Measuring Modes Press MODE and buttons simultaneously to switch between color measurement and color difference. Each has 3 modes: • Color Measurement: 1. Ev, x, y (Illuminance, Color coordinate) 2. Ev, u’, v’ (Illuminance, Color coordinate, CIE1960) 3. Ev, CT, uv (Illuminance, Color temperature) Press the MODE button to select your color management mode.

SET Function Color Difference: This function allows you to set certain reference values (Ev , u’ , v’ , CT (522)) to compare with the target color. Set the Reference Value You can select one of these color difference modes to set: u’, v’...
Page 16
Set the reference values in either of two methods: 5-2-1. Use the measured values and adjust it manually as the reference values. 5-2-2. Use previous values stored in memory and adjust manually as the reference values. The difference between method 5-2-1 and 5-2-2 is whether the Data Hold was enabled before entering the set mode.
Page 17
Using the Measured Values Select the (Ev, x, y) mode first and measure a light source. 1. Press the HOLD button to hold these values that you want to use as your reference values. 2. Press the button once to toggle the color difference mode.
Page 18
c. Select the (Ev, CT, uv) mode and repeat step 1~7 to set the CT reference values. (522) → → CT → → Color difference mode Please note that the Ev reference value in the three modes (Ev, x, y ,Ev, u’, v’ and Ev, CT, uv) remains the same.

Using the previous values stored in memory a. Select the color different ( Ev, x, y) mode directly. 1. Press the button and hold for 3 seconds to toggle reference values mode wihout Data Hold. 2. The SET symbol will appear and the Ev symbol will flash on the LCD.

c. Using the previous values to set the reference values of ( u’v’) mode.(522) Zero the Reference Values of Color Difference Close the sensor cover and the (Ev, x, y ,Ev, u’, v’ or EV, CT) measured values will show zero. Then repeat the section 5-2-1: using the measured values to zero the reference value.
MAINTENANCE Clean the Receptor Head: Blow off loose particles using clean compressed air. Gently brush remaining debris sway with a camel’s hair brush. Carefully wipe the surface with a cotton swab. The swab may be moistened with some water. Clean the Housing: When you clean the meter, wipe it with soap and water on a damp sponge or soft cloth.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT The meter is powered by a 9V battery. When appears, battery voltage has dropped below the level for reliable operation, and the battery should be replaced. Turn the meter off, open the battery cover on the back and replace the battery.
