3. First Power-Up Sequence
Press the power button to turn on the device. The screen will display a self-test message. Once the self-test is complete, the unit will be ready for calibration.
Calibration Procedures
Calibration is essential for accurate measurements. Follow these steps to perform the calibration on the YR05519:
1. White Calibration
Use the white calibration cavity provided. Place the calibration cavity on the measurement surface, and select the calibration option on the screen. Follow the prompts to complete the white calibration.
2. Black Calibration
Remove the white calibration cavity and replace it with the black one. Again, select the calibration option and follow the prompts to complete the black calibration.
Preparing for Measurements
With the device calibrated, the YR05519 is now ready for its first measurement. Here are steps to ensure correct usage:
1. Sample Preparation
Ensure the sample is appropriately prepared. The measurement aperture of 8 mm is suitable for most standard applications. Ensure the sample is flat and free from dust or residues.
2. Performing a Measurement
Align the measurement aperture with the sample and press the measurement button on the interface. The device will provide a reading within approximately 1.5 seconds, showing values for L, A, and B. Pay attention to the readings to ensure they fall within acceptable ranges.
Common Setup Mistakes to Avoid
