The instrument is equipped with double apertures to facilitate accurate color analysis, and its integrating sphere measures Φ40mm. It uses a state-of-the-art full spectrum LED light source coupled with UV light sources for comprehensive spectral analysis. The spectrophotometric mode employs a flat grating for meticulous data capture.
A silicon photodiode array (double row with 40 groups) is used as the.sensor, providing a wavelength range from 400 nm to 700 nm with an interval and semiband width of 10 nm each. The YR05494 can measure reflectance in a range of 0-200%, with a precise measuring aperture of MAV:Φ8mm/Φ10mm and SAV:Φ4mm/Φ5mm.
Color space analysis includes CIE LAB, XYZ, Yxy, and s-RGB among others, alongside color difference formulas such as ΔE*ab and ΔE*uv, affirming its capability in advanced colorimetry tasks. It offers a wide array of colorimetric indexes like whiteness and yellowness indices and metamerism index measurement.
The device allows multiple observing angles (2°/10°) and supports numerous illuminants, including D65 and A, expanding its adaptability to various light conditions. It provides real-time display of spectrogram and chromaticity values on its 3.5-inch TFT color touchscreen, ensuring user-friendly operation and swift data interpretation.
Repeatability and accuracy are exceptional, with spectral reflectance and chromaticity deviations maintained within minimal thresholds. The instrument supports single and average measurements (up to 99 times) and features camera locating for optimal stabilization. With compact dimensions of 129x76x217mm and weighing approximately 600g, it’s as portable as powerful.
The YR05494 is powered by a robust 3.7v, 5000mAh Li-ion battery capable of performing up to 6000 measurements within eight hours, and it can store extensive data with capacity for standard and sample readings. Connectivity is versatile thanks to USB and Bluetooth 4.2 options.
