7.6 Refractometer difference logic
If there are two refractometers in operation (taken into operation, not washing), the
Control unit monitors the difference in reading between the two instruments (ig-
ure 7.6). If the difference is more than 2%, a refractometer difference warning is given
with the corresponding front panel indicator and relay.
The divert decision logic (section 7.2) is not affected by the refractometer difference,
but a signiicant difference between the two instruments indicates one of the instru-
ments is not measuring reliably. In this case the instruments and wash systems have
to be checked immediately. Ignoring to do this may result in an erroneous divert de-
cision.
