UNIQUE, RELIABLE AND
EASY TO USE CONCEPT
The CECF-9 is a very unique, compact and light instrument to instantly indentify and assign any mea-
sured colour to one of the 5.000 stored standard colour codes of colour fans such as RAL or any other
colour swatchbook. Together with the very easy operation and stand-alone function, the CECF-9
is the ideal tool to be used as „color identyer“ at Points of Sale in Do-it-Yourself and paint retail shops.
Operation is as simple as counting from 1 to 3: 1. Switch power on, 2. Calibration with attached white
tile, 3. Measure the sample and read the idented color code!
By using a sphere geometry (8:di) and 8mm measuring area, the CECF-9 can handle all sample sizes
and shapes with very high reliability. Battery operation allows full autonomy, idependent from PC and
thus, carry the instrument to the sample.
The optional „Data-Management-Software“ allows to manage the memory content of the CECF-9 for up
to 5.000 colour standards at any time. New colour standards can be added, others deleted and then the
new data-set can be simply copied to the EPROM of any other CECF-9 instruments.
