Have anyone tried covering from light when measuring to improve sensitivity or reading stability?

This product is measured by light refraction, so be careful not to contaminate or damage the prism in the product. - In addition, measuring in a leveled position increases reading stability. - In order to increase sensitivity and reading safety, and to reduce product stability and defect rate, a full inspection is conducted by professionals after making it in the manufacturing plant. - It also provides the inspector's personal information and product quality assurance.

i purchase this product to use with honey, after i set in zero y load the honey on the chamber and it mark HHH is this ok? how should i use?

The Pal-1 will only measure up to 53% on the brix scale. The sugar content may be too high for the machine. For measuring honey, I would recommend the PAL-22S or the PAL-2 instead.
