The CR-400 is a handheld chroma meter for measuring color reflectance of solids, powders, and pastes using a pulsed xenon lamp. It has an 8 mm measurement area and 11 mm illumination area. Repeatability is within ∆E*ab 0.07, and inter-instrument agreement is within ∆E*ab 0.6. The detachable measuring head stores up to 1,000 measurements and supports 20 calibration channels. It operates on four AAA alkaline or Ni-MH batteries, yielding approximately 800 measurements per charge, and includes an AC adapter. The unit features a dot-matrix LCD with backlight, supports English and five other languages, and communicates via RS-232C or USB 2.0 (with converter). Dimensions are 102 mm × 217 mm × 63 mm, and it weighs approximately 600 g without batteries. It complies with JIS Z 8722 condition c and CIE 1931 standard observer conditions using C and D65 illuminants.
The CR-400 Chroma Meter is a handheld, portable measurement instrument designed to evaluate the color of objects, particularly with smoother surface conditions or minimal color variation. Through standard or customized evaluation formulas, this high accuracy, reliable colorimeter helps users control the color quality, consistency, and appearance of their samples in a more efficient, streamlined process internally and throughout the supply chain. It accurately identifies color characteristics in objects, determines color differences between objects, and provides pass/fail assessments to immediately determine if the sample meets the defined standard. This makes the CR-400 ideal for color inspections of food, building material, plastic, and dermatological applications within quality control, quality assurance, and R&D fields.
The CR-400 Chroma Meter is compatible with an optional data processor to print results on-site or SpectraMagic NX software to record measurements and provide a more comprehensive color analysis.
