In addition to normal color measurement, the color meter can also determine color differences. For this purpose, a reference measurement is first carried out with the color meter on any reference. Then measurements can be carried out on test objects with the color meter. The colorimeter in turn shows the difference between the reference and the test item. A permissible tolerance can also be stored in the color meter. If the tolerance is adhered to, this is indicated by a green display on the color meter. If the measured color is outside the tolerance, this is indicated by the color meter with a red display.

A connection to an Android capable device can be established with the Bluetooth interface. The free app for the color meter can be downloaded from the Play Store. Measurement parameters can be changed from the app to the color meter. In addition, the measurement can be carried out via the app. The measurement result is then displayed directly in the app. Thus, for example, measurement comparisons can be carried out via the app to the color meter. If measured values ​​are saved on the color meter, they can be read out via the app.

The color meter is therefore used, for example, in quality control in a print shop to check the print result or in the automotive industry to check the paint that has been sprayed on. The battery life of the color meter is approx. 10,000 measurements. If the battery is discharged, it can be recharged in the color meter via the USB-C interface.

The PCE-TCR 200 color device carries out an analysis of the color using CIE Lab* color space. This color device also allows you to determine the colors in the RGB colour range. By means of a source of internal normalized white light the surface is illuminated. The color device absorbs the light reflected from the background and processes it. In addition of indicating the Lab colors, this color device also shows RGB, Lch and HCL colour ranges.

The PCE-TCR 200 color device can also detect the distance ΔE between different color pattern. This color device allows you to set a limited value which should not be exceeded. The PCE-TCR 200 color device checks each measurement to see if it has exceeded the threshold value. Measurement of color is taken by means of a high precision silicon sensor. The sensor detects the light reflected according to the regulations of light source D65, D50 or F11, which can be selected using the menu. The internal memory of the color device is able to store 30 color values into 12 groups. That allows a fast control of the color values. This color device is powered by 4 AA batteries.

It can also be powered by an external power plug. The measurement values can be transferred from the color device to a PC, using a USB port. The PCE-TCR 200 color device will be delivered in a resistant aluminium case. The following is also included in the delivery: Black and white test standards, a network component, a USB cable for data transmission and a case to ensure safe transportation of the color device PCE-TR 200. If there are any questions about the color device PCE-TCR 200  have a look at the technical specification below. Our technicians and engineers will gladly advise you in all color devices and all products in the field of measuring instruments, regulation and control and scales.

PCE-CSM 7 is a portable colorimeter used to measure different spectral parameters. This user-friendly, ergonomically designed colorimeter automatically performs a white and black calibration when powered on. Suitable for manufacturing quality control and assurance as well as product research and development, the colorimeter offers impressive measuring accuracy and comes manufacturer calibrated. An optional ISO calibration certificate can be acquired as an accessory for an additional fee. Useful for determining color difference, chromaticity index, color sample database management, and color difference cumulative analysis. Integrated camera/illumination locating for small samples.

When using the color meter, different color spaces can be selected (CIEL*a*b*C*h*, CIEL*a*b*, CIEXYZ, CIERGB, CIEL*u*v*, CIEL*C*h + Yellowness + Whiteness + Color Fastness). The color meter also offers two different measuring apertures (Ø 4 mm and Ø 8 mm) for different applications. In addition to the individual color space coordinates, deviations between readings are displayed. For example, after taking a measurement with the PCE-CSM 7, a reading can be saved and used as a standard reference value against which other readings can be compared. Up to 100 reference values and up to 20,000 samples can be stored to the internal memory of the colorimeter. The measured data can be transferred to a PC via USB and analyzed using the included PC-compatible software.
