addista® – color Stan­dards

To meet the require­ments of ISO 9000 the per­for­mance of the instru­ment should be tested peri­od­i­cally. There­fore, a cer­ti­fied set of 6 stan­dard liquids is rec­om­mended, con­tain­ing Gard­ner and Hazen color num­bers. To ensure long-term sta­bil­ity, the bot­tles should be stored in a dark and cool envi­ron­ment. They expire three months after being opened.

Portable Prin­ter

The portable thermo prin­ter allows doc­u­men­ta­tion of mea­sure­ment results. It is con­nected to the instru­ment via the USB inter­face. The prin­ter comes with one paper roll, USB con­nec­tor cable and power sup­ply.

Power Sup­ply

Both the LCM III and LCS III are pow­ered by an exter­nal power sup­ply. Addi­tio­n­ally, the LCM III can be used as a truly portable device with the optio­nal recharge­able lithium-ion bat­tery. The exter­nal power sup­ply acts as the charger.

Ver­i­fi­ca­tion Kit

For more detailed qual­ity con­trol of the instru­ment a
Ver­i­fi­ca­tion Kit is avai­l­able which con­sists of four pre­ci­sion glass fil­ters. The fil­ters come with a cer­tifi­cate includ­ing tar­get val­ues and can be used to check for stray light, pho­to­met­ric and wave­length accu­racy. 
When results exceed allow­able tol­er­ance, please con­tact your local ser­vice office.

Ther­mo­s­tat Heater Block

Highly vis­cous liquids should be pre­heated in the heater block. The tem­per­a­ture can be set from 37 °C to 148 °C (99 °F to
298 °F). Only cylin­dri­cal tubes can be used.
The illu­mi­nated LC dis­play ensures easy-to-read results and oper­a­tor gui­dance.

Tung­sten Halo­gen Lamp

The LCM III and LCS III use a tung­sten lamp with an expected life­time of 2000 hours. It can eas­ily be replaced by the user.

Doc­u­men­ta­tion of Mea­sure­ment Results

Stored mea­sure­ment data can be trans­ferred from the instru­ment to a USB mem­ory stick and fur­ther eval­u­ated using a spread­sheet pro­gram like Excel®.
Addi­tio­n­ally, the soft­ware Data­Trans is avai­l­able for direct data trans­fer to a PC.

Hard­ware Require­ments:
Oper­at­ing sys­tem: Win­dows XP or higher
Disk drive: CD-ROM
Inter­face: USB-port

Air Fil­ter Pad

The LCS III is equipped with an air fil­ter to cool the instru­ment dur­ing oper­a­tion. The pad should be inspected reg­u­larly every 3 months. Typ­i­cally it needs to be replaced 1 - 2 times per year.
