Notice: Use of this equipment in a manner not specified by the manufacturer may
impair the protection afforded by the equipment.
The ColorFlex system consists of a ColorFlex optical sensor and an IBM-compatible computer
composed of the system unit, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. The computer may have been user-
provided or purchased with the sensor and software. A printer may also be used with the system.
The ColorFlex Sensor
The ColorFlex spectrocolorimeter is a versatile, compact color measurement instrument that can be used
on products of virtually any size and in industries as diverse as paint and textiles. It is available in two
different models, 45°/0° and diffuse/8° (sphere). The label on the bottom of the instrument identifies the
geometry. The instrument is designed for use with the sample port facing up or forward.
The Read Button
The Read (lightning bolt) button on the keypad, also known as the “Sensor button,” can be used to
perform any command or macro assigned to it through the Toolbar command on the Configure menu.
By default, this button activates a sample measurement. To assign it another function, see the Toolbar
section in the Configure chapter, Chapter 9.
