2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Significance of Use

Thank you for choosing Milwaukee. This instruction manual will

provide you the necessary information for correct use of the meter.

The MA872 is an optical instrument that employs the measurement

of refractive index to determine the % Fructose in aqueous

solutions. The method is both simple and quick. Samples from

expressed, reconstituted or concentrated juice are measured

after a simple user calibration with deionized or distilled water.

Within seconds the instrument measures the refractive index of

the sample and converts it to % by weight concentration units.

The MA872 digital refractometer eliminates the uncertainity

associated with mechanical refractometers and is easily portable

for measurements in the plant.

The measurement technique and temperature compensation

employ methodology recommended in the ICUMSA Methods Book

(Internationally recognized body for Sugar Analysis).

Temperature (in °C or °F) is displayed simultaneously with the

measurement on the large dual level display along with icons for

Low Power and other helpful message codes.

Key features include:

yDual-level LCD

yAutomatic Temperature Compensation (ATC)

yEasy setup and storage

yBattery operation with Low Power indicator (BEPS)

yAutomatically turns o after 3 minutes of non-use.

Remove the instrument from the packing materials and examine

carefully to ensure no damage has occurred during shipping. If

any damage has occurred, notify your Dealer.

Each MA872 instrument is supplied with:

y9 V battery

yInstruction manual

Note: Save all packing material until you are sure that the

instrument functions correctly. A defective instrument must be

returned in its original packing.

4. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The Fructose determination is made by measuring the refractive

index of a solution. Refractive Index is an optical characteristic of

a substance and the number of dissolved particles in it. Refractive

Index is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in empty space

to the speed of light in the substance. A result of this property is

that light will “bend”, or change direction, when it travels through

a substance of dierent refractive index. This is called refraction.

When passing from a material with a higher to lower refractive

index, there is a critical angle at which an incoming beam of

light can no longer refract, but will instead be reflected o the

interface. The critical angle can be used to easily calculate the

refractive index according to the equation:

sin (θcritical) = n2/ n1

Where n2is the refractive index of the lower-density medium; n1is

the refractive index of the higher-density medium.

= angle of incidence

= angle of refraction

n1 , n2 - refractive index

θ θ

In the MA872, light from an LED passes through a prism in contact

with the sample. An image sensor determines the critical angle

at which the light is no longer refracted through the sample.

TheMA872 automatically applies temperature compensation to

the measurement and converts the refractive index of the sample

to Fructose concentration in units of percent (by weight).

5. MEASUREMENT GUIDELINES

yHandle instrument carefully. Do not drop.

yDo not immerse instrument under water.

yDo not spray water to any part of instrument except the

“sample well” located over the prism.

yThe instrument is intended to measure sugar solutions. Donot

expose instrument or prism to solvents that will damage it.

This includes most organic solvents and extremely hot or cold

solutions.

yParticulate matter in a sample may scratch the prism. Absorb

sample with a soft tissue and rinse sample well with deionized

or distilled water between samples.

yUse plastic pipettes to transfer all solutions. Do not use

metallic tools such as needles, spoons or tweezers as these

will scratch the prism.

6. CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

Calibration should be performed daily, before measurements are

made, when the battery has been replaced, or between a long

series of measurements.

1. Press the ON/OFF key, then release. Two instrument test

screens will be displayed briefly; an “all segment” screen

followed by the percentage of remaining battery life. When

LCD displays dashes, the instrument is ready.

2. Using plastic pipettes, fill the sample well with distilled or

deionized water.

Note: If the ZERO sample is subject to intense light such as

sunlight or another strong source, cover the sample well with

your hand or other shade during the calibration.
