Storage and Handling

This instrument contains precision optics and electronics. You should avoid

knocking or dropping the device as the resulting impact could cause serious

damage.

In some circumstances the optical components in the instrument could

become misted as a consequence of temperature change. It is recommended

that the instrument is not used until it has stabilised to the ambient

temperature.

Ensure that the instrument is not exposed to moisture, chemicals or any

corrosive vapours.

Do not interfere or place any objects inside the measuring aperture as damage

to the measuring system could occur.

The instrument housing and screen are resistant to a variety of solvents

however it is not possible to guarantee resistance to all chemicals, therefore

the surfaces of the instrument should only be cleaned using a soft, moist cloth.

Prevent exposure of the instrument to direct sunlightfor prolonged periods and

to continuous humidity and condensation.

About the Rhopoint NG Flex 60

The Rhopoint NG Flex 60 is used to quantify the gloss of difficult to access mid-low

gloss surfaces. The instrument measures using the 60° geometry specified for

measuring mid gloss surfaces 10-70GU.

To improve the measurement performance on low gloss surfaces (0-10 GU) the

instrument has a GUh range: gloss unit high resolution. The GUh range gives x10

resolution and improved repeatability and accuracy on low gloss surfaces. Any

surface from 0-125 GU can be measured using this device.

The GUh low gloss high resolution range uses an additional high gain amplifier for

improved measurement on matt surfaces.
