Meter Positioning<br />
Flat Panels<br />
The K-10A ships with a read head boot which can be used to nudge the K-10A right up<br />
against a display. The boot is made of soft rubber so that you need not worry about<br />
damaging the surface of the display. Because it removes all ambient light, the read head<br />
boot makes the K-10A ideal for measuring reflective displays such as plasmas.<br />

<strong>Klein</strong> K-10<br />
7 degree field of view<br />
Can handle an amazing amount of light (100k nits)<br />
Long focus lens included, can be switched in the field for $20, if needed.<br />
<strong>Klein</strong> K-10 CP<br />

Features<br />
Provides quick, error-free measurements. Takes 256 sample measurements every second, even<br />
at the lowest light levels.<br />
Highly Accurate and Stable. Large 5mm x 5mm photodiodes, plus calibrated temperature<br />
compensation, achieves the highest degree of accuracy and stability of any colorimeter.<br />
Low Light Level Measurement Sensitivity of 0.00006 fL. Accurate measurement at display black<br />
levels insure accurate analysis and contrast ratio measurements.<br />
Luminance Measurements to 100,000 cd/m2. The K-10A provides accurate measurement of<br />
even the extreme luminance levels produced by outdoor LED video boards and signs.<br />
Integrated LED Calibration Table. The K-10A includes a factory calibration table for new LED light<br />
based display measurement.<br />
Red LED aiming aid accurately defines the area of light collected and applied to sensors.<br />
Fully integrated and supported with CalMAN Display Calibration Software.<br />
Soft rubber read head boot safely positions the lens to flat panel screens and blocks ambient<br />
light without damaging the display surface.<br />
Large Photodiodes. Diodes that are 5mm x 5mm each, along with thermally stable components,<br />
are combined to report the highest degree of accuracy.<br />
Exceptionally Accurate Filters. Not only is the f1' of Y critical, but also the accuracy of X and Z.<br />
Light Mixing Chamber. This ensures all the diodes see the same light and virtually eliminates any<br />
x,y variations by turning the probe clockwise or counter clockwise.<br />
Quick Measurements. The head takes 256 measurements per second, even at low light. For<br />
readability, 8 measurements per second is displayed.<br />
