Specifications
For best performance, your instrument should be placed where there is ample work space with medium or subdued illumination and no drafts. For optimum results, a clean, air-conditioned area is recommended with a relative noncondensing humidity of 5-85% and relatively constant temperature not exceeding 110°F (43°C). For specification performance, the recommended temperature range is 70- 82°F (21°-28°C).
The instrument should be connected to a stable, instrument-grade power line. If other equipment is connected to the same power line, a transient power surge may be produced when the other equipment is turned on. If this happens, restandardize the instrument before making measurements. HunterLab recommends using a line conditioner with a minimum 600VA rating and a battery back-up system.
ColorFlex can be stored in an area with a temperature range of -10° to 140°F (-23° to 60°C) and can be operated under temperature conditions of 50° to 110°F (10° to 43°C). Do not leave ColorFlex in any area where temperature extremes are possible.

Serial Port
ColorFlex can communicate with any computer or 80-column printer that is equipped with an RS-232 serial interface. The RS-232 cable provided by HunterLab can be used only with an IBM-compatible computer or an IBM- or Hewlett Packard-compatible printer with a serial interface. In addition, the RS- 232 cable may also be used to connect the ColorFlex with an optional bar code scanner.
Note: Color plots, color difference plots, and spectral plots may only be printed on an HP- compatible printer.
Serial Port Configuration
The ColorFlex RS-232 serial port is configured in the following manner:
