1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a colour viewing box from PCE Instruments.
A colour viewing box is used wherever products must have the same colour properties during
production. Thus a colour viewing box contributes to quality control. The colour viewing box is a
simulation instrument which, by means of different types of light, is able to display certain
situations in order to analyse the colour characteristics of individual samples.
Metamerism can thus be avoided by using a colour viewing box. To support the measurement,
the colour viewing box has a built-in hour meter which makes it easier for the user to stick to the
recommended running time of the lamps. The user can select the appropriate type of light
independently by pressing a key. The control bar is located at the front side of the colour
viewing box. If desired, several types of light can be switched on at the same time in the colour
viewing box. This is done by pressing the respective keys simultaneously.

6 Structure
The colour viewing box is supplied in individual parts and must be assembled before first use.
The lighting part (cover) is nearly complete and the main part of the assembly is limited to the
construction of the body.
The assembly should be carried out at the intended installation site to avoid later transport. The
installation site should absolutely avoid incidence of extraneous light and the environment
should be as colour-neutral as possible in order to influence the perception of the observer as
little as possible.
Two people are needed for the assembly. Due to the sharp-edged outer packaging, we
recommend wearing protective gloves.
After unpacking the colour viewing box (Caution! The outer packaging may have protruding
nails), the colour viewing box must be checked for possible damage and for completeness.

1. Remove the base plate ➀and place it with the set-up side (feet / felt) on the table.
2. Screw the rear panel ➁onto the base plate. The MATT painted side is the inner side.
3. Now the side parts ➂must be screwed to the bottom wall ➀and the rear wall ➁. The
MATT painted side is the inner side.
4. Missing light sources must be screwed into the lighting segment.
(The power supply must not yet be established)
5. The lighting segment ➃must now be plugged onto the body. Make sure that the cover
clasps the edges of the body.
6. Now the power supply must be established with the supplied cold-device plug.
The connection is located on the rear side of the lighting segment.

8 Operation notes
- The observer should wear a neutral (achromatic) colour for the evaluation of the samples
to avoid reflections and other influences.
- The observer must be examined and selected by an appropriate method to ensure normal
colour vision and normal ability to distinguish colours.
- Press the on/off key to turn on the colour viewing box. The timer will then display the total
running time of the colour viewing box, regardless of the light type.
- If you have selected a light type via the control bar and pressed the key, it will be switched
on and the time counter will show the running time of the selected light type.
Depending on the light source, a certain warm-up time must be taken into account in
order to be able to make a reproducible assessment.
Since the light quality decreases with increasing operating hours, the light sources must
be replaced after a certain number of operating hours.
(see illuminant manufacturer's specifications)
- Place the objects to be viewed in the centre of the colour viewing box and also change the
position of the reference samples from time to time.
- A viewing angle of 45 degrees is ideal.
- When viewing is complete, press the on/off key again to turn off the unit.

10 Bulb replacement
- Before changing the lamp, disconnect the cold-device plug from the power supply.
- Wait until the lamps have cooled down before replacing them.
- The illuminants have a marking and must be re-inserted in the place provided for this
purpose.
- The illuminants must always be completely replacedfor the respective light sources in order
to ensure consistent quality based on the number of operating hours.
- After changing the bulbs, the respective hour meters must be reset.
To do this, select
the appropriate light type and press the clear button.
Lamps are not household waste and must be disposed of in
accordance with the applicable disposal guidelines.
11 Lamp breakage
Depending on the type of light, illuminants may contain small amounts of mercury and other
substances that are harmful to health. For this reason, if the lamp breaks, you must act
immediately and with the utmost caution:
1. Disconnect power supply.
2. Ventilate the room for about 15 minutes. During this time, switch off the heating,
ventilation and air conditioning system and leave the room.
3. Put on disposable gloves and, if necessary, safety gloves for the clean-up work and avoid
any unintentional contact with the fragments. (e. g. with clothes / shoes, etc.)
4. Leave the windows open during the clean-up work.
5. First, sweep the fragments together with the help of a carton / cardboard.
(Do not use a hand brush / broom, as this will whirl up the fragments into the ambient air with
the bristles and other fragments will get caught in the bristles)
6. Any remaining fragments must be removed with adhesive tape or moist disposable paper
towels.
7. The lamp residues as well as the auxiliary materials used for collection (e. g. cardboard /
paper / adhesive tape / gloves, etc.) must be safely sealed in airtight containers (e. g.
screwed glass, sealable plastic bags, etc.) and disposed of at the designated collection
points.

13 Disposal
For the disposal of batteries in the EU, the 2006/66/EC directive of the European Parliament
applies. Due to the contained pollutants, batteries must not be disposed of as household waste.
They must be given to collection points designed for that purpose.
In order to comply with the EU directive 2012/19/EU we take our devices back. We either re-use
them or give them to a recycling company which disposes of the devices in line with law.
For countries outside the EU, batteries and devices should be disposed of in accordance with
your local waste regulations.
If you have any questions, please contact PCE Instruments.
Lamps are not household waste and must be disposed of in
