Preparations Before Power On
a) Check whether there is battery powered or external power supply.

White Calibration and Black Calibration
Note: White and black calibration is not required for 200 colorimeter.
Only when the measured data are not accurate enough, manual calibration
is needed.
After turning on 200
colorimeter, press “Menu” to enter the main menu, as
shown in Figure 5. Select “Calibrate” to enter White and Black Calibration
interface, as shown in Figure 6.
Be sure the white calibration cover is well installed. Selecting “White Calibration”
and press “Enter” button, the instrument will prompt you to place the white
calibration plate. Then press “Enter” or “Testing” key to start white calibration.
Be sure the white calibration cover is removed. Select “Black Calibration” and
press “Enter”. The instrument will prompt you to direct the measuring aperture to
the air. Press “Enter” again or press “Testing” key to start black calibration.
Note:
When starting black calibration, direct the measuring port to the air.
Be sure the black calibration is performing in a dark, no bright light source
environment. Keep the measuring port more than 3m away from any
reflective items (hands, desks, walls etc.).
By then, manual white calibration and black calibration are completed.
