Spot Measurement
Make sure your device is calibrated and the status indicator is pulsating white before measuring. You
should refer to the documentation for the software program that you are using with your instrument. All
applications that use the instrument must be running during measurements.
Sample Criteria
The instrument measures color data from just about any clean, dry surface that is reasonably flat and
smooth. The limiting aperture should be able to rest flat and steady on the sample area. Generally,
surfaces with bulky, rough, or loose-weave textures will not provide good results.
NOTE: Never measure wet paint. Wet paint will contaminate the instrument.
Measurement Techniques
The following information is provided to familiarize you with “mechanical” aspects of taking a
measurement.
1. Clear the color sample surface of any dirt, dust, or moisture.
2.
If possible, place the entire instrument on the sample to be measured.
3. While holding the instrument still, momentarily press the measurement button on the device. Any
movement will affect the measurement accuracy.
Status indicator light switches off during a measurement and pulsates green once the
measurement has been successfully finished.
