APPLICATIONS AND USE Chapter 1
1. APPLICATIONS AND USE
1.1 APPLICATIONS
The Refractometric Analysis Unit UR-62 has been designed exclusively for continuously measuring the Refractive
Index and consequently the concentration of liquid products in process lines in those refractometric applications
where a continuous indication of the variable being monitored is required but which do not require a high level of
accuracy; hence the sensor may not be used as a measuring element in a high-precision regulation loop but only in
simple time proportioning ON/OFF control systems: any other use is to be considered improper.
The special construction technology used makes it possible to measure different types of product, even if they are
opaque, dense or contain suspended particles; furthermore the measurement is not affected by the pressure or the
speed of the product in the sampling point. For products with a high dirtying tendency, a special version is available
with an integrated prism cleaning system.
The UR-62 Analysis Unit is fitted with an internal precision sensor for detecting the temperature of the product directly
on the production line. Being as the Refractive Index is affected by this parameter, special calculation algorithms are
used to compensate temperature variations automatically, thus providing the user with a measurement which does
not depend on the temperature of the product.
The main fields of application involve production processes for concentrating, diluting and mixing substances or
titration procedures in the food, chemical, textile, petrochemical industries etc., for continuous or batch production
lines.
The main features which differentiate this instrument from other Maselli Misure S.p.A. products are its extreme
compactness and the excellent quality/performance/price ratio it offers.
A series of special fittings make it quick and easy to install directly on the process line or tank.
The Refractometer unit can be used as a Stand-Alone instrument by using the RS485 serial output or converting
this signal by means of a special module in mA output. Alternatively when coupled with the special Receiver it can
constitute an On Line measuring assembly.

WORKING PRINCIPLE Chapter 4
4. WORKING PRINCIPLE
4.1 WORKING PRINCIPLE

The working principle of the UR-62 is based on the physical phenomena of total reflection and refraction of light. It
is known that a ray of light that passes from one medium "A" to another medium "B," each with a different refractive
index, does not proceed in a straight line, but will deflect at the interface of the two media. The extent of the deflection
is a function of the nD (refractive index) of medium "B." The angle at which the light ray passing through medium "A"
strikes the interface is called the "angle of incidence" and is a fundamental parameter in the study of refraction. This is
defined as the angle formed between the light ray and the axis perpendicular to the interface plane.
Referring to Figure 4.1.a, the optical section of the Refractometric Analysis Unit UR-62, includes:
 LED light source,
 Optical lens
 Measuring prism (medium "A"),
 CCD assembly for image detection.
Referring to Figure 4.1.a below, if we imagine a series of rays with different angles of incidence, we notice that,
progressing from light source ray 1 to rays 2,3,4 and so on, we encounter a condition in which the incident ray
does not enter medium "B" (product) but deflects parallel to the surface of the measuring prism (ray 3').
The angle of incidence at which this phenomenon occurs is called the "critical angle," and is a characteristic of the
two media "A" (measuring prism) and "B" (product).
This value can be computed from the equation:
nDB
 = sin L
nDA
where L = the critical angle
Continuing to decrease the angle of incidence beyond the critical angle, upon reaching medium "B" the rays (1, 2,
3) are reflected as if the surface of medium "B" were a mirror. The deflection of the incident rays no longer follows
the law of refraction, but rather the law of reflection. That is, the angle of reflection is the same as the angle of
incidence.
If a beam of light rays with different incidence angles reaches the "A/B" (prism/product) interface, we will observe
that those rays with angles of incidence less than the critical angle will refract and enter medium "B," while those
rays having an angle of incidence greater than the critical angle, as determined by media "A" and "B," will reflect
back into medium "A".

Chapter 4 WORKING PRINCIPLE
Figure 4.1.a - UR-62 Refractometer principle
This phenomenon can therefore be used to determine the refractive index of one of the media. If we consider that
the nD of "A" (the measuring prism) is a known constant, and we vary the concentration of medium "B" (the
product to be analyzed), it is possible to calculate the refractive index of the product for any concentration by
simply measuring the critical angle at which reflection first occurs (the reflected ray 3 that is associated with the
infinitesimally close incident rays 3 and 3’).
Referring to the previous formula, if the nD of "A" (the prism) is a constant, we can conclude that A = K. Therefore:
nDB
 = sin L nDB = K * sin L
K
By measuring the critical angle, we can determine the refractive index of the analyzed product, nD of "B".
In the Refractometric Analysis Unit UR-62, a carefully-selected electronic component (LED) creates a beam of
light which, using a special optical system, passes through the measurement prism, where it comes into contact
with the product to be analyzed.
The interface between the prism and liquid is where the phenomenon of refraction occurs. The beam of light is
split into two parts: one part refracts into the sample, dispersing, and is absorbed by the product. The other part of
the beam reflects at the product surface as if it were a mirror, following the laws previously described. This light
then falls upon the optical image detection sensor (CCD) inside the instrument.
Analyzing the resulting image of the light beam at this point, one can observe that it is divided into two parts; one
part is bright, while the other part is practically dark. The position of the separation line between light and shadow
is directly proportional to the refractive index of the product. A very accurate measurement of the position of this
separation line is made using the optical CCD sensor, composed of a series of 2546 individual image sensors
(pixels).

CONSTRUCTION Chapter 5
5. CONSTRUCTION
5.1 CONSTRUCTION
The Refractometric Analysis Unit UR-62 has been engineered to have a compact structure which, thanks to its
small size can be installed anywhere on the production system. Depending on the product to be analyzed, as well as
in the standard version, instruments with an integrated cleaning system are also available. The spinel prism (G) in
contact with the product rest on the elastic seal elements (D) to limit concentration of mechanical strain and
susceptibility to impact as well as to guarantee an airtight seal towards the interior of the instrument.
It is basically made up of two elements:
 Main structure (A). This is a cylindrical enbloc casing with a removable lid containing the Central Unit with
microprocessor (CPU) (B) on which the CCD image detection system is housed
together with the interconnection connector (L). The material used (stainless steel) and
the system for installation on the line (which is specific for each application), permits
moderate dissipation of the internal temperature and use with high-temperature
products.
 Prism holder: This is a cylindrical enbloc designed to support the measurement prism (G), the LED
light source (I), the optics section (H) and the temperature detection system (C). Due to
the particularly sturdy construction which this element needs to have, it is made from
AISI 316 stainless steel or, on request, other materials with equivalent or higher
mechanical characteristics. This component can be fitted with a prism cleaning system
(F) controlled by an electric motor (E).
The Refractometric Analysis Unit UR-62 has been designed and built to be installed in an industrial environment.
The particular construction techniques applied guarantee a protection rating of IP67 in accordance with EN 60529
(DIN 40050).

INSTALLATION Chapter 7
7. INSTALLATION
7.1 INSTALLATION
Being as the Refractometer Analysis Unit UR-62 has no moving parts and has a high degree of protection against
external elements, it can be installed in various points on the system, however to avoid any operational problems and
obtain maximum performance from the instrument, always observe the recommendations indicated below for the
various installation options:
**********************
Installation on the piping:
 DO NOT install the refractometer unit near the suction point of pumps or turbines (1) as this could create
product “gaps” in front of the measurement prism thus compromising stability of the measurement. In general
it is preferable to install the unit somewhere along the delivery line of the pump (2).
 DO NOT install the unit in such a way that permanent air pockets may accumulate near the sensor prism. For
the same reason, never install the sensor with the prism pointing downwards along horizontal piping (5).
 DO NOT install the unit with the prism pointing upwards along sections of piping where sediments may build
up on the bottom (6,7). This recommendations only refers to applications where the product does in fact
contain dispersed solids or particulate which is subject to sedimentation during interruptions in line flow.
 In general it is preferable to select an installation point somewhere along the vertical or oblique pipelines
with an ascending flow 3, 4, 8).
 Install the refractometer with the prism always in counter-flow to the product in other words, the direction of
product flow must always be such that it hits the prism head on.
 DO NOT install on piping characterized by the presence of constant strong vibrations: over time this could
have a negative impact on the correct operation of the electronics or optics section. (A)
 Make absolutely sure that no light source can project its rays onto the refractometer prism as this would
completely compromise measurement accuracy (the optical image of the refracted light gets added to the that
produced by external rays). For this reason it is essential to avoid installing the instrument anywhere near
inspection windows, especially it they are also backlit and/or the product being measured is transparent. (B) In
general it is advisable to keep the instrument at least 1.5 m further down the pipe.

Chapter 7 INSTALLATION
 When installing the instrument on pipelines made from transparent or translucent material, it is advisable to
shield sections (at least 1.5 m in length) in an up- and downstream direction from the refractometer with a
black covering.
 Make sure that the prism is always covered with product even during production stoppages, especially if
stoppages are long: failure to observe this recommendation could result in the thin layer of liquid left on the
prism drying out and in so doing depositing a patina of solid residue on the prism which may then be very
difficult to remove.
For this reason installation (8) is not recommended as a vertical pipe with a downward flow is more likely to empty
out during a production stoppage.
**********************
Flow conditions in the pipe:
 Guarantee a good flow speed in the pipe in order to ensure that product circulation speed in front of the prism
is sufficient. This helps to prevent the formation of so-called “coatings” (typical of certain products),
consequently the measurements of the product transiting along the pipe moment by moment are far more
accurate. There is no universal rule for every type of product in every kind of flow condition, however, in
general a minimum flow speed of 1.5 m/sec is recommended (reference category DN80 or higher) (C2).
 Within the range of the same line with equal operating conditions, always favor sections of the pipe with a
lower diameter in order to make the most of the higher flow speed (C1).
 Favor installation on a bend as it makes it possible to expose the prism towards the central portion of the flow
which in laminar motion conditions is faster. The larger the section of piping the more this indication is valid.
**********************

Installation on a tank:
 Take special care to avoid installing the instrument at a height where the surface of the prism might not
always be covered by the liquid. Consequently, production process permitting, it is preferable to install the
refractometer somewhere below the minimum level mark. (D1, D2).
 Position the refractometer at a height where whirling of the product brought about by the stirring system is at
its maximum.
 Always favor, whenever possible, installation in a recirculation circuit outside the tank (D4).
Installation on the bottom of the tank is permitted as long as care is taken over the choice of installation accessory
and the instrument is not positioned in a point where the turbulence created by the stirrer is insufficient for preventing
the sedimentation of any solids which may be dispersed in the product (D3).
**********************
Ambient conditions:
 Avoid exposing the refractometer to direct sunlight and the elements. Although the instrument has been
designed with a high degree of protection, it is still advisable to use a protective sheet metal cover if it is to be
installed outside.

 Install the instrument in an area of the system where correct ventilation is not compromised, especially if the
ambient temperature is particularly high.
General recommendations and safety regulations:

 Make sure that after installation the unit fixing screws and the clamps are securely tightened.
Please remember that instrument installation must be carried out by expert personnel only in safety conditions,
avoiding all situations of potential danger for the technician and others.
In particular it is essential to:
 avoid working in unstable or precarious conditions,
 wear suitable clothing and any necessary PPE if the system temperature may in any
way constitute a hazard,
 wear safety glasses and non-slip footwear.
 avoid the dispersion of polluting, toxic or hazardous substances into the
environment.
For any other precautions not specified herein, always adhere to the Safety in the Workplace Regulations/Legislation
currently in force in the country of use.
7.1.1 ASSESSMENT OF THE TYPES OF INSTALLATION

Installation of the UR-62 can basically be carried out in four different ways:
a. Directly on the main piping: installation directly on the piping offers economic advantages in terms of
installation but may create problems in term of maintenance: if it ever becomes necessary to intervene and
remove the instrument from the line, even to carry out simple prism cleaning operations, production must be
stopped before the operation can be performed. In this type of installation it is a good idea to use two shut-off
valves to isolate the UR-62 from the production line during stoppages for when technical interventions need to
be carried out (E1).
b. In secondary by-pass with circulation guaranteed by the effect of the pressure differences between the take-
up points: installation in by-pass without the aid of a circulation pump is only possible when the circuit can
withstand the friction loss created by the membrane or the throttling valve installed on the piping. This type of
installation envisages the installation not only of a throttling valve but also two by-pass shut-off valves needed
to isolate the refractometer from the line to allow maintenance operations to go ahead without having to stop
production. This type of installation may be useful when the size of the main piping is very large or when the
flow speed is low and needs to be slightly speeded up for the refractometer. In the event of maintenance on
the instrument, continuous production is not compromised (E2).
c. On the main piping with service by-pass: installation on the main line makes it possible to have maximum flow
rate available at all timed. Also with this type of installation it is necessary to install two shut-off valves which,
however, must be installed along the main pipe. The by-pass will only be opened when maintenance needs to
be carried out on the refractometer, also in this case continuous production is not compromised (E3).

d. Directly on the tank: in this last type of installation it is necessary to guarantee continuous recirculation of the
product in front of the prism, avoiding any possible formation of stagnation in any areas of the tank. It is also
important to pay attention to any scrapers or stirrers (when installed), making sure that they cannot in any way
damage the measurement prism (D1, D2, D3). As previously mentioned, however, the possibility of having a
recirculation circuit outside the tank can always be taken into consideration as it offers all the best fluid-
dynamic conditions which are typical of a pipeline installation.
7.1.2 MANAGEMENT OF THE LIQUID INTERFACES

One of the most widespread applications of the instrument consists in the management of so-called interfaces.
This refers to those cases in which a liquid, usually water, is used to “push” the product out of the piping during
washing and sanitization procedures. Theoretically, during this phase the process drains should be opened, but
this would involve wasting all the volume of product held in the process piping. In order to recover at least a part of
useful product, the refractometer is used as an instrument which provides a rapid response: as soon as the
refractometer detects a sharp drop (or increase) in concentration, it sends a signal to the drain valve piloting
system to divert the flow immediately from recovery to the drain outlet.
To pinpoint the most favorable position for the refractometer on the pipeline, it is always necessary to take into
account both the refractometer response time, tUR (equal to 1 second) and the reaction time of the actuation
system, tVALV. If the speed of the flow is not constant, it is obviously important to take into consideration the
maximum value, whereas if the interface, i.e. where the water meets the product, is not a very net separation but
characterized by an ample front, then it is necessary to move the refractometer back away from the valve by a
further distance at least equal to the length of the interface front.
The instrument can be cleaned and sterilized using the methods used to clean the piping on which it is
installed. Installation of the UR-62 on the piping or in the tank must be executed using the relative
installation accessories described in the following heading.

7.2 INSTALLATION ACCESSORIES

1) To insert the Analysis Unit in the system when installing the unit on the direct or by-pass piping, on a curved
or straight section, or on the tank, a 2" stub pipe to be welded directly onto the line is provided. The appliance
is fixed to the connector using the relative fitting which makes it possible to adjust insertion. It is essential for the
product temperature be >70°C with instrument insertion not > 30mm.
When mounting on vertical piping weld the stub pipe on a slant of at least 15°.
It is suggested to perform the weldings (if foreseen) according to EN1672-2 or equivalent, if the application is in the
food industry.

2) It is also possible to install the equipment on the variable cap deflectors in the DF15 series. Depending on the
temperature of the system two types of adapter are available. With this type of installation it is important that
the unit does not protrude by more than 1.5 mm from the adapter clamp.
There are two versions of the adapter in question: one made completely from steel (right) and one with a central
body made from PEEK (left); the latter is used when the product temperature reaches 90°C.
Installation of the instrument using the so-called “deflector” offers three main advantages:
1 – it allows for better adaptability to the production line piping,
2 – it offers the possibility to adjust the passage section on the prism and hence the speed of product flow (self-
cleaning),
3 – it renders the prism an instrument which is much more accessible consequently facilitating inspection and any
cleaning operations.
As already mentioned, the passage section on the prism is regulated by the distance existing between the lower
surface of the removable plug and the prism itself; at the time of ordering, if flow rate data is provided (recommended)
the plug is sized and made so as to create optimum product flow over the surface of the prism.
WARNING: IT IS IMPORTANT TO REFER TO THE “INSTALLATION GUIDE" FOR THE ACCESSORY

remembering that the reference arrows indicated on the deflector and the plug must be aligned when
installation has been completed. Do not replace the deflector plug with any other you happen to have as the
characteristics may be different.

The total length of the deflector L=200 mm is consistent with both the Tri-Clamp connector and the connectors
which have to be welded.
The "Tri-Clamp" connectors and relative pipes for connection to the central body of the deflector are made from
INOX AISI 316 or other specific material. If there is a fitting for a thermometric probe, close the hole with the relative
plug

3) In particular applications installation on the special deflector is also possible without the plug. The deflection
effect of the product flow is exactly the same as with series DF15 deflectors but the width of the light passage
cannot be modified. It is more simple and consequently cheaper but only suitable for a limited range of flow rates.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Chapter 8
8. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
8.1 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

For connection to the power supply, the Refractometric Analysis Unit UR-62 is fitted with a 5-m long multipolar
shielded twisted pair cable (12 x 0.14 mm) prewired with a waterproof, molded connector.
The equipment must be supplied with power using either of the following specifications:
 AC 24V ±10% 50...60Hz, 80mA or
 DC 24V ±10% 80mA.
If the appliance is powered by an “AC” current UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES CARRY OUT the connection
between the power supply’s neutral and the PE. Furthermore, if the power supply is provided by a transformer,
make sure that connection to earth of a pole of the secondary winding is not required.
Failure to observe this warning may lead to serious damage of the appliance.
We recommend to use only the supplied cable, and to connect it to an interconnection terminal board as shown by
the relative connection schematics.
Optionally, can supply a waterproof plastic interconnection box, pre-connected to the cable. If needed, the
interconnection box can also be supplied including a power supply transformer for the following:
 AC 85…264V ±10%, 50...60Hz, 24W.
We recommend to correctly insert the connector, paying careful attention to the orientation tab and, in order to
maintain the proper degree of protection, to tighten them correctly. To avoid short circuits and/or dangerous
electrical discharges that may injure the operator and/or damage to the equipment, do not make connections or
touch the terminal blocks with voltage connected to the line.
Electrical connections must always be made by qualified personnel, in accordance with local
safety regulations. Refer to the appropriate connection schematic, corresponding to the version
supplied.
Before supplying power to the instrument, we recommend that you reconfirm the unit’s type,
features and supply voltage, as well as the proper wiring per current regulations, in order to
avoid an improper installation which might result in serious injury to personnel or equipment
damage.
If power supply requirements are not respected, either in overload or short circuit, the cable
and/or instrument could be so damaged that an adequate safety can no longer be guaranteed.
To assure the unit’s optimal operation and compliance with the rules for radio interference, we
recommend the use of shielded cables where it is indicated, and to not exceed the indicated
lengths.
It is also recommended to install an overload switch in series with the main supply. If the unit is
supplied with more than 50VAC voltage to interconnection box, protection against direct or
indirect electrical short circuits is mandatory.
If the Maselli interconnection box is used, install it in a location adequately protected from the weather, and follow
these recommendations:
 After making the connections, carefully tighten the cover’s screw.
 Properly tighten the cables in their cable strain reliefs.
 Do not remove the original protection plugs from those cable strain reliefs not used.
 Do not remove the protection plugs from the RS485 and USB connectors if they are not being used.
8.2 ALARM/CLEANING DEVICE CONTACT CONNECTION

The Refractometric Analysis Unit UR-62 is equipped with two relay output contacts which may be connected to
signaling or acoustic alarm devices to alert operating personnel if the Brix reading goes out of the set measurement
range.
These contacts are voltage free and consequently need a connection which includes an external power supply
(optionally this can also be provided by an external connection box). A third relay output contact can be used, by
acting on the software settings, to manage an external prism cleaning device.
The output contacts of the Refractometric Analysis Unit UR-62 may be used not only for activating an acoustic or
visual warning device but also for activating a block of the production line. All contacts have a load of DC/AC
24V/500mA.

Chapter 8 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
8.3 ANALOG OUTPUT CONNECTION

An analog 4…20mA output channel (optional) is available by means of a RS485/mA Converter Module, which can
be installed in the connection box or supplied separately, for repetition of the measurement. The available
RS482/mA Converter Module which can be powered with a 24VDC voltage only.
8.4 SERIAL CONNECTION

A two-wire RS485 serial output is envisaged on the Refractometric Analysis Unit UR-62 to be used for
configuration operations when setting values and alarm modes and for calibrating and selecting the measurement
scale via a Personal Computer, Mini PC configurator or specific digital Receiver (optionals). On the connection box
(optional) said RS485 serial output is always available on a 4-pole connector while any USB output with the same
function for configuring the alarms/cleaner can be inserted in the box as an optional by using a RS485/USB Converter
Module (which can also be supplied separately without the connection box).
The RS485 connector and the USB connector are located on the long side of the box, on the same side as cable
input: to gain access to them unscrew and remove the watertight protection plugs.

PROGRAMMING Chapter 9
9. PROGRAMMING
9.1 GENERAL
The Refractometric Analysis Unit UR-62 is programmable and interfaceable by means of the special utility software
which must be installed on a PC.
One of the main characteristics of the Refractometric Analysis Unit UR-62 is the possibility it offers for one
operator to perform complete programming of the various functions; this feature offers a number of advantages
from optimal configuration of the process to the possibility of replacing or swapping over the various instruments.
Said programming can be performed only with the aid of the specific Utility software provided with the instrument
which must be installed on the PC.
9.2 INTRODUCTION TO THE UTILITY

The Refractometric Analysis Unit UR-62 unit is a basic part of the Maselli modular system for the measurement of
products in process lines, in the food, chemical, textiles, and petrochemical industries, and on continuous or batch
type plants. URXX Utility is a specific application supplied with the refractometer for the control and acquisition of data
via PC.
The application is designed and developed to facilitate the work of quality control laboratory technicians and is
capable of prompt delivery of data and responses to all requirements:
 Monitoring and control of the production line.
 Providing real-time data and information on plant performance parameters.
 Direct editing of working parameters applied on the process line.
All the necessary functions are presented in the form of user-friendly windows so that the system can easily be
used even by unskilled personnel.
The software is running in the Microsoft® Windows graphic environment: this aspect makes it highly versatile
because it provides the operator with the entire series of features associated with Windows®, such as the facility to
import, export, and exchange data in both text and graphic form, between the various applications in use.
After an initial phase of selection and set up of working parameters, the operator can very easily retrieve values
from the connected instrument, analyse the data received, displaying the values in numerical, graphic and
statistical format, export data for subsequent processing, print graphics and tables, and obtain from the program
an entire range of indications that allow to improve the quality of the controlled product, rationalising production
times and costs.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The URXX Utility Software can be installed and run on any PC equipped with:
 Intel Pentium or equivalent
 CD-ROM optical unit.
 Minimum 512 MB RAM.
 485 serial port.
The software will function correctly only when used with one of the following operating systems: Microsoft®
Windows.

Chapter 9 PROGRAMMING
9.3 CHARACTER CONFIGURATION
CHARACTER:
It is necessary to install the “fixedsys” directory for equal character spacing.
For further clarification regarding this type of operation, please refer to the manuals supplied with Microsoft®
Windows.
9.4 INSTALLATION OF “URXX UTILITY” AND URXX MEMORY UPGRADE

The software installation is an extremely simple and automated procedure that should not present any problem,
especially if the operators involved have at least basic notions of the Microsoft® Windows graphic environment.
When the steps illustrated below are executed in sequence, the software will be correctly installed and the
program will be ready to use. When Microsoft® Windows has been successfully installed, proceed as follows:
a) Insert the CD-ROM into the computer drive.
b) A window will appear automatically where the following directories are present:
- URXX Utility
- Upgrade Memory.
c) Open the “URXX Utility” and launch guided installation of the file present.
d) Open the “Upgrade Memory” folder and install the “Setup.Exe” file. At this point follow the instructions
which appear on the screen.
9.5 PURPOSE OF THE UTILITY

As mentioned in chapter 1, the URXX Utility is an application developed to run under Microsoft® Windows and
designed to assist the operator in managing the Refractometer UR-62 directly from the laboratory; in this context,
the Utility offers the following features:
 Real-time display on PC of the measured variables (see main panel).
 Real-time editing from PC of the operating parameters of the Refractometer UR-62 without using the
function keys on the instrument.
 Display of the CCD optical image, printing, saving on disk and retrieval (recall) in order to compare it with
stored images (the same options are available also for the calculated derivative image).
 Retrieval and saving of all the instrument's operating parameters in a file so that they can be consulted and
automatically restored in the event of corruption.
 Saving, at programmable intervals, of the values measured by the instrument (e.g. Brix, Temperature, etc.).
The resulting file is in ASCII code and can therefore be consulted with standard Windows text processing
software (Notepad, Wordpad) or imported into an Excel spreadsheet.

9.6 INITIAL SETTINGS

In order to dialogue correctly with the Refractometer UR-62, the Utility must be set up with the correct serial port
configuration parameters, which must be identical to the instrument settings.
This is achieved by entering the following parameters in the “Communication Setup” panel:
Com Setup COM1…COM8

Baud Rate (default = 19200 Baud)
UR-XX Address (default = 0)
These parameters are displayed on the instrument in Level 2 under the option "Serial Port".
The communication status between the PC and the Refractometer UR-62 is displayed in real time in the various
setup and control panels by means of the following two messages:
ON LINE if communication is enabled

OFF LINE if communication is disabled.
In the event of communication errors re-check the settings described above and check the electrical connections
between the instrument and the PC.
9.7 MAIN MENU

When the URXX Utility is started from the relevant menu the system provides access to a series of panels and
programmable functions; the first panel to be presented is the main panel from which the various parameters
provided on instrument UR-62 can be set.
The section on the left of the panel provides a simultaneous display of the principal measurement parameters,
namely the repetition of the measurement and temperature, the status of any possible alarm that may be present,
further to some technical values.
Bx Displays the concentration value in BRIX units.
Temp. ^X Displays the temperature value, either in °C or °F.
Comp. Temp. Displays the value, indicated in BRIX or in the USER scale units, of the correction made
on the measurement due to the compensation for temperature.
Max. Deriv. Displays the value of the derivative calculation.
Pixel Max. Displays the numerical pixel value corresponding to the shadow/light separation line on the
CCD.
The section at the top right of the panel supplies the indication of the communication status between the unit and
the line, specifically, the "OFF LINE" label when the communication link is interrupted, or the "ON LINE" label
when the instrument is connected.

The “URXX Options” section contains the buttons to access the programming, calibration and diagnostic menus.
9.7.1 SERIAL SETUP
By pressing the button when the instrument is "OFF-LINE" you can enter the next
panel, "Communication Setup".
This panel serves to enter settings relative to the serial port on which the instrument is connected for data
acquisition, transmission rate (baud rate), and address of the instrument with which an interface is to be
established. After you have made the required settings, press the “Save Change” button to save the new settings.
Alternatively press "Return" to go back to the main menu without saving the communication setup.
The "Serial Monitor" button opens the "URXX Serial" panel that shows details of the information transmitted
between the PC and the UR-62 instrument. In the event of communication problems eventual errors will appear in
this panel. Press the "RETURN" button to return to the previous menu.
If the communication parameters are different to those set as default values, modify them checking to see when
the relative “LABEL” turns green.
For the model with the RS485/mA converter, it is essential for the “Force Adam Protocol at Exit” to be set as
“Yes”.

9.7.2 PARAMETERS MANAGER
Press the button in the main menu to access the "Parameters Manager" panels.
"Parameters Manager" panel prior to "Capture from URXX".
As mentioned earlier, the user can adopt different methods to manage and monitor plant production. This panel
allows retrieving UR-XX parameters, editing them locally, and save them to disk.
The "Parameters Operations" box on the panel’s left contains the main operations that the UR-XX Utility can perform.

A. CAPTURE FROM URXX
With the "Capture from URXX" function the operator can retrieve in real time the desired parameters applied to
the line. Such parameters will be stored in a temporary buffer where they can be edited or saved.
B. SEND PARAMETERS TO URXX
The "Send Parameters" function allows transmitting parameters to the process line and activating them.
C. SAVE ON DISK
This command allows saving the parameter settings made in the previous steps. If you fail to click this button,
when you quit the panel your changes will be lost.
D. PRINT PARAMETERS
Select this function if you require a complete printout of all the stored product parameters. The "Print/Preview
Parameters" function also provides access to the "Param. Preview" panel.
E. RECALL FROM DISK
Use this function to retrieve parameters that are already present in the memory.

9.7.3 CCD IMAGE
Press the button from the main menu to access a panel that provides a graphic display
of the optical image transmitted by the CCD sensor installed in the refractometer. The broken lines indicate the
optimum luminosity level.
This panel contains buttons to save the image in a file (Save to Disk) so that it can be viewed at a later time, to
retrieve the image from disk (Load from Disk), to print the image (Print) or to view the image of the calculated
derivative (Derivate).
Notes: when you display images using the "Load from Disk" option, real-time data acquisition will be interrupted
until the "Return" button is pressed again.
The procedures described above, relative to the CCD and the derivative images, can also be performed without
the serial connection with the URXX (Off-line status). The URXX Utility software can thus be utilized also on a PC
that is not directly connected to the URXX instrument, in order to view and print previously acquired CCD images.

9.8 PROGRAMMING LEVEL STRUCTURE

Programming of the UR-62 performed by means of the software utility, uses a 3-level structure to avoid modifying
important calibrations, either accidentally or by unauthorized persons.
Level “1” contains the typical functions that the operator can carry out normally, without creating problems in the
general function of the instrument. For example, these include the zero adjustment of the displayed value, setting the
alarm values and other functional parameters; the access is allowed if: in Level 3 the function PASSWORD is set
on YES and only once you have inserted the protection code (which, in the moment you receive the unit, is set to
"20"). In order to modify this code, please see the following chapter (level 3 programming).
If the function PASSWORD is set on NO the access to the level is free.
Level “2” contains other functions that can be set by a reasonably experienced instrument technician employed by
the plant but with access protected from accidental changes. These include defining the working parameters, the
serial and mA outputs, and the SPAN calibration.
Level “3” functions should be carried out only by a Maselli-trained technician or other highly qualified person. It can
be accessed only after entering the protection code. Level 3 operations affect the linearization, resetting and
alignment of the CCD; the temperature compensation coefficient, and access to all the high level customizing
functions.
For a clearer understanding of the menu functions, refer to the flowrate diagram in the "Enclosures" chapter at the
end of the manual.
IMPORTANT: In versions which have not been updated with the latest software and in the event of absence of
communication with the relative unit, some windows and functions may not be displayed and/or activated.

Example of relay set-up in “Alarm” operation

MEANING OF VARIABLES AND VALUES EDITING EXAMPLE:

1. The "LOW ALARM BRIX" button allows entering the value below which the measurement will be
considered to be in alarm status (minimum permissible concentration); this parameter can assume any
value included within the instrument's range.
2. The "HIGH ALARM BRIX" button serves to enter the value above which the measurement will be
considered to be in alarm status (maximum permissible concentration); this parameter can assume any
value included within the instrument's range.
3. The "TARGET BRIX" button serves to display and set the typical working value of the product. This
parameter can assume any value included within the instrument's range.
Enter the new value observing the limits shown in the "Modify Values" dialogue window.
Confirm by clicking "OK" to transmit the new value to the UR-62.
If the procedure has been carried out correctly, the panel will subsequently display the new modified value.
Otherwise an alarm message will be displayed.
4. The "OFFSET VALUE" button allows setting the offset value that will be added to or subtracted from the
measured value. This parameter has correction values between –10 and +10.
5. The "INTEGRATIONS" button allows you to set the number of measurement integrations so that the
instrument’s display will continue to give a stable reading even in the presence of fluctuations caused by
incomplete blending of the product.
When the value is changed between 1 and 100, the measurements are integrated in accordance with the
entered value in such a way as to display the average of the last XXX values.
Press the “Return” button to quit “Level 1” and return to the main menu.
6. The buttons in the “WASHING” group allow the user to set the parameters relative to system washing
operations.

9.10 LEVEL 1 FUNCTIONS

Each menu includes the “Exit” function, which allows the operator to return to the previous menu.
At the beginning of each paragraph, before the descriptions of the menu functions, a summary Table is given
showing the minimum and maximum limits and the default values of each function. (Attention: the values given
may be different from those actually programmed depending on the customized settings, if any); these have
certain warning features, such as:
 The function is only approximate; the values represented cannot be modified.

 The function can be changed by setting a new numeric value.
 The function can be changed by setting a new condition.

Modification of the function value directly influences the calculation of the concentration value; it is
 advisable to modify the data only if the operation is sure to have been carried out correctly and, in any
circumstance, by noting down the set value before making any modification.
Irregular conduction of the operation shown in the function can lead to severe operating faults in the

apparatus.
 Access to the function is reserved for special technicians or qualified personnel on indication by the
Maselli assistance service.
To enter the relative menu press the "Level 1" button in the main menu.
This programming level contains 3 sections:
 “Calibration 1” (user calibration)
 “Alarms/Washing” (setting of the alarm parameters or cleaning system)
 “Contacts” (input/output contact setting)
9.10.1 CALIBRATION 1 (User Calibration)

This submenu makes it possible to carry out calibration reserved for the user, in such a manner as align as
required the reading obtained with that measured in the laboratory, to set the number of measurement
integrations, and display the measured value and the relative measurement scale instantaneously.

This function displays the currently measured value.
Offset Value “OFFSET VALUE”
This function indicates and permits the setting of the “OFFSET” value, that will be added to or
subtracted from the measured value. To determine the proper correction, take a sample of product,
as near as possible to the Refractometric Analysis Unit UR-62, noting the UR-62’s displayed
measured value. With a temperature compensated optical refractometer, read the value of the
product sample, calculate the difference between the two measurements, and adjust the existing
offset by this new amount using this function.
This parameter has correction values from -30 to +30.
Integrations “MEASUREMENT INTEGRATIONS”
This function selects the “number of integrations” of the measurement, in order to stabilize the
reading of a signal that changes due to miscellaneous variations in the product’s concentration.
Selecting a value xxx from 1 to 100 will create a more stable value, which is the moving average
of the last xxx readings.

9.10.2 ALARMS (Alarms settings)

This submenu makes it possible to set the high and low alarm values and the typical operating value.
Warnings Function Function Description Limits/Options Default Value

9.10.3 WASHING (Washing Parameters)

This submenu allows to set the cleaning system (if present) operating parameters.
1) In case “washing = On” and “Smart washing = Off” is set, the washing works according to the standard
modes.
2) In case “washing = On” and “Smart washing =On” is set, the washing, further to the standard modes, can
start after the instrument, in measurement conditions, has found for at least 15 seconds (that can’t be set)
the value of the product’s derivative under the programmable limit “Derivative lim. = xxxxxx”.
At the end of the first washing started “in derivative mode”, if the value of the product’s derivative is still
below the limit, a second washing will start instantly.
a) The “derivative mode” washing consecutively allowed are equal to a maximum of 3; once this limit is
reached, the instrument stops ALL the washing modes.
b) The time values of the Washing Time (s), Measurements time (m), Hold Time and the operation mode of
the Washing Type relay, must be set according to the application requirements.

This parameter is indicated in seconds, and may have values from 1 s to 300 s.
Measure time
(m) “MEASURE TIME”
This function indicates and sets the measurement phase during the automatic washing cycle.
This parameter is indicated in minutes, and may have values from 1 and 3000 (50 hours).
Smart washing “SMART TYPE WASHING”
This function allows to activate (On) or disactivate (Off) the “derivative type” washing. Set the
desired mode with the “UP” and “DOWN” keys and press “ENTER” to confirm.
This option must be used to activate the washing cycle in untemporized mode. The cycle
automatically turns on when the value of the “derivative” decreases under the value set in the “Limit
Derivate” function (SETUP 2).

9.10.1 SMART WASHING CYCLE

The refractometer continuously measures the concentration value producing parameters and secondary variables
for the purpose of controlling the measurement in real time. One of these parameters is the derivative value which
indicates whether the concentration measurement is correct or not.
Using this value and comparing it with the so-called “Derivative Limit” value set by the user, it is possible to
manage start-up of the cleaning cycle for the refractometer’s optics, known as the “Smart Washing" cycle, in order
to maintain measurement accuracy.
The “Smart Washing” cycle is therefore activated when the derivative value for the current measurement drops
below the set limit value.
The parameters dedicated to the Smart Washing cycle and used in the cycle itself are:
Relay Function “RELAY USE CONFIGURATION”
Function of the relay dedicated to the cleaner which must be set to “WASH" to enable or
disenable execution of the “Smart Washing” cycle.
Washing “TIMED WASHING”
Enables (ON) execution of the “Smart Washing” cycle.
Smart Washing “SMART WASHING”
Enables (ON) execution of the “Smart Washing” cycle
Limit Deriv. “DERIVATIVE LIMIT”
Value set for comparing the calculated derivative value with the value measured by the
instrument for “Smart Washing” cycle start-up.
Hysterisis time “HYSTERISIS TIME SETTING”
Value, expressed in seconds, which elapses before the low value of the calculated derivative is
recognized. If the derivative value remains low for this time compared to the “Derivative Limit”
the cycle starts to run.
Max Wash “MAX NUMBER OF WASHES SETTING”
The number of repeats set for the “Smart Washing” cycle should the calculated derivative value
remain low even after a washing cycle.
If, after the number of washing cycles set in the “Max. Number of Washes” has been executed, the derivative
value is still below the set threshold a warning signal is activated. This condition is indicated by means of a
warning icon on the display of UR-20/24 type refractometers or by means of a relay contact for UR-6X type
refractometers.
In these conditions the refractometer continues to measure correctly but operator intervention is recommended to
better check the cleanliness of the instrument’s optics.
The “Smart Washing” is as follows:
1) Measured value hold.
2) Activation of the cleaner for a time expressed in seconds in the “Washing Time” function.
3) At the end of the set “Washing Time” the cleaner is stopped and the measurement is unlocked for around 20
seconds in order to check the calculated derivative value. The Smart Washing cycle may be repeated if the
derivative values is still below the set “Derivative Limit” value.
4) The “Smart Washing” cycle is repeated from point 1) for the maximum number of times set in the Max.

9.12.1 CCD ALIGNMENT (CCD alignment)

This submenu allows to check or carry out mechanical alignment of the CCD, by centring the CPU card and carry out
electronic alignment using a product with known refractive index.
Attention: CCD alignment must only be done after considerable operations carried out by specialist
personnel, after ensuring that there is no product, encrustation, dust or other residue on the measuring
prism which will falsify the reading, and that the entire optical route is perfectly clean, as the parameters set
act directly on the calculation of the concentration measurement.

This function continuously indicates the numerical value of the pixel corresponding to the position
of the shadow / light separation line on the CCD.
For an optimum adjustment it is necessary to place the prism on a piece of blotting paper soaked
with distilled water at a temperature of 20 °C, check that the shadow/light interface of the water
visible in the CCD image. Press the “Auto Zero Pixel” button and the indicated value will be reset
to zero.
For this calibration it is necessary for the working area to be as dark as possible, and that no
external light reaches the detecting circuit which can affect the alignment operation.
Auto Zero Pixel “ELECTRONIC PIXEL ALIGNMENT”
This function makes it possible to zero-set the "Pixel" value after having performed the alignment
adjustment illustrated above.
This value always assumes a negative sign since it is algebraically added to the pixel value read by

All Maselli instruments are assembled, carefully tested and calibrated by highly trained personnel, according to a
“Quality Standard” conforming to “ISO 9001-VISION 2000”, Certification and do not require any special
procedures for the start-up. If specific working characteristics of the instrument are required at the time of order,
they will be pre-programmed and tested at the factory and documented on the “Calibration Specification” sheet
supplied with the instrument.
Always verify the following before starting up the instrument:
* The electrical connections listed in Chapter 8 were made correctly.
* The power supply voltage is within the specified range:
AC 24V ±10%, 50...60Hz, 80mA or alternatively
DC 24V ±10%, 80mA
L/N/PE AC 85…264V 50…60Hz 24W with Interconnection box.
In any case check that the voltage corresponds to the one indicated on the identification label on the instrument or
on the interconnection box
* If the appliance is installed on a deflector of the DF15 series, check that the removable plug on the mounting
fitting is installed in the proper orientation. The plug reference arrow should be aligned with the reference
arrow on the mounting fitting body.
* The product flows continuously across the prism surface.
* The product velocity across the prism is sufficient to continuously keep the prism surface clean.
* The prism remains flooded with product or water at all times, even during a pause in production.
* The coupling screws and clamps are securely tightened.
* If the system is used to measure food products, perform sanitization as envisaged by the production line
procedures.
Referring to Chapter 9 Programming, also verify that:
* The “Relay Function” (9.11.2) and “Alarm Type” (9.8.1), as described in Level 2 mode is set properly as
desired.
* The “Alarm Settings”, as described in Level 1 (9.8.1 and 9.10.2) are correctly set.
* If using the prism wash timer described in Level 1 (9.10.3), define the wash time (Washing Time) and the

CALIBRATION Chapter 12
12. CALIBRATION
12.1 CALIBRATION
The Refractometric Analysis Unit UR-62 is rigorously calibrated and tested and normally does not require
additional calibration. Nevertheless, because of possible differences between the calibration solutions used and
the actual final products, or for different methods of analysis, a final zero adjustment by the user may be
necessary to match the instrument’s readings to those from the laboratory.
Depending on the importance of the measurement it is advisable to carry out periodic checks.
Calibration can be performed with the unit mounted directly on the line; circulate a product with a similar value to the
product to be analyzed through the piping, detect the concentration using laboratory analysis, calculate the difference
(if any) between the two measurements and adjust the OFFSET value on the instrument as described in Level 1
programming on the "Offset Val." function.
The Zero calibration adjustment shifts the entire measuring range of the instrument by the same amount. If a
proportional calibration adjustment is needed, introduce a new product sample with a known value close to the ending
range of the instrument and read the measured value on the display.
A difference between the known value and the measured value at the high end of the range, after the instrument has
been zero-calibrated at the low end of the range, indicates that a span calibration is needed. The span calibration is
described in Level 2, using the “Span Value.”
Note: In the majority of cases it is sufficient to make only the above Zero calibration to obtain the correct
calibration.

MANUTENZIONE Capitolo 13
13. MAINTENANCE
13.1 MAINTENANCE
The Refractometric Analysis Unit UR-62 does not normally require regular maintenance. However, periodically or if
the performance degrades, check the following:
 The “External Gaskets” and “O-Rings” and the brush on the cleaner (if installed) are in good condition.
 The "Measurement Prism” is clean.
 The unit coupling screws and clamps are securely tightened,
 If the deflector cap has been removed during specific configuration operations that it has been correctly
replaced with the reference arrows duly aligned,
 Use only a damp cloth to clean the exterior of the unit. Avoid using solvents or detergents that could
damage.
According to the measurement’s detection, it is advisable to periodically check the Zero (see charter 12-
Calibration).
We remind that such interventions must, however, be carried out by qualified personnel on switched off
equipments, disconnected from the power supply line, insulated from the production line (if not in other
way indicated), under safety conditions and areas, avoiding any potential dangerous situation for oneself
and others.
In particular it will be necessary to:
 avoid operating in unstable equilibrium conditions and however insecure;
 use suitable clothes and protection if the equipment’s temperature could be a potential danger;
 eventually use protection glasses and gloves, and nonslip rubber shoes.
 Avoid dispersion in the ambient of polluting, tossic or noxious substnaces.
For all what unspecified, follow the working safety standards/Rules in force in the Country of use.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE Chapter 15
15. TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE
15.1 TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE

The high level of quality reached during the various manufacturing phases and different calibration stages,
together with the rigorous quality control procedures the instruments are subjected to, make the Refractometric
Analysis Unit UR-62 a highly reliable and long-lasting instrument.
A statistical review of reports of unsatisfactory performance confirms that in most cases the problem was actually
caused by external problems. For example:
 Is the optical prism clean?
 Is there good product circulation through the refractometer's mounting fitting, and therefore across the
prism itself?
 Were the electrical and product piping connections made correctly, for the drawings?
 Have all configuration parameters been programmed properly?
If checking for the above common problems does not identify and resolve the problem, refer to the following
trouble-shooting table which describes possible problems, their probable causes and how to resolve them.

DATA ACQUISITION Chapter 18
18. DATA ACQUISITION
18.1 GENERALITÀ
The Refractometric Analysis Unit UR-62 can be interfaced with a data acquisition system trough the RS485 serial
port.
The communication with the l'UR-62 must occur by means of the “LABTECH”, o “PROFIBUS” or “MASELLI”
protocols which are implemented in the software.
The basic address characterizing each instrument is contained within a range of between 0 - 1FH (hexadecimal
values corresponding to 0-31) which can be selected in the relative “Serial Port” configuration submenu described at
level 2 of programming (9.11.24). For each instrument 7 pages of values have been reserved (5 analog and 2 digital).
This type of page set up for the data means up to 32 instruments can be connected at the same time and
interrogated via a single serial line, in standard RS485, by a single PC. Of course the addresses assigned to the
various refractometers must all be different from one another to guarantee univocal communication with each
instrument. Note: the Baud Rate value must be the same for each connected instrument.

18.4 MAS, MR01; USER PROTOCOL

The Refractometric Analysis Unit UR-62 is an equipment designed for the serial connection with a personal
computer, for the reception of the measured variables or for the setting and variation of the operating parameters
(alarm values, etc.).
The units must be seen by the PC as “Slave Units”, that means, as devices which answer to the commands
received from the PC and not vice versa.
The communication between the Personal Computer and the unit occurs by means of the “Maselli Protocol”
included in the pertaining software. The protocol, by means of some controls which are hereunder indicated,
supervises the “variables requirement” procedures and the variables/functions modification inside the Unit.
Following are indicated the description of the several commands available and included in the Maselli protocol.
For the complete list of the variables and of their formats, contact the Maselli Misure service Department. The
commands are exclusively composed by ASCII characters:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
V COMMAND - Variables/Functions Requirement

kk checksum (255 module sum of the ASCII values of all the string’s characters up to the checksum
excluded) from 00 to FF (MSB-LSB)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
M COMMAND - Function Modification
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
It allows to change one single variable/function in the unit’s Variables Table.
Note: it is necessary to remind that the M control for the modification of the variable/function acts only on the variables
that can be changed (see suffix assigned to each function in the “Variables Table” which must be ReadWrite).
>LLLLAAM;NNN<VARIABLEn>;kk<cr>
where:
9999
M function modification control
; variables separator
<VARIABLEn>
value of the umpteenth variable with free format but compulsory sign; in case the variable is an ASCII string, this
won’t have the sign, but it will be defined by the double tips (ASCII 34)
kk checksum (255 module sum of the ASCII values of all the string’s characters up to the checksum excluded) from
00 to FF (MSB-LSB)
To this request, the analytical unit will be able to answer, in case of problems found on the received string, with an
error message as explained in the succeeding “Error Message” section or, in case the command was positively
inspected, with the following string:

M<cr>
where:
M function modification command performed
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
R CONTROL - Multiple reception of the variables/Functions (Recipe)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It allows to change, at the same time, a certain number of variables/functions in the analytical unit’s Variables
Table.
Note: it is necessary to remind that the R control for the multiple modification of the variables/functions acts only on the
variables that can be changed (see suffix assigned to each function in the “Variables Table” which must be ReadWrite).
In case the variable/function cannot be changed, the command will be stopped with an error message answer “NO03”.
In the same way, the attempt to modify the variables/functions not included in the analytical unit’s Variables Table
isn’t allowed and it causes an error message answer (NO03).
>LLLLAAR;NNN<VARIABLE>;NNN<Variable>;NNN<VARIABLE;kk<cr>
where:
LLLL total length of the string (including the initial string character, the checksums and the <cr>); values from
0000 to 9999
R variables/function multiple reception command (recipe)
; variables separator
<VARIABLE>
value of the umpteenth variable with free format but compulsory sign; in case the variable is an ASCII string, this
won’t have the sign, but it will be defined by the double tips (ASCII 34)
kk checksum (255 module sum of the ASCII values of all the string’s characters up to the checksum
excluded) from 00 to FF (MSB-LSB)
In case of problems found on the string, the analytical unit will be able to answer to this requirement with an error
message as explained in the following “Error Message” section, or with the following string if the command was
positively inspected:
R<cr>
where:
R variables/functions modification command performed
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error Messages
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

List of error messages answering to incorrect commands or commands which can’t be performed from the
analytical unit.
NO02<cr>
Checksum error
NO03<cr>
Function not present or unchangeable (ReadOnly)
Other commands are defined in the communication protocol that, for preciseness, aren’t indicated in the present
document, such as the list of system’s variables. Please contact the Maselli technicians for a complete description
of all the implemented commands.
Since the above indicated commando are correctly interpreted and carried out by the analytical unit, it is
necessary that the PC connected to the serial channel, formulates the commands and sends them, respecting the
said above formats and that the control checksum is calculated correctly.
For such purpose hereunder is given the example for the checksum calculation on the “V” control.
Example of how the “V” variables request command is formulated to an analytical unit located at the address
“01”.
>001201V;F3cr
0012 it’s the length of the string, number of all the sent characters
01 it’s the address of the analytical unit
V it’s the type of command (variables request)
; it’s the separator character.
F3 it’s the checksum calculated on the string’s characters excluding cr
cr it’s the carriage return, hexadecimal 0D (13)
The checksum is calculated in the following way up to the separator character included:
ascii code hex value
> 3E
0 30
0 30
1 31
2 32
0 30
1 31
V 56
;
----------------------------
1F3 sum, the checksum is the low byte of the sum (module 256 sum)
It is therefore necessary to include, for the first, the ascii ‘F’ character (Most significant byte) then the ascii ‘3’
character (Least significant byte), ‘F’ hex in the example.
The string that has to be sent for the variables request to the analytical unit located at the 01 address is the
following:
3E 30 30 31 32 30 31 56 3B 46 33 0D

18.5 US#1 MODALITY
