Atago CM-BASEα In-line Brix Monitor – RS-232C + 4-20mA Output Refractometer

Atago CM-BASEα is an in-line refractometer engineered for production processes requiring continuous Brix monitoring. A single cable provides both 4-20mA analog signal integration with PLC/SCADA systems and RS-232C digital data transmission, enabling seamless automation connectivity while maintaining detailed data logging capabilities.

The instrument delivers measurements across 0.0-53.0% Brix with ±0.5% accuracy and 0.1% resolution. Integrated temperature compensation ensures consistent measurement performance across variable process temperatures. The offset function allows calibration adjustment to actual sample concentration values, enabling adaptation to diverse product types and line conditions.

For food, beverage, and sugar manufacturing applications where concentration control is critical, CM-BASEα provides real-time on-line monitoring without sample transport to the laboratory. Engineered for straightforward installation and minimal maintenance requirements, supporting continuous operation.
