The Elcometer 6014 contains a light source, a light detector and a system of lenses. A converging beam of
light illuminates the specimen at a set angle of incidence. The light detector is set at the same angle of
incidence and measures a small aperture area of light reflected from the specimen. Shade and opacity
readings are calculated by the gauge and displayed as a percentage.
The gauge is calibrated using certified calibration tiles (one black, one white).
The Elcometer 6014 is supported by Novo-Soft™ software. A data cable connects the gauge to a PC via a
USB port.
