PR-32

Cat.No.3405

Four models of the Palette

are available for your different measurement samples.

Main Features

Accuracy improved to ±0.1%

The conventional measurement accuracy, ±0.2%, is
increased to ±0.1%. The highest accuracy available in a
compact model.

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.

Convenient temperature display

A temperature display function has been added.
Temperature is displayed by pressing a switch.

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.

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.

Apply 1 drop of sample solution

onto the prism surface.

Control of dilution ratio (multiples in %)

When water soluble cutting oils, aqueous cleaning agents,
surfactants, liquid chemicals. etc. are diluted for use, their
dilution ratio (multiples in %) can be managed by the
Palette

series.

Control of water content (%)

The water content in certain kinds of metal working oils,
liquid cleansers, and liquid medicine, can evaporate while
being used. To maintain the level of highest efficiency for
the liquid, water needs to be replenished for optimal
efficiency. In such cases, change in the water content can
be managed by the Palette

series.

Control the blend ratio of two liquids (%)

When a liquid additive is mixed with a primary liquid (for
example, when flux or working oil is dissolved into a liquid
cleanser), the blend ratio (%) of the foreign liquid can be
managed by the Palette

series.

Measurement Method

Measures concentration of solutions with a light beam

Accuracy assured!!

The Palette

is manufactured to ISO 9001 standards with the

highest quality materials to ensure that the sample liquids
such as water-soluble cutting oils, washing liquids, industrial
liquids and various chemicals, will be measured accurately.

Cat.No.3442

PR-201

Cat.No.3452

PR-301

Cat.No.3462

This instrument measures the refractive index of liquids and converts the measured value into the sugar concentration value, ‘Brix.’
The relationship between the refractive index and Brix (%) concentration is based on the type of liquid. With the user function, direct
concentration measurements can now be displayed by establishing and programming the respective coefficient into the user scale.

* 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.
