* The RGB-1002 is a portable color analyzer equipped with an external sensor probe having a  45° /0° color measuring geometry. The modem, accurate microprocessor technology uses the spectral analysis method to determine the color of the sample. Excellent repeatability due to spectroscopic analysis technique used.

* Friendly operation, just press the operation button will get the color value ( R, G, B or H, S, L ).

* Relative function, can easy to compare the color value of the different two measurement material.

* The RGB-1002 is designed mainly for measuring the color of no lighting sample such as textiles, paper, leathers, painting materials...... It is the useful tool for the quality control and the wide industrial application.

* The color analyzer also can measure the reference lighting sample color value such as CRT, LCD monitor, LED lamp, lighting lamp.....

* For no lighting sample color measurement, a defined light source illuminates the sample and the reflected surface light is spectrometrically analyzed.

* For lighting sample color measurement,  the light source of sample is spectrometrically analyzed directly.

* RS232 computer interface,  can store the measuring color value in the computer for recording and the further color analysis.

* Build in CAL ( Calibration ) button, for no lighting sample measurement, use the included white color calibration card to make the self calibration easily.

* Hand held housing case, easy to carryout.

* Power supply by 006P DC 9V battery or DC 9V adapter.

* To check the color value of textiles, paper, leathers, painting materials.

* The objective quality control of color during production.

* The color measurement and recording of products supplied by supplier to check for conformity specification.

* The comparison of color samples against color standard.

* The interpretation and statistic evaluation of color sample measurement.

* To check the reference color value of CRT monitor, LCD monitor, light lamp.

* Repeatability is specified under the same sample tested 10 times within two minutes. * Accuracy is specified under after the instrument is calibrated.

Measurement sample material type

Type 1 : No lighting sample material : Such as textiles, paper, leathers... Type 2 : Lighting sample material : Such as CRT, LCD monitor,LED lamp, lighting lamp..... * The RGB-1002 is designed mainly for measuring the color value of type 1 ( nolighting sample ). For the type 2 ( lighting sample ) color measurement just for the reference only.
