The instruments are configured to operate in the °Brix scale with results temperature

compensated to 20°C in accordance with ICUMSA. Additionally, two user scales provide measurement in different formats such as RI, FSII, Báume, Oechsle and Probable Alcohol (A.P.), whilst custom scales may also be loaded in accordance with product data, including user temperature compensation, by using software available free of charge from the Internet.

The robust construction features a sapphire prism mounted in an easy clean stainless steel dish and an outer casing that is sealed and shaped to withstand sample spillage and moisture ingress. This together with the external power supply makes the RFM700 ideal for use in busy laboratories or harsh factory environments. The red LED display is clear and visible in dim or bright lighting, making the instrument suitable for use in Tare Houses and includes scale and temperature compensation indicators. The instrument can also be connected to a printer or laboratory PC, with results being output in standard or CSV formats.

Other new software features include special AG temperature compensation that facilitates a SPAN calibration when using AG calibration fluids and a time delay before reading, ensuring reliable results every time.
