Konica Minolta CL-200A Chroma Meter

Item information:

Condition: Pre-owned

 Warranty: 6 Months

Brand: Konica Minolta

Description

The CL-200A is a compact, handheld chroma meter made by Konica Minolta, designed for precise measurement of light source characteristics — not just brightness (illuminance) but also chromaticity, color temperature, dominant wavelength, and color purity. sensing.konicaminolta.asia+2KONICA MINOLTA
It’s especially suited for modern light sources like LEDs and OLEDs, where “white light” can come with very different spectral characteristics. KONICA MINOLTA 

Key design features include a removable receptor head (so the sensor can be located remotely/independently of the display unit) and software support for data management. KONICA MINOLTA +2sensing.konicaminolta.asia+2
It is widely used in lighting design, LED module development, projector systems, color measurement for displays, and quality-control of light sources. merenisvetla.cz+2Konica Minolta Sensing+2

Key Features & Specifications

Here are the main features and specs for the CL-200A:

• Measurement capabilities:

  • Illuminance (lux or foot-candles) KONICA MINOLTA +1

  • Tristimulus values (XYZ) KONICA MINOLTA Chromaticity coordinates (xy, u′v′) KONICA MINOLTA 

  • Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) and Δuv Konica Minolta Sensing

  • Dominant wavelength & excitation purity (for colored sources) KONICA MINOLTA

  • Color difference values (ΔXYZ, Δ(Ev, xy), etc) KONICA MINOLTA -

  • Measuring range:

  • Illuminance: 0.1 to 99,990 lux (or 0.01 to 9,999 fcd) in four automatically selected ranges KONICA MINOLTA

  • Chromaticity readings require at least 5 lux (0.5 fcd) or above. KONICA MINOLTA - Accuracy & repeatability:

  • Illuminance (Ev): ±2% ±1 digit at 800 lux (with standard Illuminant A) merenisvetla.cz+1

  • Chromaticity (xy): ±0.002 at 800 lux under the same conditions. merenisvetla.cz+1

  • Repeatability for xy: ±0.0005 (again under standard test conditions) merenisvetla.cz+1

• Response: ~0.5 seconds for continuous measurement. merenisvetla.cz+1

• Design & physical:

  • Dimensions: 69 × 174 × 35 mm sensing.konicaminolta.eu+1

  • Weight: ~215 g (≈7.6 oz) excluding batteries. KONICA MINOLTA

  • Power: 2 × AA-size batteries (alkaline) giving typical battery life around 72 hours of continuous measurement. Also optional AC adapter. sinodevices.com+1

• Environment & operational:

  • Operating temperature: –10 to 40°C, relative humidity ≤85% (no condensation) Konica Minolta Sensing

  • Storage: –20 to 55°C, relative humidity ≤85% KONICA MINOLTA

  • Connectivity & extras:

  • USB or RS-232C output (depending on version) for data export. KONICA MINOLTA

  • Comes with software for data management and multi-point measurement support (2 to 30 receptor heads) for more complex measurement systems. sensing.konicaminolta.asia+2KONICA MINOLTA 

  • Detachable receptor head: the sensor portion can be physically separated (via a LAN cable or adapter) from the main display/control unit – useful for remote placement or integration into measurement rigs. KONICA MINOLTA - 

Why it might be a good choice

• If you’re evaluating lighting systems (especially LEDs, OLEDs, mixed light sources) and want not just brightness but accurate color/chromaticity data, this is a serious instrument.

• The ability to measure dominant wavelength and purity means it isn’t just “how bright is it” but “what’s the quality/color profile of that light” — very useful in film/studio/lighting design, displays, LED module manufacturing, etc.

• The detachable sensor head and multi-point measurement options make it flexible for both handheld use and more complex set-ups.

• Good accuracy & repeatability means the measurements can be trusted/used in QC, R&D, design workflows.
