An entry level yet ergonomic and flexible reflectance spectrophotometer with customised apertures of 8mm/4mm/1 x 3mm. Touch screen technology with intuitive icons to enable user-specific settings and guide through the measurement process. An on-board camera-based locator and black and white calibration plates ensure accurate measurements and results every time. Multi language support for international use.
Suitable for Use Over Prolonged Periods
The TR 500 has been designed with ergonomic features making it easy to handle during prolonged use.
Latest Technology Facilitates Use
Measurements are further facilitated with touch screen technology and the intuitive on-board icon-based software which guides you to customize your instrument including, but not limited to: select your language option (English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese or Chinese); chose between right handed or left handed operation; switch light source and color space. The on-screen interface also guides you through the process of sample measurement and data management.
Enhanced Flexibility
Flexibility is also enhanced with the instrument’s choice of customized aperture (8mm/4mm/1 x 3mm) and accessories for most applications including powders, liquids, gels, pastes, granules and solid materials.
Repeatable, Stable Results
To ensure you can easily see what you are measuring for repeatable, stable results, the TR 500 incorporates an on-board camera-based locator.
View Results On-Screen or On PC
As standard, the TR 500 is supplied with a free copy of OnShade software to view the results on a PC (via USB cable) and develop graphs, statistical process control, shade searching and all available Color, Space, Color Differences and Indices which can be shared or printed (via the optional micro printer accessory).
Guaranteed Calibration
White and black calibration tiles are, naturally, included with the instrument. It is recommended to re-calibrate every 24 hours minimum.
Suitable for Multiple Applications
The TR 500 reports CIE Lab, XYZ, Yxy, LCh, CIE LUV, Hunter Lab color spaces, ∆E*L*a*b*, ∆E*C*h°, ∆E*uv, ∆E*94, ∆E*cmc(2:1), ∆E*cmc(1:1), ∆E*00, ∆E Hunter Color Difference Formulars; and can be set to D65, A, C, D50, D55, D75, F2, F7 & F11 illuminants. In addition, the TR 500 can report a wide selection of other Colorimetric Index’s: WI (ASTM E313, CIE/ISO, AATCC, Hunter), YI (ASTM D1925, ASTM 313), TI (ASTM, E313, CIE/ISO), Metamerism Index (MI), Color stain, Color Fastness, Color Strength and Opacity. This data is displayed as Spectral Value/ Graph, Colorimetric Value, Color Difference Value/ Graph, PASS/FAIL Result, Color Offset or Samples Chromaticity values.
