Counterweight

The counterweight on the USB cable positions and balances the device against the display.  

  1. Place the C6 HDR2000/HDR5000 on the front of the display.  
  2. Place the counterweight on the back of the display and slide the weight up or down until the counterweight allows the C6 HDR2000/HDR5000 to rest flat on the front of the display in the desired location.
    • Note: Pay attention to the meter when changing the weight position to avoid the meter colliding with the display.

 

Tripod Mounting

    1. A standard ¼” threaded mounting hole can be found on the bottom of the colorimeter. 
    2. Attach the meter to a tripod by screwing it on the mounting stud or use a compatible mounting plate. 
  • Note: Pay attention to the cord when screwing the meter on a mounting stud to not apply pressure on the meter cord attachment.
  1. Tripod height and angle can be changed to position the surface towards the light source at a desired distance.
