Strip measurement
To measure a strip of patches on a patch page, you measure one pass or two passes of each strip depending on the
measurement type that you want.
Measurement mode Measurement type
M0 One pass, UV included
M1 One pass, D50, UV included
M2 One pass, UV cut
Use the backup board with the ruler to guide the ES-3000 along the strip. If you selected the
Use Ruler
option in the
ES-3000 instrument settings, the positioning sensor on the underside of the ES-3000 reads the stripes on the ruler to
determine the position of the ES-3000. The
Use Ruler
option is always selected when you measure with two passes.

Open the backup board and place the patch page on it with the strips parallel to the hinge. Use the clamp to
secure the page.

Place the ruler on the page, lining up the plastic edge with the edge of the strip that you want to measure
3
Place the ES-3000 on the ruler, fitting the slots on the underside of the ES-3000 into the pins on the slider. When
the ES-3000 is seated correctly, the aperture is positioned over the strip to be measured, just beyond the plastic
edge of the ruler.

the strip.
If the light on the ES-3000 flashes green, the strip measurement is successful.
If the light on the ES-3000 is blue, the first pass of a two-pass measurement is successful, and the ES-3000 is ready
for the second pass of the same strip.
If the light on the ES-3000 flashes red and an error message is displayed, you must measure the same strip again.
Maintenance and cleaning
Clean the plastic housing of the ES-3000 with a damp cloth. Clean the white reference ceramic tile on the calibration
