is in conformity with the requirements of
the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC.
(1) Brix Scale
All Refractometers are designed to measure the Refractive Index of a solution. The Brix scale is based on a
sucrose (sugar) and water solution. However, since most samples contain substances other than sugar - such
as salts, minerals and proteins - the Brix percentage represents the total concentration of all soluble solids in
the sample. For certain samples, such as cutting oils and other industrial fluids, a conversion chart from the Brix
percentage to the sample's total concentration may be necessary.
(2) Automatic Te m perature Compensation (ATC)
The ATC feature of the instrument displays the measured value of the sample at the standard 20Υ(within the
measurement temperature range of 10 to 95Υ). As the temperature of a solution changes, so does the
Refractive Index. The ATC feature of the instrument is performed by a temperature sensor which measures the
change in prism temperature and then calculates the actual measured value in relation to the temperature
change. Since the prism temperature is changing, allow time for the temperature of the prism and sample to
equalize for the ATC to work properly.
(1)Store this instrument in a dry and shaded area. A damp storage area may cause the optical system to
malfunction or facilitate the growth of mold. Extended exposure to direct sunlight may cause the casing to warp.
(2)Do not use organic solvents (paint thinner, benzene, gasoline, etc.) on the instrument as they will severely
damage the casing.
(3)After use, clean the prism with water and dry any excess moisture with a clean, dry tissue.
