Typographical conventions
The following typographical conventions are used throughout this instruction
manual:
2 Safety Instructions
• Read this instruction manual before using the instrument.
• Make this instruction manual easily accessible to all persons working
with the instrument.
• Follow all hints and instructions in this instruction manual to ensure the
correct use and safe functioning of the instrument.
2.1 Liability
• This instruction manual does not claim toaddress all safety issues
associated with the use of the instrument and samples. It is your
responsibility to establish health and safety practices and to determine
the applicability of regulatory limitations.
•We warrant the proper functioning of the instrument only if no
modifications are made to mechanics, electronics, module firmware, or
instrument software.
•Use the instrument only for the purpose described in the instruction
manual. Eagle Eye is not liable for damages caused by incorrect use of
the instrument.
•The results delivered by the instrument depend not only on the correct
functioning of the instrument but also on various other factors. We
therefore recommend that you have the results checked (e.g. plausibility
tested) by skilled personnel before consequential actions are taken
based on the measured data.

2.2 Installation and Use
• The installation procedure shall be carried out only by authorized
personnel who are familiar with the installation instructions.
•Use only accessories and consumables supplied or approved by Eagle
Eye
•Ensure that all operators have been trained beforehand to use the
instrument safely and correctly.
•Ensure that the instrument is sufficiently supervised during operation.
•In case of damage or malfunction, do not continue operating the
instrument. Do not operate the instrument under conditions which could
result in damage to goods or injuries or loss of life.
•Do not expose the instrument to temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) when
the measuring cell contains water. Freezing water will cause rupture of
the measuring cell.
•The instrument is not insulated against high voltages. Measuring
samples under high voltage (e.g. in energized batterybanks) bears the
risk of an electric shock. Define appropriate testing procedures and
safety measures to protect yourself from any electric shock.
Operation in areas with risk of explosion
• The instrument is not explosion-proof and therefore must not be
operated in areas with risk of explosion.
General precautions
• Observe and adhere to your national safety regulations regarding the
handling of all substances associated with your measurements (e.g. use
safety goggles, gloves, respiratory protection, etc.).
• Before a measurement, check the wetted parts of the instrument for
chemical resistance to the samples and cleaning agents used.

10
EN
Precautions for flammable samples and cleaning agents

distance from the instrument.
• Store only the minimum required amount of sample, cleaning agents,
and other flammable materials near the instrument.
• Do not spill sample/cleaning agents or leave their containers uncovered.
Immediately remove spilled sample/cleaning agents.
• Ensure that the setup location is sufficiently ventilated. The environment
of the instrument must be kept free of flammable gases and vapors.
• Provide fire-extinguishing equipment.
Battery Handling
• Never open the battery compartment in hazardous areas. Exchange the
batteries only outside of hazardous areas.
2.3 Maintenance, Service, Repairs
• Service and repair procedures may be carried out only by authorized
personnel or Eagle Eye.
•For repairs, contact Eagle Eye Power Solutions. The instrument must not
be returned without the filled out "Safety Declaration for Instrument
Repairs" and must be cleaned before return.
•You must not return instruments which are contaminated by radioactive
materials, infectious agents, or other harmful substances that cause
health hazards.
2.4 Disposal
• Concerning the disposal of the instrument, observe the legal
requirements in your country.

3 SG-Ultra Max – Overview
The portable density meter SG-Ultra Max measures the density of liquids in
g/cm3or kg/m3by the oscillating U-tube method. Apart from density you can
select various further measuring units (relative density, density at reference
temperature, concentrations). A temperature sensor measures the sample
temperature directly at the measuring cell. The temperature is displayed and
can beused internally for automatic temperature compensation of the
density reading if required.
Owing to the compact design it is easy to perform measurements on samples
which are difficult to access. A TFT display ensures clear visibility of results,
even in dark surroundings. The backlight of the oscillator at the same time
enables you to observe the filling process in detail.
Samples are filled into the measuring cell using the built-in pipette-style
pump or a syringe. You can allocate sample IDs to your samples for easier
identification.
SG-Ultra Max is operated via keys on the front side. Up to 1024 measured
data can be stored in the memory of the SG-Ultra Max density meter and
can be recalled, exported to a PC, or printed later. The transfer of the
stored measured data to aprinter or PC is done wirelessly using the
integrated Bluetooth interface.
SG-Ultra Max is additionally equipped with an RFID interface. Via this
interface, sample IDs and methods can be uniquely linked to an RFID tag.
Later on, by reading the RFID tag, you can switch quickly and easily
between different sample IDs and methods which further increases the
efficiency of your measuring process.

3.1 Measuring Principle
Definition of density
The density (ρ) of a sample is defined as its mass (m) divided by its volume (V):
As the volume changes with temperature, density is a temperature-
dependent measuring unit.
The oscillating U-tube method
The sample is introduced into a U-shaped borosilicate glass tube that is
being electronically excited to vibrate at its characteristic frequency. The
characteristic frequency changes depending on the density of the sample.
With the determination of the characteristic frequency, the density of the
sample can be calculated. Due to the temperature dependency of the density
value, the temperature of the sample has to be determined precisely.
Concentration measurement
In binary mixtures, the density of the mixture is a function of its composition.
Thus, with the aid of density/concentration tables, the density value of a
binary mixture can be used to calculate its composition.
This procedure is also applicable for so-called quasi-binary mixtures. These
mixtures contain two major components and some additional ones in very
small concentrations compared to the two main components.
Many decarbonated soft drinks, for example, can be considered to be quasi-
binary mixtures of sugar and water because the concentrations of flavors and
acids are very small compared to those of sugar and water. Hence, the sugar
concentration can be determined with a density meter.
The same holds for the determination of the alcohol concentration in
distillates that can be considered to be quasi-binary mixtures of ethanol and
water.

6.2 Mounting the Syringe Adapter
For some applications, e.g. filling samples of higher viscosity, filling via
syringe may be more convenient. To do so, mount the syringe adapter.
Mounting the syringe adapter
1. Remove the screw plug (see fig. 5-1).
2. Screw in the adapter Luer ¼" UNF by hand until some resistance against
further turning can be felt. Tighten with your fingers only, do not use any
tools.
