Instrument Description
1. Prism
2. Cover Plate
3. Correcting Screw
4. Mirror Tube
5. Eyepiece (Adjusting ring of diopter)
Operating Instructions
1. Use dropper to obtain coolant sample, open the cover plate and place 2-3
drops of the sample onto the prism surface, close the cover plate, press
lightly and ensure the water spreads evenly across the whole surface area
without air bubbles or dry sections. Wait 30 seconds until the liquid sample
adjusts to ambient temperature.
2. Hold towards light source and look into the eyepiece to view the scale, the
coolant readings are located on the far left and right and the battery uid
reading is in the centre.
3. The test reading is taken from where the boundary line between the upper
blue eld and the lower white eld crosses the graduated scale. This reading
is the actual freezing point/concentration level of the coolant or the charge
state of the battery uid.
4. Wipe the prism clean and dry with damp soft cloth and store in the supplied
case.

Calibration
1. Open the cover plate and place 2-3 drops of distilled water onto the prism
surface, close the cover plate, press lightly and ensure the water spreads
evenly across the whole surface area without air bubbles or dry sections.
(wait 30 seconds until the water adjusts to ambient temperature)
2. Hold towards light source and look into the eyepiece, if the boundary line
between the upper blue eld and the lower white eld is not located exactly
on the 0°C waterline, adjust the correcting screw until both lines meet.
3. Wipe the water from the prism with clean dry cloth and replace the rubber
correcting screw cover.
NOTE: under normal operating conditions the calibration only needs to be checked
periodically.
Maintenance
1. If the ambient temperature is not within the automatic temperature
compensation range (10 - 30°C) the instrument must be calibrated before
testing commences.
2. The prism must be cleaned thoroughly with a soft, clean damp cloth after
each use - failure to do so will result in inaccurate readings and possible
long term
damage.
3. The instrument must be kept in a dry clean environment to prevent
condensation forming on the optical components.
4. Use a glass rod to sample battery uid as acid will damage the dropper and
also harm your skin–separate readings must be taken from each cell
5. If used in accordance with the instructions and all warning are followed -
the optical performance will remain constant and the instrument will give
many years of reliable service.

Warning
1. DO NOT IMMERSE IN OR CLEAN WITH RUNNING WATER
2. THIS TOOL IS A PRECISON OPTICAL INSTRUMENT, IT REQUIRES
CAREFULL HANDLING and STORAGE
3. DO NOT DROP OR SUBJECT TO SHOCK AS DAMAGE MAY RESULT TO
THE MIRROR TUBE and OPTICAL COMPONENTS
4. DO NOT SCRATCH OR ATTEMPT TO MEASURE CORROSIVE CHEMICALS
AS DAMAGE MAY OCCUR TO THE PRISM’S COATING
CAUTION – use extreme care when opening the radiator cap – do not remove while
engine is running or the engine is warm. Do not let battery uid come in contact with
skin or eyes – personal injury may result
IT IS RECOMMENED TO WEAR, SAFETY GLASSES AND GLOVES WHENEVER
OBTAINING SAMPLES OF ENGINE COOLANT OR BATTERY FLUID
