GENERAL DESCRIPTION

SIGNIFICANCE OF USE

Thank you for choosing Milwaukee. This instruction manual will provide you the

necessary information for correct use of the meter.

The MA888 is an optical instrument that employs the measurement of the refractive

index to determine the % volume and freezing point of ethylene glycol based coolants or

antifreeze. The digital refractometer eliminates the uncertainty associated with mechanical

refractometers and is easily portable for use in the field to optimize your cooling system.

The MA888 refractometer is an optical device that is simple and quick to use. Samples are

measured after a simple user calibration with distilled or deionized water. Within seconds,

the refractive index and temperature are measured and converted into one of two mea-

surement units; % Volume or Freezing Point. The instrument utilizes internationally recog-

nized references for unit conversion and temperature compensation for ethylene glycol

solutions (e.g. CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 87th Edition).

The temperature (in °C or °F) is also displayed on the large dual level display along with

helpful message codes.

Key features include:

• Waterproof models offers IP65 waterproof protection

• Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC)

• Battery operation with Low Power indicator

• Automatically turns off after 3 minutes of non-use.

Ethylene Glycol determinations are made by measuring the refractive index of a solution.

Refractive Index is an optical characteristic of a substance and the number of dissolved

particles in it. Refractive Index is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in empty space

to the speed of light in the substance. A result of this property is that light will “bend”, or

change direction, when it travels through a substance of different refractive index. This is

called refraction.

www.milwaukeeinst.com

The critical angle can be used to easily calculate the refractive index according to the

equation:

sin (θcritical) = n2/ n1

Where n2is the refractive index of the lower-density medium; n1is the refractive index of

the higher-density medium.

In the MA888 refractometer, light from an LED passes through a prism in contact with the

sample. An image sensor determines the critical angle at which the light is no longer

refracted through the sample. Specialized algorithms then apply temperature

compensation to the measurement and convert the refractive index to: % Volume or

Freezing Point.

When passing from a material with a higher to lower refractive index, there is a critical

angle at which an incoming beam of light can no longer refract, but will instead be

reflected off the interface.

MEASUREMENT GUIDELINES

• Handle instrument carefully. Do not drop.

• Do not immerse instrument under water.

• Do not spray water to any part of instrument except the “sample well” located over the

prism.

• The instrument is intended to measure ethylene glycol solutions. Do not expose

instrument or prism to solvents that will damage it. This includes most organic solvents

and extremely hot or cold solutions.

• Particulate matter in a sample may scratch the prism. Absorb sample with a soft tissue

and rinse sample well with deionized or distilled water between samples.

• Use plastic pipettes to transfer all solutions. Do not use metallic tools such as needles,

spoons or tweezers as these will scratch the prism.

• Cover sample well with hand if measuring in direct sun.

MEASUREMENT UNITS

Freezing point is displayed as a temperature from 0.0 to -50.0 °C corresponding to

0-58 % by volume. The display blinks the freezing point when the concentration of

Ethylene glycol is greater than 78 % concentration by volume.

When the display shows “LO”, the freezing point is at a minimum (below -50 °C).

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

Calibration should be performed daily, before measurements are made, when the

battery has been replaced, between a long series of measurements, or if environmental

changes have occurred since the last calibration.

1. Press the ON/OFF key, then release. Two instrument test screens will be displayed

briefly; all LCD segments followed by the percentage of remaining battery life. The

meter will then briefly display an indication of the measurement unit set. When the

LCD displays dashes, the instrument is ready.

2. Using a plastic pipette, fill the sample well with distilled or deionized water. Make

sure the prism is completely covered.

Note: If the ZERO sample is subject to intense light such as sunlight or another strong

source, cover the sample well with your hand or other shade during the

calibration.

3. Press the ZERO key. If no

error messages appear, your

unit is calibrated.

(For a description of ERROR

MESSAGES see page 13).

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

Verify the instrument has been calibrated before taking measurements.

1. Wipe off prism surface located at the bottom of the sample well. Make sure the prism

and sample well are completely dry.

2. Using a plastic pipette, drip sample onto the prism surface. Fill the well completely.

Note: If the temperature of the sample differs significantly from the temperature of the

instrument, wait approximately 1 minute to allow thermal equilibration.

3. Press the READ key. The results are displayed as % Volume or Freezing Point.

Note: The 0.0 screen will remain until a sample is measured or the instrument is turned

off.

4. Gently absorb the ZERO water standard with a soft tissue. Use care not to scratch

the prism surface. Dry the surface completely. The instrument is

ready for sample measurement.

Note: If instrument is turned off the calibration will not be lost.
