7. Power ON / OFF
Press the key to power on the meter. To
turn it off, just press this key again. This
meter is powered with Lithium Battery.
Use the battery adapter for charging.
8. Calibration
1.Press the “ANGLE key” to select the
vight measuring geometry
2.Lay the main unit into the holder with
calibration standard of high gloss black
tile. Take a reading by pressing the
“MEAS key.” Compare the measured value
with the value marked on the tile. If it
matches the value on the tile holder, the
instrument is within calibration and ready
for use. If the measured value does not
match the assigned value, just press the
“CAL key.”
It is necessary to inspect the condition of
the calibration tile and instrument optics
before each calibration. Any dust or debris
on the optic should be blown from the
lenses using
dry clean air, the optics must not be
touched. If there are any permanent marks
or scratches on the lenses, the instrument
is no longer suitable for measuring and
should be returned to an authorized
service center. The calibration tile must be
perfectly clean from smears and scratches
before attempting calibration. Fingerprints
and dust can be removed with the supplied
optic cleaning cloth.
9. Measurement
Remove the holder and lay the
Measurement Aperture just against the
position that you want to measure. Take a
measurement by pressing the “MEAS
key.” The reading on the Display Screen
within 2 seconds is the gloss value of that
position. Meanwhile the result is stored
into memory automatically.
When the instrument is placed on a
sample the aperture is hidden, the centre
of the measurement area can be
pinpointed by the intersection of the
arrows marked on the front of the
instrument case with those on the side.
10. Data Memorizing
When taking measurements, all values will
be stored automatically in memory and the
number of stored reading is accordingly
increased by
10.1 The gloss meter can store up to 254 g
roups of data with measurement conditions.
If the memory is full, the tester will auto save
the new reading and discard the oldest one.
That means the tester only hold the last 254
groups of data in memory.
11.
Memory Recall
Under the measuring mode marked by ‘M’
on the display , press the “RD key” to enter
into mode of viewing stored values marked
by “R”. Press “RD key” or “CAL key” to recall
stored values forwards and backwards. To
return to the measurement state, just press
any key otherthan “RD key” or “CAL key”.
12. Delete data in me mory
In the measurement state marked by “M” on
the display , the new reading can be deleted
by pressing “DEL key”, and the number of
stored reading is accordingly decreased by
1. To clear memory, just press and hold
“DEL key” for 3 seconds till the number of
