Inquire product
  • Handheld and Portable
    Weighing only 600 grams, the TR 500 is the perfect lightweight portable spectrophotometer. It’s compact and ergonomic design offers easy one-handed operation, helping to prevent operator fatigue and enabling more measurements per hour. Offering the possibility of 5000 measurements with 8 hours battery life enables the TR 500 to be used anywhere on site for a prolonged period of time.
  • Accuracy
    Giving accurate and repeatable results is what the TR 500 does best. The on board camera based locator, enables the user to position the instrument accurately on the chosen sample with minimal contact. This feature dramatically minimize the chances of geometric metamerism.
  • Aperture Options
    Choosing the correct aperture size for your surface is extremely important for accurate measurement. This is why the TR 500 has three aperture options available in either 8mm, 4mm or 1x3mm. This choice of customised aperture helps to ensure the instrument is perfect for your measurement needs.
  • Calibration
    The calibration board supplied with every TR 500 incorporates a white tile and black calibration plate. This allows minimum and maximum readings to be checked every 24 hours.
  • FREE Software
    As standard, the TR 500 comes with a FREE PC software package. The OnShade software allows for a detailed data analysis which can then be shared or printed via the optional micro printer accessory.
  • Suitable for Multiple Applications
    The versatility of the TR 500 means its suitable for multiple applications and has the ability to report CIE Lab, XYZ, Yxy, LCh, CIE LUV, Hunter Lab colour spaces, ∆E*L*a*b*, ∆E*C*h°, ∆E*uv, ∆E*94, ∆E*cmc(2:1), ∆E*cmc(1:1), ∆E*00, ∆E Hunter Colour Difference Formulars; and can be set to D65, A, C, D50, D55, D75, F2, F7 & F11 illuminants. In addition, the TR 500 can report a wide selection of other Colorimetric Indexes: WI (ASTM E313, CIE/ISO, AATCC, Hunter),YI (ASTM D1925, ASTM 313), TI (ASTM, E313, CIE/ISO), Metamerism Index (MI), Colour stain, Colour Fastness, Colour Strength and Opacity. This data can be seen as either Spectral Value/Graph, Colorimetric Value, Colour Difference Value/ Graph, PASS/FAIL Result, Colour Offset or Samples Chromaticity values.
