1. 2 Continue to hold the Color Sensor Element 4 15 Fig 1 in place while the meter makes its measurement During the measurement you will see the Mesu marker on the top of the LCD The measurement process takes approximately 5 seconds 3 After the measurement you the RGB values on the LCD and the Mesu marker on the LCD will disappear 4 5 HSL Measurements 1 For HSL measurements follow steps from section 4 4 then press the RGB HSL Button 4 7 Fig 1 This will display the HSL values A separate measurement is not necessary 2 You toggle between values by pressing the RGB HSL Button 4 7 Fig 1 HSL Considerations The HSL color is more closely approximates how the human eye distinguishes a color compared to the common RGB color value Hue is what distinguishes on color from another You can think of Hue a specific color Saturation is how much color or the purity of the color is present Luminance is how bright or intense the color is 4 6 REL Relative Measurements After making a measurement it is possible to subtract the measured values from the display to allow you to easily measure the difference of two color samples 1 After measurement has been made press the REL Button 4 6 Fig 1 and the LCD should display all zeros 2 Now perform your measurement on the new sample The resulting displayed values will be the difference between the two colors The values will be flashing on the scre2. Congratulation on your purchase of this Anaheim Scientific RGB Color Analyzer with HSL measuring capabilities The H500 is equipped with an external sensor probe having a 45 0 color measuring geometry It is designed around a microprocessor technology that uses a spectral analysis method to determine the color of the area under test The model H500 has excellent repeatability due to the spectroscopic analysis technique used 1 1 Features Measure both RGB and HSL levels Easy to use Relative REL feature allows the comparison of to color samples Two year warranty 1 2 Applications Check color levels of Plastics Textiles Paper Paints and Leathers Quality control in production and manufacturing Comparisons of color samples against color standards Check reference color values of CRTs LCD monitors and light lamps 2 Safety Information A Read the following safety information carefully before attempting to operate or service the meter Only qualified personnel should perform repairs or servicing not covered in this manual 2 1 Cautions DO NOT submerge the products mentioned in this manual in water or any other types of liquids E This product is not designed for use in medical applications The product can only be used to measure body temperature simply for reference 2 2 Safety Symbols Dangerous refer to this manual before using the meter C Conforms to requirements of European Union and European Fare Trade Associa
