The cooling cover adds water cooling to a PR-43 refractometer when the refractometer
temperature threatens to rise too high for its electrical components. A cooling cover
is needed when the ambient temperature is over 45°C (113°F) or the refractometer
internal temperature alarm has been triggered, which happens when the internal temperature rises over 65°C (149°F). It is recommended to use cooling cover when internal
temperature rises above 60°C (140°F). The cooling cover is installed between the cover
plate and the sensor cover.

1.1 Disposal
When wishing to dispose of an obsolete instrument, please observe local
and naonal regulaons and requirements for the disposal of electrical
and electronic equipment. The cooling cover can be recycled with other
metallic waste of the same type.
3. Detach the cable connectors from the circuit board. Then unscrew the circuit board.
Remove the desiccant and O-ring, they are not needed any more.
4. Add the new O-ring and the new desiccant to the cooling cover (fold the edges of
the desiccant under the package to make it t the slot) and screw on the circuit
board. Reaach the cable connectors to the circuit board.
5. Insert cooling cover into the refractometer, add cover plate and fasten with the new
longer screws. Note that there is no O-ring between the cover plate and the cooling
cover.

The ow can be quite a bit below maximum as long as the sensor internal temperature
stays below 60°C (140°F). K-Patents recommends that used water is directed to a drain.
The coolant connecon is a 1/8" NPT female thread. Connect inlet to one and outlet to
the other connecon, it doesn’t maer which way they are connected, because cooling
cover is symmetrical.

2.3 Removing the cooling cover
If you want to remove the cooling cover, use the two M5x20pullingscrews: rst remove
the cover plate retaining screws and the cover plate. Then remove the cooling cover
with the pulling screws.
