What to do first…

Unpack and Inspect

•Remove the instrument from the shipping carton. Be sure

to keep the original carton. If shipment is necessary, the

instrument should be packaged in the original carton.

Contact X-Rite if you need a new shipping carton.

•Inspect the instrument for any damage. If any damage

occurred during shipment, immediately contact the

transportation company. Do not proceed with installation

until the carrier’s agent has inspected the damage.

•Check your packaging contents against your packing list

and original order. A detailed packaging drawing and a

parts list can be found in the instrument's Operator's

Manual.

Shoe Lock Operation

To take measurements with the instrument, you must

unlock the shoe. When the instrument is not in use, the

shoe should be re-locked to protect the instrument optics.

A rotating latch on the bottom of the instrument locks the

shoe closed.

1. To unlock, hold shoe against the instrument and rotate

latch. Align latch so that it fits through the cutout in the

shoe. Carefully release the shoe to open.

2. To lock, hold shoe against the instrument and rotate latch

to catch the detents in the shoe.

Charge the Battery Pack

Only use the AC Adapter supplied or the optional battery

charger (X-Rite P/N 500CHG). The battery pack must remain

in the instrument at all times to operate.

Before initial “remote” use of the instrument, charge the

battery pack for approximately three hours. However, if

immediate use is required, the instrument can be operated

“tethered” to the AC adapter during battery charging.

To attach the AC adapter:

1. Verify that the voltage indicated on the adapter complies

with the AC line voltage in your area. If not, contact

X-Rite or an authorized representative.

2. Insert the small plug from the adapter into the power-

input connector on the instrument. (If you are using serial

cable SE108-92, you may insert the small plug into the

power connector at the end of the cable.)

3. Plug the adapter into an AC wall receptacle.

Apply Power

The Battery switch—located on the bottom of the

instrument—turns the instrument off and on during battery

operation. When the AC adapter is attached, the instrument

remains on and the battery switch has no affect.

Instrument Description & Features

The 552 Spectrophotometer is used to measure and store sample color

readings. When samples are stored, the instrument is used in conjunction

with a ColorDesigner software package.

The Main Menu

When the instrument is powered-up, the Measure Mode screen

appears. Measure Mode operation is covered later in this

section. The screen shown below is the main (top level)

screen. The left side of the main menu screen lists all available

modes. The right side of the screen lists instrument model and

firmware version information.

@ Tab Down key – advances the highlighted bar (reverse

image) to the next available “tab stop.” A “tab stop”

indicates an item that can be acted on further, such as a

measurement or a setting option. Tab stops generally

follow a left-to-right or top-to-bottom sequence.

$ Tab Up key – performs the same function as the Tab

Down key except in reverse order. Tab stops follow a

right-to-left or bottom-to-top sequence.

# Enter key – activates the highlighted item. When entering

an active mode from the main menu, the active mode is

displayed with the highlight on the first required operation

in the mode.

! Escape key – backs up the instrument screen one menu

level.

% Main Menu key – returns the instrument screen to the

main menu. This is a quick exit out of any mode. If any

option is being modified at the time the key is pressed, the

edits are aborted and the previous setting reinstated.

Measure Mode Screen

The measure mode provides a method for storing sample

measurements in the instrument’s database. A sample is

assigned to a specific location. Location names and sample

names are created using the alphanumeric editor or an optional

barcode reader. Each location can store a maximum of 50

sample measurements.

The Measure Mode screen consists of four main areas: Sample

information, Controls, User dialog, and Measurement

information.

Location A: Bedroom

Sample 1: Door Trim

SAVE

RESET

Averages:1

Select a location

§Sample Information - This area displays the location

name, sample name and samples stored in the selected

location. Pressing the Enter #key when Location is

highlighted provides access to the selection editor.

GETTING STARTED

Pressing the Enter #key when Bedroom (user defined

location name) or Door Trim (user defined sample

name) is highlighted provides access to the location

names or sample names stored in the instrument.

§Controls - This portion of the screen is used to save or

reset the current sample measurement. Pressing the Enter

#key when SAVE is highlighted stores the current

measurement in the instrument. Pressing the Enter #key

when RESET is highlighted reset the average counter to

zero for the current sample.

§User Dialog - This portion of the screen indicates the

current mode or condition of the instrument. For example,

if the highlighted tab stop focus is on Location A, the

user dialog would display <Select a location>.

Measurement and error conditions are also displayed in

this location.

•Measurement Information - This portion of the screen

displays how many measurements have been completed

on the current sample.
