Colorimeter PCE-TCR 200

Precise colorimeter according to CIE standard / measures color distance ΔE / ideal for most surfaces / memory / USB port / PC software for color evaluation.

The PCE-TCR 200 colorimeter performs color analysis in the CIE Lab color space*. This colorimeter also allows determining colors in the RGB color space. Using an internal standardized white light source, the surface is illuminated. The colorimeter absorbs the reflected light from the background and processes it. In addition to indicating Lab colors, this colorimeter allows representing RGB, Lch, and HCL color spaces. The PCE-TCR 200 colorimeter also detects the ΔE distance between different points in the color space. This colorimeter allows setting a threshold value for color difference that should not be exceeded. The PCE-TCR 200 colorimeter checks with each measurement if the threshold value has been exceeded. Color measurement is performed through a high-precision silicon sensor. The colorimeter's sensor detects reflected light according to D65, D50, or F11 light source standards, which can be selected from the menu. The internal memory of the colorimeter allows storing 30 color values in 12 groups, enabling quick control of color values. This colorimeter is powered by 4 AA batteries. It can also be powered through an external network component. Through the USB port, the colorimeter allows transmitting measurement values to a computer. The PCE-TCR 200 colorimeter is shipped in a sturdy aluminum case. The shipment includes black and white check standards, a network component, a USB cable for data transmission, and a case for safe transport of the colorimeter.
