Product catalog summary

Overview: The CL-500A is an advanced illuminance spectrophotometer designed for evaluating next-generation lighting solutions such as LED and EL illumination. It is the first of its kind to conform to both DIN and JIS standards, offering comprehensive measurement capabilities including scotopic illuminance.

Key Features:

Standards Compliance: Conforms to DIN 5032 Part 7 Class B and JIS C 1609-1:2006 General Class AA.
Measurement Capabilities: Measures both photopic and scotopic illuminance, with the ability to display the S/P ratio.
Convenient Functions: Includes continuous measurement mode, average display of multiple measurements, delayed-measurement function, and specific wavelength data display.
Software Integration: Comes with easy-to-use PC software and Excel® add-in for data management and further processing.

Applications:

Evaluation of indoor and special illumination sources, including LEDs and organic EL sources.
Measurement of ambient lighting and projector illumination.
Assessment of photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) for agricultural lighting.

Technical Specifications:

Wavelength Range: 360 to 780 nm with 1 nm pitch.
Accuracy: ±2%±1 digit for illuminance, with specific precision for chromaticity.
Measurement Range: 0.1 to 100,000 lx.
Display Modes: Includes XYZ, Evxy, spectral graph, and more.

Additional Features:

High-speed measurement capability using SDK.
Multi-point measurement with up to 10 units controlled via CL-S10w software.
LED binning function for color variation quantification.

Safety and Certifications: The device is ISO certified and includes safety precautions for proper use.

Specifications:
The device supports multiple languages including English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese. It interfaces via USB 2.0 and is powered by a rechargeable internal lithium-ion battery, providing approximately 6 hours of operation per charge. It can also be powered by an AC adapter or USB power bus. The operational temperature range is -10 to 40°C with a relative humidity of 85% or less, while the storage temperature range is -10 to 45°C under the same humidity conditions. The dimensions are 70 × 165 × 83 mm, and it weighs 350 g.

Data Management Software CL-S10w:
This software is an add-in for Excel® and requires specific operating environments, including various versions of Windows® and Excel®. It supports languages such as English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. The software is compatible with instruments like CL-500A, CL-200A, and CL-200, although some functions may not be usable with CL-200. Display items include spectral irradiance, illuminance, general color-rendering index Ra, and correlated color temperature.

Accessories:
Standard accessories include a wrist strap, cap, data management software, hood, USB cable, soft case, and AC adapter. Optional accessories are also available.
