Ningbo colorimeter maintenance

1. ‌Light source issue‌

The light source is the core component of the colorimeter, and common faults include bulb energy decay, xenon lamp damage, or poor circuit contact.

• ‌performanceThe prompt "ER05 flashing error" appears, the measurement is unstable or cannot be triggered.

• ‌solution‌：

• Clean the integrating sphere and optical components to eliminate contamination and interference.

• Replace the original light source component (if used for more than 2 years, preventive replacement is recommended).

• Avoid disassembling the device on your own to prevent optical calibration deviation.

If the "crocodile" icon is displayed, it means that the lifespan of the light source is only about 10% left and should be replaced immediately.

2. ‌Battery and power supply issues‌

The portable colorimeter relies on battery operation, and insufficient power or abnormal charging can cause it to fail to turn on or lose data.

• ‌Common tipsER02 battery low "," ER27 charging error ".

• ‌solution‌：

• Use original lithium batteries (such as SE15-40 model) to avoid data drift caused by nickel hydrogen batteries.

• Check if the power adapter and interface are loose, and try replacing the spare adapter.

• Regularly charge and avoid deep discharge.

3. ‌Calibration failure (most common issue)‌

Calibration is a crucial step in ensuring accurate measurement, and there are various reasons for failureMore than 60% can be restored through cleaning and settings.

• ‌Main manifestationsWhite calibration failed, incorrect whiteboard values, incomplete zero position calibration, etc.

• ‌Three major sources‌：

1. ‌Calibration benchmark pollutionWhite porcelain tiles or black tubes accumulate dust and stains.

2. ‌Hardware agingLight source attenuation or circuit board abnormality.

3. ‌Firmware compatibilityThe old version has recognition defects.

• ‌Step by step solution‌：

• White porcelain tiles: Remove and wipe with a neutral cleaner and lint free cloth. After drying, align the protruding tongue and reinstall.

• Black tube: After disassembly, blow the dust with dry compressed air, align the arrows and reassemble.

1. ‌clean‌：

2. ‌Restore factory settingsClear configuration conflicts (pay attention to backing up data).

3. ‌Upgrade firmwareDownload the latest version (such as Ci6X Firmware r1.2.922) and upgrade via USB.

If it still fails, it is necessary to send the circuit board for repair or replace the light source component.

4. ‌System and display malfunction‌

This includes screen unresponsive, screen flickering, system crashes, or software freezing.

• ‌Possible reasons‌：

• The screen cable is loose and the motherboard power supply is abnormal.

• Firmware damage, backend program overload.

• External impact caused the inner screen to rupture.

• ‌countermeasures‌：

• Force restart the device (long press the power button).

• Update or reinstall the instrument firmware.

• Contact the brand after-sales service to replace the original screen and avoid compatibility issues.

• ‌Do not disassemble the machine by yourselfTo avoid damaging precision optical components and causing measurement errors.

5. ‌Inaccurate or fluctuating color measurement results‌

Even if the equipment is functioning properly, the measurement results may still deviate.

• ‌Common triggers‌：

• Environmental light fluctuations and excessive temperature and humidity (recommended working environment: 10-40 ℃, humidity<85%).

• The surface of the sample is reflective, has uneven texture, or contains fluorescent substances.

• Unregulated calibration or inconsistent operating angles.

• ‌optimization suggestions‌：

• Perform black and white calibration before each measurement.

• Keep the lens clean and avoid dust from affecting it.

• Operate under stable light sources and stay away from strong magnetic fields or vibration sources.
