INSTALLATION
Taking Measurements
1. Choose an area on your sample to measure.
2. Close the targeting foot.
3. Tip the instrument back to allow the template to be aligned over the sample. Align
the ColorEye XTH Targeting template on the area chosen in step 1.
4. Make sure that the template is in contact with the sample. It should be touching the
sample to achieve the most optimum measurement.
5. Tip the instrument forward to allow the sphere to come in contact with the sample.
6. Press the Trial or Standard (Std) key to take the measurement.
Note:
The Std key is smaller and is located below the Trial key.
7. The instrument flashes and the measurement data appear on the display.
Understanding the Three Power Modes
You will notice that the until does not have a power on/off switch. There are three power
modes that are monitored by the instrument microprocessors to ensure optimum battery life.
Active Mode
The instrument enters this power mode when the display is on and responds to keystrokes.
Sleep Mode
The instrument enters this power mode when it has not been used during the programmed
sleep delay interval. It enters a low power mode to conserve battery energy. Any keystroke
"wakes up" the instrument and returns the instrument to the active mode. The unit should be
in sleep mode prior to removing the battery from the instrument. You can prompt the
instrument to go to sleep using the "Go to Sleep Option" in the Diagnostics Menu, described
on page 2-13. For more information about the Sleep Delay, refer to "Choosing Hardware
Settings" on page 2-10.
Shutdown Mode
The instrument enters this power mode when the battery energy drops to a level where
recharge is necessary. At this point, the keypad does not function. The battery can be
replaced (by a recharged battery) or the charger can be used to recharge the battery. In
either case, the instrument returns to the active mode.
Connecting the Instrument Cables
AC Power Supply/Battery Charger and Interim Cable Connection
The ColorEye XTH is supplied with an AC Power Supply/Battery Charger (referred to
throughout the manual as the "Charger"). Most of the time you will use your instrument with
the battery. However, you will need to connect the Charger for one of the following purposes:
•
To provide a power supply for instrument operation when a battery is not installed.
This involves using the Interim Cable.
•
To charge a battery installed in the instrument. This involves using the Interim
Cable.
•
To charge a battery not installed in the instrument. This involves direct connection
of the Battery Pack to the Charger without the Interim Cable.
For more information on charging your battery, refer to "Charging the Battery" on
page 1-5.
