Description
The model H500 is an RGB Color Analyzer that can measure the amount of Red, Blue and Green as well as the Hue, Saturation and Luminance of items such as Paints, Plastics, Fabrics, or just about anything you might need to know the color of.
Question: What is the black cardboard sleeve with the white paper that was included in the case of my H500?
Answer: It is the White Color Calibration Card used for calibrating the H500. See page 8 in the instruction manual.
Specifications
Display
LCD size: 2.3 x 1.3" (59 x 34mm)
Measuring Geometry
45°/0° - Circular illumination at 45°, measurement at 0°
Spectral Range
400nmto 700nm
Light Source
Two white LEDs
Measuring Principle
- For non light emitting sample measurements such as textiles or paper, a defined light source illuminates the sample and reflected surface light is spectrometrically analyzed. - For light emitting sample measurements such as CRT or LCD, the light source fromthe sample is spectrometrically analyzed directly.
Color Sensors
Three color photo transistors. One for all three Red, Blue &Green colors.
Measurements
RGB Value R (Red) value : 0 to 1023 G (Green) value: 0 to 1023 B (Blue) value: 0 to 1023 HSL Value H (Hue) value: 0 to 1.000 S (Saturation) value: 0 to 1.000 L (Luminance) value: 0 to 1.000
Repeatability
Specified after the instrument is calibrated and measurement is repeated on the same sample tested ten times within two minutes R (Red) Value < 4 G (Green) Value < 4 B (Blue) Value < 4 H (Hue) Value < 0.02 S (Saturation) Value < 0.02 L (Luminance) Value < 0.02
Measurement Sample Material Types
Type 1 = Non light emitting material such as Textiles, Paint etc… Type 2 = Light emitting material such as CRT, LCD, Lamp etc… Important Note:The H500 is designed for measuring type 1 materials. Type 2 materials are for reference only, any accuracies or stated capabilities do not apply to type 2 materials.
