CP320 Colorimeter Operations
Connecting, charging, and turning on the CP320
The first time that you use the CP320, you must charge the battery. Charge the battery for at
least 30 minutes. When fully charged (approximately four hours), the batteries allow more than
8,000 measurements and the LCD display shows C=100%. When the batteries are nearly
discharged, the display shows LOW BATTERY. After charging for approximately 10 minutes,
you can use the instrument again.
CAUTION: If you do not use the colorimeter often, fully charge it at least once a
month. Failure to maintain a charge can damage the battery, which may result in
erratic operation.
Leave the charging pad plugged in and the colorimeter on the pad so that it is always ready for
use. If you take the colorimeter off the pad, it will automatically shut off after about five
minutes if you do not use it. Push the green start button to turn it on. If you have previously
taken measurements, the last sample and match are displayed in the LCD window.
To connect, charge, and turn on the CP320
1
Connect the pin-plug end of the data cable to the colorimeter.
2
Connect the other end of the cable to a COM port on your computer.
3
Verify that the serial number of the charging pad (located on a label on the back) is the
same as the serial number of the colorimeter (located on a label on the bottom of the
instrument).
4
Install the correct power plug (U.S., English, or European) in the power pack connector
receptacle.
5
Plug the power pack into a power source that has the same voltage shown on the
identification plate of the power pack.
6
Put the instrument on the charging pad, seating the pins in the pad in the connector
holes in the bottom of the instrument.
7
After observing the charging guidelines above, the colorimeter is now ready for
calibration and use. To turn on the CP320, press the green start button.
