User manual KONICA CM-508C

[. . . ] Unlike conventional spectrophotometers, correlation of the measurement results with visual evaluation of such subjects can be achieved. The ring-shaped illumination ensures stable measurement without being affected by the orientation (rotational deviation) of the instrument. [. . . ] Measurement is stable even for curved surfaces, such as automotive components. Not only flat surfaces but also curved surfaces can be measured stably with the large measurement area, the two extension feet and the optional grip attached to the instrument. Grip CM-A42 (optional) The graph display function enables easy color judgment even on production sites without using a personal computer. Tolerance (allowable range) can be set for each target data. L*C*H*E00 display example L* Vertical full-scale value ± 0 line Color difference tolerance setting example: E00=0. 5 C* H* E00 25º 45º 75º Line graph display Color difference display PASS/FAIL display Original development Evaluation equation suitable for measurements of metallic/pearl coating correlates well with visual evaluation. With the conventional E*ab equation, the values in the highlight direction (25º) become larger and do not correlated well with the results of visual evaluation. With the CM-512m3, the E00 (CIEDE2000) equation is used with parameters fine-tuned based on proprietary knowhow to provide measurement data for metallic/pearl coatings which correlate well with visual evaluation. Measurement button Extension feet Multi-angle method (Ring illumination from three angles / Light reception in one direction) Illumination: 25º, 45º, 75º Light reception: 0º The measurement sample is illuminated from three angles and the reflection in one direction is received. Metallic/pearl colors may result in great differences in color appearance depending on the observation angle. Like visual evaluation, the multi-angle method obtains measured data by applying illumination from three different angles. 400 measurements at 10-second intervals (when a dark color is measured with alkaline batteries at 23ºC) ø12 mm /ø20 mm System Configuration Spectrophotometer CM-512m3 Four AA-size batteries Worldwide (except Europe): AC adapter AC-A21 Europe only: AC adapter AC-A12 (Not evaluated by UL. ) Grip CM-A42 Accessory Switch CM-A23 Spectral reflectance: Within 0. 3% (standard deviation) Chromaticity value: Within E*ab 0. 05 (standard deviation) (When a white calibration plate is measured 30 times at 11-second intervals after white calibration) ; When AC adapter is used Interface RS-232C Terminal: D-Sub 9-pin (female)/IrDA Display Dot-matrix reflective LCD with 21 characters x 7 lines (128 x 56 dots) With contrast control slide Displayed data Colorimetric data: L*a*b*, L*C*h Color difference data: (L*a*b*), (L*C*H*), E*ab, CMC(l:c), E00(CIEDE2000) Other data display: FF value, line graph, temperature Storable data sets 440 data sets max.
