The Klein K-10 is a reference-class non-contact optical color meter with superb accuracy, the fastest read times you will find, and superior performance at low light.
| This is an incredibly fast meter. In all our testing, we've never seen anything that approaches its speed.
The K-10 can return results at low light levels beyond the point at which any other meter we've seen gives up ― and it's still fast at those levels!
(It's also capable of returning accurate levels at extremely high light levels.)
The color readings delivered by the K-10 closely map the CIE specifications. |

Read Head Boot for Contact Mode
The K-10 ships with a read head boot which can be used to nudge the K-10 right up against a display. The boot is made of soft rubber so that you need not worry about damaging the surface of the display. Because it removes all ambient light, the read head boot makes the K-10 ideal for measuring reflective displays such as plasmas.
Industrial Strength Instrument
Unlike fragile lab instruments which cannot withstand transportation or use in the field, the K-10 is a rugged instrument built to industrial standards. |
Selected Features
- Large Photodiodes. Diodes that are 5mm x 5mm each, along with thermally stable components, are combined to report the highest degree of accuracy.
- Exceptionally Accurate Filters. Not only is the f1’ of Y critical but the accuracy of X and Z as well.
- Light Mixing Chamber. This ensures all the diodes see the same light and virtually eliminates any x,y variations by turning the probe clockwise or counter clockwise.
- Quick Measurements over an RS-232 line. The head takes 256 measurements per second, even at low light. For readability, 8 measurements per second is displayed.
- FFT Flicker Meter: Probe measures & integrates Y data in the head, and streams in real time to the pc, and a Fast Fourier Transform is performed. JEITA method.
- 8 Bright LED's. LED's projecting through a 62mm focal length lens and focusing on a display, define the measurement area. Acceptance angle is +/- 5 degrees.
- Rugged Construction. The K-10’s auto ranging is solid state and the case is impact resistant to hold up to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week required usage that manufacturing plants require.
