Sealey VS0052.V2 Refractometer F.A.Q.

How do I calibrate the Sealey VS0052.V2 Refractometer?

To calibrate the refractometer, place a few drops of distilled water on the prism, close the cover plate, and adjust the calibration screw until the boundary line aligns with the zero mark on the scale.

What types of fluids can the Sealey VS0052.V2 Refractometer measure?

The refractometer can measure antifreeze, battery acid, and windshield washer fluid concentrations.

Why are the readings from my refractometer inconsistent?

Inconsistent readings can occur due to improper calibration, dirty prism surfaces, or temperature variations. Ensure proper calibration and clean the prism with a soft cloth.

How should I clean and maintain the refractometer?

Clean the prism and cover plate with a soft, damp cloth after each use. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Store the refractometer in a dry, dust-free environment.

Can I use the refractometer for measuring other liquids?

The refractometer is specifically designed for automotive fluids. Using it for other liquids may not provide accurate results and can damage the device.

What is the proper way to apply the sample on the refractometer?

Place a few drops of the sample onto the clean prism surface, ensuring it covers the entire surface before closing the cover plate gently.

Why is there no clear boundary line visible through the eyepiece?

Ensure the prism is clean and the cover plate is properly closed. Adjust the focus and calibration if necessary to achieve a clear boundary line.

How do I adjust the focus on the refractometer?

Rotate the eyepiece until the scale can be seen clearly. This will adjust the focus to suit your vision.

What should I do if the refractometer is not providing accurate readings?

Recalibrate the refractometer with distilled water, clean the prism, and check for any physical damage. If issues persist, consult the user manual or contact support.

Is temperature compensation necessary when using the Sealey VS0052.V2 Refractometer?

The refractometer includes automatic temperature compensation (ATC) to ensure accurate readings without manual adjustments for temperature variations.
