User manual KONICA MINOLTA MAXXUM 400SI PART 1

[. . . ] (without batteries) and combined with it's ergonomic design, the CM-2600d is perfectly suited for any application in the laboratory in the field. Taking measurements horizontally or vertically is both easy and fatigue free. The compact size and accessible measurement aperture allows you to measure samples of any shape or size. 2 Comprehensive and informative color Data Information Display: The large Display is your "Information Centre". Displaying data graphically or numerically, it shows you the facts about your colors at a glance. [. . . ] And also Relativity Gloss Value can be displayed by using Numerical Gloss Control. The internal software contains all necessary colorimetric equations and standard light sources to cover your tasks as well as numerous industry and application specific indices. The internal software communicates in six languages (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Japanese) and thus is prepared for your international color communication network. It even reminds you when it is time for a factory re-calibration to ensure traceability to ISO-9000 recommendations. 6 Two measuring apertures to cover all sample sizes: The CM-2600d offers you great flexibility of use with two interchangeable measurement apertures with 8 mm (MAV) and ­ 3 mm (SAV). Changing the aperture mask is very easy and quick. The two lens position settings guarantee perfect data correlation with both apertures, ­ as you can expect from a leading-optical precision manufacturer. Pass / Fail Display Relativity Gloss Value Color graph + data Display Relativity Gloss Value These two apertures enable you to measure samples of all size and shapes and avoid taking time consuming average measurements on structured surfaces or faulty results on small samples. Relativity Gloss Value Simultaneous color difference with wording for SCI and SCE Relativity Gloss Value Spectral graph 3 You'll never be out of power With the CM-2600d, you have the free choice of three different power sources (batteries, rechargeable batteries or AC power), making your portable instrument ready for action at any time in any place. No need to wait for charging or being out of power at the wrong moment. 3 NORTH, EAST, SOUTH, WESTWARD HO!EXPANDING THE BOUNDARIES TO A GLOBAL COLOR DATA COMMUNICATION NETWORK. In today's global network, customers, manufacturers and numerous suppliers have to work hand in hand when it comes to Total Quality Assurance. Reliable and correlating color data are a real challenge for flawless color communication in the whole manufacturing process, from R&D to Production and Quality Assurance. KONICA MINOLTA, one of the global leading manufacturers of color measuring systems and pioneer in portable spectrophotometers offers you the most extensive and comCompany A plete range of instruments to meet this challenge. QA Network construction for color control either within an organisation or between organisations R &D R &D Company B Prod. Color control between companies QA Prod. The new CM-2600d, a highly interactive portable color measuring instrument, fits perfectly into KONICA MINOLTA's broad range of color measuring systems. Initially launched with the bench-top spectrophotometer CM-3600d, this innovative technology includes Numerical Gloss- Control (NGC) and, now available for the first time in a portable instrument, numerical UV-Control (NUVC). Together with the high energy xenon flash illumination and the high resolution monolithic dual beam monochromator, this technology is free from moving parts and therefore guarantees substantial advantages in ruggedness and reliability. World first: Numerical UV-Control The CM-2600d is the world's first portable instrument to offer the patented numerical UV-Control(NUVC). This innovative technology drastically reduces calibration and measurement procedure time when measuring products treated with optical brighteners such as Textiles, Papers and Detergents. Instead of using the mechanically driven filters of traditional methods, the NUVC technology uses two xenon flashes (one including UV and one excluding UV energy) and special mathematics. Within a few seconds you get both results, with and without UV as well as under different illumination conditions. UV-calibration procedure requires optional SpectraMagic NX sofware. TM Grating Dual Silicon photodiode array Unequalled: Numerical Gloss Control Another patented and therefore exclusive ­ feature is the Numerical Gloss Control (NGC), which, for each measurement, provides simultaneous data with specular component included (SCI) and excluded (SCE). Instead of mechanical moving parts, NGC sequentially fires two xenon flashes, for SCI and SCE. At any time, you can display both measuring results in the display of the CM-2600d. NGC technology has also anable the achievement of Relativity Gloss Value display. The advantages of NGC technology lies in its superior optical results as well as the absence of any moving parts making the CM-2600d rugged enough for portable applications. Light source without UV SCI light source with UV Light source for specular light On suitability in accordance with international Standards: The optical construction has great importance on subjects like absolute accuracy, data compatibility with other (type, brand) instruments. They depend on the way the supplier designs and manufactures all optical parts such as the geometry, light dividing devices, monochromator. On suitability for all kind of samples: Samples you have to control come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and forms, which the instrument should be able to measure in an easy and repeatable way. Furthermore, time-consuming sample preparation prior to measurement should be avoided by the instrument's ability to measures it as it is. Today's standard requirements for portable color control: Optical system strictly in accordance with international standards (ISO, CIE, DIN, ASTM, AFNOR, JIS) Performances meeting your application for today and the future (repeatability, long term stability, inter-instrument agreement) Full and comprehensive color data information Compact, light, left or right handed operation Suitable for any shape or size of sample;Simultaneous SCI / SCE measurements 10 Additional features only the CM-2600d can offer you: On Color data information: The way color data is output and presented is a vital factor in ensuring quick and easy routine quality control in production. [. . . ] A large easy to read display, fast assessment Pass/Fail indications, including understandable color descriptions in your language, as well as display of color and spectral graphs, makes the instrument understandable to all operators regardless of their color knowledge. On specular evaluation Depending on the surface condition of the sample and the angle of observation, the eye can perceive different levels of specular gloss (high gloss, semigloss or matte). To evaluate the influence of the gloss on the color data, the di:8°, de:8° geometry offers the ability to measure the sample including (SCI) or excluding (SCE) the specular component. Simultaneous assessment of SCI and SCE in one measurement offers great advantages in the speed and ease of use. · Perfect sample observation with viewfinder · Patented numerical Gloss control (NGC) · Patented numerical UV calibration (standard equipment) · Unique "Navigation wheel" for menu operation On inter-instrument agreement: Optimum performance is not a luxury, and you need to ensure you get reliable data throughout the instrument's lifetime. Many of your existing and future customers will undoubtedly have color measurement systems and will need to communicate with you about color data. [. . . ]
