There are just 3 simple steps to perform gloss measurement:
- Power on
- Calibration
- Gloss measurement
1. Power on
Long press the “ON/OFF” button to switch on the gloss meter
2. Calibration
There is a calibration board in the base holder of the gloss meter (shown above). Mount the gloss meter to the base holder and buckle it properly.
Short press the “Calibration” button. While the “CA” symbol is flashing, short press the “Calibration” again. The “CA” symbol disappears and the gloss meter is calibrated.
3. Gloss measurement
Take out the gloss meter from its base plate. Attach the measurement port (at the bottom of the gloss meter) to the surface to be measured. The gloss result is displayed on the screen, without pressing any button.
Good practices
The following good practice practices are recommended:
- Keep the calibration board and the lens in the measurement port clean.
