SCALE Switch * External Light Interference (ELI) - Patent Pending
When intense light penetrates the prism of a digital refractometer, the light waves
may interfere with the sensor resulting in inaccurate readings.
To ensure accurate measurement results each time, the Palette ␣ is programmed
with the ELI function to display the warning message “nnn” when intense direct
light is detected. Forming a habit of shading the sample stage with your hand
and re-pressing the START/OFF Switch (when the warning message from the ELI
function is displayed) will ensure accurate measurement results each time.
Main Applications
Four models of the Palette
␣
are available
for your different measurement samples.
The continuing evolution of the Palette
–– The Debut of the Palette
␣
The Palette
␣
series is the ultimate compact instrument
which is the result of years of proven reliable performance, ease of operation
and the functionality of design.
Measures concentration of solutions with a light beam
Accuracy improved to ±0.1%
The conventional measurement accuracy, ±0.2%, is
increased to ±0.1%. The highest accuracy available in a
compact model.
External-light-Interference (ELI)*
Conventionally, digital optical instruments have the potential
to display incorrect measurement values if sampling is
performed near a window or outdoors where lighting may be
too intense. The new ELI technology provides security
under these conditions to ensure accurate measurements.
Convenient temperature display
A temperature display function has been added.
The temperature is displayed by simply pressing a switch.
User scale feature
The user scale function has been added. Concentrations of
various samples can be displayed by setting up a
coefficient. Three separate user scales can be entered.
Two-year warranty
ATAGO has extended the warranty term for the Palette ␣
series to 2 years. For the terms and conditions, contact
ATAGO.
Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) function
With ATC, there is no need to worry about the measurement
temperature.
Large, easy to read display
The large-sized liquid crystal panel makes it easy to read
the measured result.
