1. How to install the Fraction Finder sensor and tape
While installing the sensor is an easy and quick task (~1-2 minutes), it is important to abide by best practices for optimal sensor installation
1. Apply the light-blocking to the glassware, leaving a gap between the tap
2. Install the sensor on the gap between the tape, with the thicker part of the sensor down
3. Finally, connect the sensor cable to the port in the back of the sensor, and connect the other end to the display’s port
You want to make sure that the tape surrounds each side of the sensor, without placing the tape directly underneath it and blocking the detector.
2. Different adapters and sight glasses
Here is a cheat sheet on our different adapters and sight glass.
