USER MANUAL CM-600D MINOLTA

New Generation Spectrophotometers with

Wireless Communication and Colour LCD Screen

Compact and lightweight spectrophotometer offering new technologies for perfect handling!

Objective Quality Control of colour by instrumental assessment has proven to be reliable and affordable technology for any products where colour is an important quality criterion, as in the Paints & Coatings-, Plastics-, Automotive-, HomeAppliance-, Ceramics-, Textiles- and many other Industries. In addition, the increasingly global relationship between raw material suppliers, component manufactures, assemblers and buyers make precise colour data communication essential in a world which is ever more colourful.

The new generation of portable spectrophotometers from Konica Minolta offers unprecedented ease of use and perfect handling by utilising new technologies, enhanced ergonomics and applying Konica Minolta's known advanced optical design and signal processing technology. The CM-700d and CM-600d models will change the way portable spectrophotometers are perceived and applied in Research & Development and QualityControl by improving usability and convenience.

Experience

impressive colour measurement!

Measure anything anywhere.

With the CM-700d and CM-600d you can measure any sample anywhere! The ergonomic vertical alignment is perfectly suited to position and measure round or even concave shaped parts and samples with single hand operation. Weighing only 550g , the CM-700d and CM-600d are the most lightweight instruments in their class and thus allow excellent portability for on-site measurement. The measuring aperture is selectable between 8mm and 3mm to measure even small sample sizes (CM-700d only).

Communicate wireless.

The CM-700d and CM-600d are the world's first portable colour measuring instruments enabling wireless data communications with an external PC or a Printer using Bluetooth® class 1 technology. This brings a new dimension of freedom of operation to portable colour measurement in production eliminating the usual cable tangle associated with conventional instruments. Bluetooth® data communications with the new models can work at distances up to 100m including bidirectional communications displaying PASS/FAIL message or colorimetric data. In stationary mode, the instruments also offer communications via a USB port.

See colours in colour.

The CM-700d and CM-600d are the world's first portable colour measuring instruments with a colour LCD screen to improve colour data reading & perception. The 2.36-inch bright TFT display shows colour readings both in numerical or graphical mode to improve operability and understanding. Pseudo colour simulations to express colour difference or metamerism are also possible for rapid visual indication.

Easy to operate.

The CM-700d and CM-600d also set new standards in ease of use and intuitive operation. Five dedicated buttons for the most important operations and displayed menu guidance in 6 languages make it easy to navigate through all functions and features. Data memory capacity allows users to store up to 1,000 targets and 4,000 measurement sets. With the "Auto target" function, the instrument searches for the closest target of any measured colour.

Easy to read colour LCD screen.

Abundant information is displayed in colour for easy understanding. Measured colours can also be reproduced as colour patches on the colour LCD, which is useful to check the level of colour difference or to search for colours.

More than you expect.

In addition to all the advanced technology, both models come with a full list of features and functions you can expect from the leader and pioneer in portable colour measurement:

1. Sphere geometry with simultaneous measurement (automatic switching) of specular components included (di:8°) and excluded (de:8°)
2. Powerful and long life Xenon Flash illumination for maximum accuracy even on dark and saturated colours
3. Highest levels in Inter-Instrument- and Inter-Model-Agreement, essential for global colour data exchange
4. Choice of 3 power supply modes: Dry battery, rechargeable batteries (4 AA size) or AC Adapter for maximum flexibility
5. Automatic "Stand-by" power saving function mode
