One-Hand Operation. No switches to turn on; no buttons to push. Power-on is automatic. Just position the target over your sample, select filter and press down the RCP housing to read density. To conserve battery power, the lamp shuts off after 2 seconds; the display remains on as long as RCP is held down on sample.
Rugged, Compact Design. Electronic circuitry and optical system are mounted on a firm, metal baseplate and protected by an unbreakable plastic cover. High strength, low mass design (a mere 14 oz.) that is built for years of tough pressroom use.
Long Battery Life. Thousands of measurement cycles on one 9V alkaline battery. A "LO BAT" signal on the display gives you plenty of warning when it needs replacement. An optional rechargeable NiCad battery and charger kit are also available.
Fast Filter Selection. Select the correct filter for the desired color with a simple turn of the knob. Filters are protected from direct source light and dust for long life and minimum fading.
Zero To Paper with Ease. A single thumbwheel FINE ZERO adjustment allows you to quickly offset zero to your paper base or adjust it to the calibration standard supplied with the RCP. The ZERO and CALIBRATE controls allow for periodic adjustment as well as to force conformity to another densitometer, if desired.
