RGB:
Press
the “OP”-button (4-16 or 4-3, Fig. 1) once, so that the display indicates “Mesu” (for
measurement), and after several seconds R, G, B
– values. Now you can lift the sensor head from
the sample surface. If you wish to perform a new measurement, proceed the same way.
HSL:
If you wish to determine the H, S, L values (hue, saturation, lightness), press the
“RGB / HSL”-
button (4-7. Fig. 1) once, so that the display indicates the H-, S-, L- values. Press the
“RGB / HSL”-
button again to return to the R, G, B
– values again.
Compared to the RGB- values, the HSL values can emphathise the perception of the human eye
much better.
Note:
If you measure materials, that are not self-luminous, press the
“OP”- button (4-16 or 4-3, Fig.1) once.
If the sensor head (4-15, Fig. 1) does not emanate a white light, proceed as following:
a. Start colour meter, and do not press the
“OP” button.
b. Press the
“LIGHT ON / OFF” button (4-8, Fig. 1) once. Now press the “OP” button. The
sensor head will then emanate white light.
If you press the
“OP” button and the device does emanate white light, the device is ready for
application on surfaces that are not self-luminous.
If you press the
“OP”- button and the sensor head does not emanate white light, the device is ready
for application on self-luminous surfaces.

Measurement on self-luminous samples
Self-luminous materials are e.g. LCD monitors, LED
’s, …
Consider for this measurement mode, that there might appear larger statistical spreads for the
absolute measurement values. Thus this type of measurement should be mainly applied for relative
comparisons (before and after / new to old). First make sure that the sensor head does not emanate
any light.
Note:
If you measure materials that are self-luminous, press the
“OP”-button (4-16 or 4-3, Fig 1) once, and
the sensor head (4-15, Fig. 1) emanates white light, proceed as following:
a. Turn on colour meter, do not press the
“OP”-button.
b. Press the
“LIGHT ON / OFF” button (4-8, Fig. 1) once. Now press the “OP” button. The
sensor head will then stop emanating white light.
If you press the
“OP”- button and the sensor head does not emanate white light, the colour meter is
ready for application on self-luminous surfaces.
RGB
:
Press the
“OP”- button (4-16 or 4-3, Fig. 1) once, so that the display indicates “Mesu” (for
measurement). After several seconds it will indicate the R, G, B values. Now you can remove the
sensor head from the material surface. If you want to perform a new measurement, proceed the
same.
HSL:
If you want to determine the H, S, L
– values (hue, saturation, lightness), press the “RGB / HSL”-
button once, so that the display indicates the H-, S-, L- values. Press the
“RGB / HSL”- button again
to return to the R, G, B
– values again.
