<Configuration Diagram> ■ Characteristics The new C-130 model is smaller and more compact than our previous C-100 model. Furthermore, using blue LED light sources allow for a longer light source lifetime reduced power consumption and reduced heat generation. In addition, the required sample size has been greatly reduced.
2. Specifications Measurement method : Reflectivity measurement Accepted samples : Various types of powder (Starch, Wheat flour, Tapioca flour, Cement etc.) *(starch is the base calibration curve, but the user can set their own calibrations) Measured item : Whiteness (Different from JIS definition) It is diffierent from "Haku Shoku Do"...
4. Description of Operation Keys <Operation panel> Function Select calibration curve and input numerical value (0). 〜 Used to input numerical values. Turn printer on/off. When changing numerical values, use this key as the backspace key. Switch between measurement mode and standard plate check mode. Measurement mode Use for normal sample measurements and when creating a user calibration curve.
5. Preparing for Measurement 5-1. Connecting the power cord [Caution] Power supply voltage may be different when using this product in other countries. Please only use a power cord designed for your country. Insert the power cord into the power supply connector on the rear of the main unit.
6. Measurement [Caution] Before performing any measurements, use the glass wiper to clean the glass filter of the main unit (refer to 8.1). 6-1. How to pack the sample (see the separate ‘Simple Guide to Sampling’) [Note] The following is the standard measurement method for starch. Different packing methods will apply to samples with larger diameters, viscosity, moisture, runny sample, etc.

If the reading is outside of the measurement range, UNDER or OVER will be displayed. ■ Selecting the Calibration Curve The C-130 can have up to ten calibration curves. [01] is for the base calibration curve, and [02-10] provide for nine additional customer calibrations that can be stored and later retrieved.

■ Average Value This device c an display the average value for 2- 9 measurements. After measuring 2-9 times, press the key and the average value, in addition to the number of measurements, will display. Displaying the average value deletes all previous values and makes the next measurement the first measurement of the next set.
In such cases, it is possible to calculate the reading by creating a user calibration curve. [Note] You can register up to 9 user calibrations from [02] to [10]. C-130 (Base Calibration Curve [01]) 7-2. Creating a calibration curve <Table 1> Sample preparation ◆ Calibration Curve (CC) Number: 03 Prepare 5 samples of various whiteness levels.

(1~3), and then after pressing the next 2 whiteness values are displayed (4~5). [Note] The values shown in the [C-130] column are the measurements in the base calibration curve [01]. The values shown in the [USER] column are the values input by the user. Before calibration, both the [C-130] and [USER] values are the same.

→ . Press to confirm Sample (1). The display will change from [USER] to [C-130], and the upper right number will change from [#1] to [#2]. Repeat [Procedure 1] and [Procedure 2] to input Samples (2) to (5). Once you have input Sample (5), press complete the calibration curve input operation.
(3) Clean the glass filter. Clean the drawer rails with cleaning brush (C-130-07). There is a ridge around a section of the glass filter on the bottom of the main unit. Be very careful not to damage the ridge.
