1.0 INTRODUCTION

NOTE: Please read these instructions carefully before attempting
to use the instrument.
This Instruction Manual is designed specifically for the REICHERT
ABBE MARK II Refractometer and describes proper set up, use
and routine maintenance of the instrument Sections 7.0 - 7.4 are
applicable only to the REICHERT ABBE MARK II Plus
Refractometer.
The REICHERT ABBE MARK II Refractometer is a durable
bench-top instrument. It provides efficient, reliable and repeatable
readings in three modes:
· % Solids (°Brix)
· % Solids (°Brix) temperature compensated or (BX-TC) and
· Refractive index (n )
D
The REICHERT ABBE MARK II Plus Refractometer can
accommodate a custom program on the % Solids (°Brix) scale.
This can be accomplished with pre-programming or retrofitting at
the factory.

2.0 UNPACKING

The REICHERT ABBE MARK II Refractometer has been carefully
packaged for shipping. Before setting aside the packing materials,
check the box(es) to assure that all items ordered have been
received. Among the accessories in the refractometer box will
be:
• a refractive index test glass (Catalog No. 10451)
• a 1/16" ( No. 4) Allen wrench (Catalog No. X30600)
• a bottle of 1- Bromonaphthaline for measuring solids
(Catalog No. 10452)
• a dust cover (Catalog No. 10450-140)
Check the instrument and model number against the original order
before discarding any packing materials. The original packing
materials may be saved for future storage or transportation of
the refractometer.

4.0 SET UP
The REICHERT ABBE MARK II Refractometer is easy to use.
Very little training is needed to set up and operate the instrument
to obtain temperature and refractive index measurements.

4.1 Equipment Installation

The REICHERT ABBE MARK II Retractometer must be used on
a hard, stable and level surface such as a laboratory table or
work bench.

5.0 CONTROLS

THE REICHERT ABBE MARK II Refractometer controls are
identified in Figure 1.
NOTE: The mode selector switch no longer functions as the on/
off switch. The ON/OFF switch is located on the lower left front
cover of the instrument above the Reichert logo.
Power Switch:
The Power Switch is located in the lower right corner of the front
panel (Figure 1). I = on 0 = off
115~ +/-10%, 50/60 Hz
