Steps
1. Plug one end of the power cord into the socket at the rear of the Colorbox cabinet, and the other end into a power supply 220/230V 50/60 Hz. Use the main switch on the right side panel to turn on the Colorbox side of the cabinet. The display will indicate that the power is on.
2. Press the "ON / OFF" key once, the timer will display the total usage time of the cabinet.
3. Press the D65 key, the D65 light will light up. The timer shows the total usage time of the D65 lamp. The total operating time of each light source F, TL84 or UV is recorded and displayed on the timer.
4. If you need to use two or more light sources at the same time, just press two or more buttons at the same time.
5. Place the item to be checked in the center of the light box. When comparing the colors of two or more items at the same time, do not view them by overlapping, but place them parallel in the cabinet.
6. It is a good habit to observe objects with reference to Figure 1. If light is projected on an item at a right angle, the item should be viewed at a 45° angle.
7. Press the ON / OFF key to turn off the power when finished. Use the main switch on the side to turn off the Colorbox in case it will not be used for an extended period of time.
8. Install the new lamp, as shown in Figure 2. Always make sure the correct light is installed in the correct location. After replacement, reset the operating hours of the new lamp to zero, as follows:
• light up new lights,
• Insert a small screwdriver into the center hole of the CLR and press the key (the timer will reset to zero only for lights that are on).
• It is recommended to replace the bulb (especially D65) after 2000 hours of use.
Caution
1) For great results, avoid placing the cabinets where glare, extraneous lights and anything that would hinder the visual response. Any windows near cabinets should be fitted with gray shutters. There should be no direct light in the field of view. Nearby areas should be illuminated with artificial daylight of 200-300 lux.
2) Individuals have slightly different perceptions of certain colors. Therefore, it would be beneficial to conduct a color perception test for all persons involved in decisions involving color coordination.
3) After starting the cabinet and starting the evaluation, focus on the neutral vision, such as the neutral color of the cabinet, for at least five minutes.
4) After changing from one ornate object to another, the eyes need time to adapt (the time is in line with the standard).
