Ø System data: Built-in SD card saves the instrument-specific calibration data files,
the operations such as: spectral calibration, zero calibration will modify the
contents of the file. System data has one click backup and restore functions, the
backup data was exited before leaving the factory (name: Factory data). User can
make a backup system data file themselves : Click "Backup", input the name then
the backup is completed, the data will also be saved in SD card. In Advanced
mode, a restore button will appeared on the right of the Backup button (as shown
in Fig 4.21), click to complete the restore operation (as shown in Fig4.25), uses
can choose factory data or user-generated backup data when restoring.
Note: the restoring will take effects after restarting the instrument.
Ø Detector connection: Connect the detector and main connection via cable or
wireless Bluetooth (only for AW and BW type), see section 3.2 for details. User
M130425CM1351202
can set up the system according to the current connection status, the instrument
can also judge the connection mode automatically . If the detector is connected
well, (line connection) or (bluetooth connection) will shown on the state

bar.
Note: The software will automatically selects the detector connection mode
before the test according to the communication states. After the actual
connection mode changed, the software will automatically selects the
connection mode of the detector according to the automatic communication
states. while the communication time during the courese of automatically
judging the probe connection way will be prolonged.
Ø Detector power charge(For AW and BW type only): Shows the percentage of
current power of the detector(not main unit power). Generally, it needs to be
charged when the power is no more than 20%. When the detector and the main
unit are connected via cable, the detector is charged by the main unit, while the
main unit shall be charged by the equipped adapters.
Note: The low power will leads to failed communication or abnormal data.

The detector power can be referred to the system settings.

Ø Bluetooth init(for AW and BW type only): only in advanced mode
When bluetooth communication fails, user has to pair again as follows. First,
separate the detector from the main unit , and turn on the power switch on the
detector, click “Bluetooth init” , then it will enter into the waiting interface as
shown in Fig.4.30 (left). The detectors searched appear shown in Fig.4.26(right).
Match the corresponding detector with the main unit, it will prompt the success.
Notes: When pairing, the last 8 number must be full equivalence,or the test
data is not accurate.

4.2.5 Remote control
There are two remote communication ways between PC and the main unit of SPIC-200: USB and
WIFI (Only for AW and BW model). If using USB , the main unit of SPIC -200 and PC are
connected by it; if using WIFI , user need to equip the wireless router, the name of the wireless
router must be configured for the SSID: EVERFINE, password: 12345678, encryption method :
AES, main unit of SPIC- 200 will take the initiative to connect the wireless router named
EVERFINE.
If the PC software communicates with SPIC-200, first click on the "Remote Control" menu,
select the communication mode (as shown in Fig 4.27), then entering remote control interface,
the instrument can communicate with PC via USB or WIFI . when exiting remote control interface,
PC can not control instruments.

Chapter 6 Instrument Testing

This method is applicable to the verification of the specifications of SPIC-200
Spectral irradiance colorimeter.
Besides specification, the instrument do zero setting after turned on or in standby wake no less
than five minutes to warm up, than test after the calibration .
6.1 Verification conditions
6.1.1 Working conditions
(1) Ambient temperature: 23℃ ± 5℃

(2) Relative humidity: 55%RH ± 5%RH
(3) Indoors without corrosive atmosphere.
(4) Ensure the surrounding mechanical vibration and electromagnetic environment
M130425CM1351202
does not interfere with the test results.
6.1.2 Apparatus
Mercury lamp, Thermostatic blue LED lamp, Standard illuminant A, Standard power
supply, Optical rail
6.2 Items and methods
6.2.1 Items and methods
Choose a mercury lamp or laser as the light source, test three times at the spectra line
404.66nm, 435.88nm, 546.07nm and 632.80nm, then figure out each peak wavelength
λi. Then calculate according to formula 6.1, the deviation should meet the technical
specifications of wavelength accuracy shown in chapter 2.
Dl = li - l0 (6.1)
Where Dl is the wavelength accuracy, nm; li is the wavelength average value of
three tests; l0 is characteristic wavelength corresponding to the peak value of the

mercury lamp.
Fig 6.1 Wavelength accuracy verification
6.2.2 Chromaticity coordinates accuracy
Preheat SPIC-200 and standard illuminant A for 30 minutes first. Then calibrate
SPIC-200 with the standard illuminant A to get the standard spectrum. Maintain the
M130425CM1351202
working conditions for standard A, then measure the chromaticity every 2 minutes.
After 3 runs, calculate the accuracy according to (6.2). The result should be consistent
with the specifications in chapter 2 under standard illuminant A.
Du = ui - u 0 (6.2)
Where Du is the chromaticity coordinate accuracy under standard illuminant A; ui

is the average value of chromaticity coordinate for 3 tests; u0 is the standard value of
chromaticity coordinate of standard illuminant A.
6.2.3 Photometric channel linearity
The illuminance value is measured on the optical rail. By moving SPIC-200 to

different distances (e.g. 1m-6m), the illuminance value Xi can be measured at each
distance. The standard illuminance value Bi at different distances is calculated by the
photometric distance law referring to the standard illuminance value B0 at 1m. Then
calculate the photometric channel linearity according to (6.3). The result should be
consistent with the standards in chapter 2.

1 n X i - Bi
r= å
n i =1 Bi
´ 100% ，Bi≠B0 (6.3)
Where r is the photometric channel linearity error; Xi is the measured value; Bi is the
standard value; n is the measurement times.
6.2.4 Stray light
With the standard illuminant A as the light source, set up the sensitivity to “low” and
choose 450nm as the working wavelength. After zero calibration, take down the peak
value AD0（AD0>55000）and calculate the average value after 10 runs. Put an optical
filter whose cutoff wavelength at 510nm on the incident light path, and take down the
average value AD' around 450±5nm. Then calculate the percentage of stray light
according to (6.4).
M130425CM1351202
SL=AD'/AD0×100% (6.4)
Where SL is the percentage of stray light; AD0 is the peak value of spectrum; AD' is
the value at chosen wavelength (around the range of cutoff wavelengths).

Chapter 7 Common Faults

Common Faults
1. It prompt that the USB device can not be recognized, when the SPIC200 connects
with computer by USB .
Solutions:
a. Check whether the USB port of the computer is OK. User can check it by USB
device. If it also can not be recognize, please change a USB port of the computer.
b. Check the USB communication cable, and make sure the USB communication
cable is well. Change a USB cable or wire other USB device with this cable.
2. The spectrum signal is weak or it can not be test.
Solutions:
M130425CM1351202
a. Check whether it is in a right way when testing the dark current. And please
calibrate the zero again, refer to the section 4.2.3.
3. Communication failed.
Solutions:
a. For SPIC-200AW or SPIC-200BW, check if the power switch on the back of the
detector is on.
4. Measurement failed through the blue tooth
Solutions:
a. Remove the obstacle between the main unit and the cell phone, or shorten the
distance of them to ensure the blue tooth signal unimpeded
b. Click the “Bluetooth ini” under the menu “System Setting”, rematch the main unit
and the detector, refer to section 4.2.4 for details.
c. The power of the detector is low(the indicator is off or the orange light is flashed),
and please connect it with the main unit and charge it with the power.
5. Measurement failed through the WIFI communication.
Solutions:
a. Exit the remote mode, and reconnect the WIFI.

b. Reconnect the WIFI after the test is finished on the main interface.
