Separating the Receptor Head from the Body
For certain applications you may wish to separate the receptor head and connect it to the
body by cable. Two optional adapters—one for the head, and one for the body—make this
possible.
Required Options
●
Adapter Unit for Main Body T-A20
●
Adapter Unit for Receptor Head T-A21 (with cable)
If you need greater separation
●
If the cable included with the T-A21 adapter is not long enough, you can use 10Base-T
network cable (Category 5 straight cable, available at computer supply stores) to make or
extend the connection. Maximum allowable separation is 100 meters (328 ft).
Setting Up
●
Note that if the connection cable is in proximity to devices that generate electrical noise,
the noise may adversely affect measurement results and instrument functions. Keep the
cable away from sources of electrical noise when carrying out measurements.
1. Set the power switch to OFF (“ ”).
Hold down the receptor-head release button, and pull the head off
of the body.
2. Attach the T-A20 to the body.
3. Attach the T-A21 to the head.
4. Connect the cable to the two adapters.
5. Set the power switch to ON (“|”), and set the HOLD button into
RUN position.

The CHROMA METER begins taking measurements.

Note that the cable connection approximately doubles the CHROMA METER’s consumed
current.
