Assembly
Assembly
The illustrations included here show a series of
exploded views of the byko-spectra in various
stages of assembly. They should assist you in the
assembly of your unit.
Step 1
Locate the left side frame (A) and attach it to one
end of the viewing surface (C), as shown above,
using two (2) 8-32 x 1/2“ machine screws. Next,
attach the right side frame (B) to the opposite end
of the viewing surface in the same manner.
Step 2
Attach the rear panel (D) to the left and right side
frames and to the viewing surface using five (5),
screw and washer assemblies. Locate five (5)
gray decorative caps and snap them onto the
screw and washer assemblies (in rear of booth) to
conceal the screw heads.

Step 3
Screw the four (4) 5/16“ x 1“ leveling feet into the
bottom of the side frames as shown above.
Step 4
Attach the luminaire to the upper framework by
aligning the slots on the sides of the luminaire with
the mounting studs in the upper portion or the
side frames and gently dropping the fixture into
place. The luminaire is correctly positioned when
the switchboard is located towards the front of the
unit (as shown to right).
Step 5
To attach the side walls, first, partially loosen
the screws holding the rear panels and viewing
surface in place. Insert each panel (making sure
that the folded channels are facing out and
forward) by sliding them between the side frames
and the viewing surface, at the bottom; the side
frames and the luminaire, at the top; and the side
frames and the rear panels, at the rear. When
installed correctly, the „V“ notches in the side
panels will line up with the screws holding the rear
panels in place. Retighten the screws holding the
rear panels and viewing surface in place.
Note: There may be reasons to use the light booth
without side walls, such as viewing objects wider
than the booth.

Connecting the byko-spectra to a Power Supply
Connecting the byko-spectra to a Power Supply
Before connecting the line cord to a power supply
outlet, check the electrical rating on the byko-
spectra product identification plate, to ascertain
that your byko-spectra has the same electrical
power rating as the source of supply.
Switch Board Operating Controls
A Sequence Button (Yellow)
B Ultraviolet Source (UV) On-Off Button
C Store Light (TL84) Source Button
D Daylight (D65) Source Button
E Home Light (Incandescent Illuminant A) Source
Button
F Store Light (Cool White Fluorescent) Source
Button
G Power Off Button (illuminated when unit is
plugged in) (Red)
H ColorGuard II®Lamp Timing Center
Operating the Switch Board
When the unit is plugged into a power source,
the red OFF button (G) is illuminated. To select
a light source simply press the desired button.
When a source is selected the appropriate green
button will illuminate to verify your selection.
Pressing a different source button will turn on the
selected source and turn off the original source.

English

English
Connecting the byko-spectra to a Power Supply
Turn off all sources using OFF (G) button. UV (B)
is independently controlled and can be used with
another source or by itself. If the Home Light (E) is
selected and not switched for 15-20 minutes then
the unit will turn all lamps off (this is a lamp and
energy saving feature).
Programming a Sequence
Press and hold the yellow SEQ (A) button. While
holding the SEQ button, press the buttons for the
sources you wish to turn on in the order you want
them activated (up to 10). After selecting your light
sources, while still holding the SEQ button, press
the OFF (G) button for the length of time you want
each source to be on (note: all sources will be
turned on for the same time period - if you want an
individual light source to be on 2 or 3 times longer,
simply press its button two or three times while
programming the sequence. The sequencing “On”
period has been programmed to not allow “On”
times to be less than 5 seconds). After releasing
the OFF button, you can release the SEQ button.
To use the automatic sequence simply press the
illuminated yellow SEQ button. The sequence will
remain in memory until a new program is entered,
or, if you press the SEQ button and hold while
pressing the OFF button, this will also clear the
sequence. You can use the selection buttons to
use the unit normally even though a sequence is
stored.
Detecting “Metamerism”
When two color samples match under one light
source, but not under one or more other light
sources, the “color-match” is metameric. This
means that the colorant formulation in one sample
differs from the formulation in the other, resulting
in differing spectral reflectance factor curve
shapes. A metameric color match can also be
referred to as a “conditional” color match, since

English

English
Connecting the byko-spectra to a Power Supply
the quality of the color match is conditional to the
type of light source under which it is viewed.
While it may not be possible, with the colorants
available, to completely eliminate metamerism, the
byko-spectra provides colorists with the means
of visually “indexing” the degrees of metamerism
under three spectrally dissimilar light sources. The
formulation may then be adjusted to provide the
“best match” under a specified lighting condition,
or the least metameric match under all three
lighting conditions.
For obtaining the best correlation with instrumental
measurements, calculated color differences and
metameric indices, the spectral power distribution
of the sources in the booth should be used in the
computations.

Maintenance of the byko-spectra
Maintenance of the byko-spectra
NOTE: Disconnect the power cord before
cleaning or relamping the byko-spectra!
Cleaning
The viewing area of the byko-spectra should be
kept clean and free of samples, notices, etc. To
clean the neutral gray surface, use a soft, damp
cloth with a mild soap or detergent. For stubborn
marks or stains, use a non-abrasive “soft-scrub”
type of cleaner. DO NOT use organic solvents on
the surface.
When to Relamp the byko-spectra
In order to maintain proper color quality and light
intensity, the lamps should be replaced when the
time expires for each individual lamp. Each lamp’s
use is tracked by the Colorguard which does all
the timing and warns you of the lamps need for
replacement. D65, CWF, and TL84 sources are to
be replaced at 2500 hours, Inc is to be replaced
at 1750 hours and U.V. is to be replaced at 500
hours. To order replacement lamps for your
viewing system, refer to the product label on the
rear of the unit (located near power cord) for a
relamp kit code.
Relamping Procedure
Rotate the lamps one-quarter turn and remove
them from their lampholders. Clean the reflector
surfaces and install the new lamps, rotating them
one-quarter turn to lock them in place. After
relamping, and when the unit is turned on, select
the “relamped” source and depress and hold the
reset switch located beneath the hole next to the
switch board (as shown by arrow) until the unit
beeps three (3) times. This is best accomplished
with the use of a straightened paper clip. The timer
is now reset back to “0”. Repeat operation for
each “relamped” source.

Maintenance of the byko-spectra
Fluorescent Lamp „Flicker“ Note
Your fluorescent lamps may flicker or „spiral“
when new. This is a common characteristic of new
fluorescent lamps and does not indicate that the
lamps are defective. Normally, flickering gradually
diminishes then disappears after approximately 50
hours of operation.
Extended, or chronic flickering can also be a
result of the light booth being connected to an
ungrounded outlet or to a „noisy“ electrical circuit,
e.g. a circuit with a photocopier or other device
with high power requirements connected to it. To
eliminate these causes of flicker, make certain
that your light booth is connected or wired to a
properly grounded outlet or reconnect the light
booth to another circuit which is known not to
have high-powered devices on it.
Fluorescent Lamp End Blackening
Ignition filament deposit during operation can
cause lamp blackening at the ends. This is a
normal condition and will not affect the light
quality or operational performance of your viewing
system.
Disposal
All fluorescent lamps contain small amounts
of mercury. Please dispose of lamps properly
according to Federal, State, and Local regulations.
