(such as coffee), etc.
I. Component Structure
The structure of universal test components is shown in Figure 1.
①Base; ②Baffle; ③Square Integrator; (31) Measuring Port of the Square Integrator
④Cuvette; ⑤Cover Plate; ⑥Push Plate; ⑦Screw
Figure 1 The Structure of Universal Test Components
II. Usage
The usage of universal test components is shown in Figure 2.

2
i. Place &/50310 colorimeter according to Figure 2. The measuring port of &/50310 is
butted up against that of square integrator, as shown in Figure 3. Then, use ⑥push plate
to hold &/50310 colorimeter and tighten ⑦the screw. Check whether &/50310 colorimeter
is loose or not. If it is loose, please re-tighten the screw.
ii. Put the ④Cuvette into the ③Square Integrator. There are two matte surfaces in the
cuvette. Please only touch these two matte surfaces when hold the cuvette. In addition,
there are two transparent surfaces which engraved with “MAX”and “MIN”. Please put
one surface against the measuring port of the square integrator, as shown in Figure 3.
iii. Put ④the Cuvette into ③the Square Integrator. Cover the ⑤cover plate. There is
an arrow icon in the cover plate. Meanwhile, square integrator also has an arrow icon.
Please make sure the location of these two arrows is consistent.
After finishing the above steps, you can start the measurement.

III. Notes
i. Keep ③the square integrator clean. After finishing the measurement, please cover
the ⑤cover plate and keep the square integrator closed.
ii. Protect those two transparent surfaces of the cuvette from scratching and soiling.
iii. The amount of the object in cuvette must be between “MAX”and “MIN”.

Product Description
200 colorimeter is researched and developed in accordance with CIE (International
Commission on Illumination) and CNS (China National Standards). 200
colorimeter is a high precise colorimeter with simple user interface and stable
performance. It can be powered by both Li-ion battery and external DC power
supply.
White and black calibration is not required for 200 colorimeter which greatly simplifies
the measuring steps.
200 colorimeter adopts illumination locating which brings out more precise and quicker
locating.
200 adopts complex advanced algorithms which make measurement performance
more stable, more accurate and more compatible.
Cautions
● This colorimeter is a precise measuring instrument. Please avoid dramatic changes of
external environment when measuring. These changes, including the flicker of
surrounding light, the rapid change of temperature, will affect the measuring accuracy.
● Keep the instrument balanceable; make sure the measuring aperture cling to the test
sample, and no shaking or shifting when measuring. Please prevent the colorimeter
from fierce collision or crash.
● This instrument is not waterproof. Do not use it in high humidity environment or in water.
● Keep the colorimeter clean. Avoid dust, powder or solid particles entering the measuring
aperture and the instrument.
● Replace the white calibration cover and put the colorimeter into instrument cabinet when
not in use.
● Please take out the battery to prevent the colorimeter from damage if you don’t use it for
a long time.
● Please keep the colorimeter in a cool dry place.
● Any unauthorized changes to the colorimeter are not permitted, or it will affect the
measuring accuracy, even cause irreversible damage.

Figure 2 Interface Description
Interface Description
1. Power Switch: Press the button to turn on the colorimeter. Press the button
again. The button will pop up. Then the colorimeter is turned off.
2. DC Interface: Connect with AC adapter. It is used to connect to external power
source. The specification of external power source is 5V=2A.
3. USB Interface / RS-232 Interface: This interface is a common interface. The
instrument automatically judges the connection status. USB interface is used to
transfer data to PC. Its baud rate is 115200bps. RS-232 interface is used to
connect to the printer; its baud rate is 19200bps.
Note: When connecting to external power source, please press the power
switch to start the instrument.
III. Battery Description and Installation

4
Please use original Li-ion battery. Do not use other batteries, or it will cause irreversible
damage.
Please take out the battery to prevent the colorimeter from the damage of battery leakage
if you don’t use it for a long time.
When using external power source or connecting USB interface to PC, if you press the
power switch, it will charge the Li-ion battery. If you don’t want to charge the battery,
please take out the battery.
When charging the battery, dynamic battery icon will display on the top right corner of
“Standard Measurement” and “Sample Measurement” interfaces. In figure 3, the charging
icon displays in “Standard Measurement” interface; if no charging, the dynamic icon will
not appear.
