Thank you for purchasing a PCE-CSM series colorimeter from PCE Instruments.
The colorimeters PCE-CSM 1, PCE-CSM 2 and PCE-CSM4 are the ideal measuring devices for quality
control and offer great reliability when you need to comply with certain optical requirements. The
colorimeters have an ergonomic design and are equipped with a user-friendly operator interface. The
difference between the 3 devices is the size of their measuring apertures.
