FLUO Fluorescence Densitometer▲▲► The FLUO BASIC Fluorescence measurement device is equipped with near UV (365 nm). The dominant wave length of the near UV illumination is 365nm (nanometers). On the receiver side there are three channels to measure the fluorescent effect according to the sensitivity of human eye, i.e. X (red sensitivity), Y (green sensitivity), and Z (blue sensitivity). The FLUO BASIC is supplied with a USB 2.0 cable to output data to a PC. Beta FLUO BASIC Manual 2.

Safety Instructions For safety reasons it is absolutely necessary to read and understand the user's guide. If the safety recommendations and instructions in this User Guide are not complied with, measurement errors or data loss or physical injury or property damage may result.         FLUO is not intrinsically safe. Therefore, the device cannot be used in an environment with explosive vapors where there is a risk of spark ignition.

How to use the FLUO During a measurement the FLUO BASIC will calculate three measurement values, one for X, one for Y, and one for Z. The FLUO can be used in two modes: the color mode will show XYZ values, the intensity mode will show only the intensity of the near UV. The mode is selected in the Configuration shown below. The LCD shows the actual measurement value. The active light source and the dominant channel are displayed by the flashing LEDs at the top of the FLUO device.
PAGE 8
Press the RESET button and keep the right key depressed during reset to perform a FACTORY RESET. The factory Reset will reset all settings and configuration to its defaults. Configure the device to your needs The FLUO can be configured to your needs in a special Configuration mode. Press and hold the right key for at least 5 seconds to enter Configuration mode The configuration mode is indicated by a ‘~’ in the left top corner of the LCD.

b) Select Color display mode or Intensity display mode The FLUO can be used in two different modes. In Color mode the dominant fluorescent color after any 100% reference reading will be displayed automatically. By clicking the right key after a measurement the next XYZ color channel will be displayed – followed by the XYZ color channels of the near UV readings. The Intensity mode will display one value, expressing the total brightness of the light emission within the visual spectrum.
PAGE 10
Set a single solid reference [C 0]..[C 1] If the average number in the settings is set to zero, the calculation of an average is disabled. Position the FLUO with the aperture on the fluorescent reference surface, for example on the substrate with fluorescent ink. Press and hold the ‘up’ key and push the device to the front until 100 appears in the LCD. The maximum reference measurement measures all channels simultaneously and sets the maximum fluorescent signal for each illuminant separately to 100%.
PAGE 11
Continue to measure references until the number of references specified in the settings is reached. Once all reference measurements are taken, the device will calculate the average and set this value to 100% Measure samples in Color mode [CoL ] Position the FLUO with the aperture on a fluorescent surface. Push the device to the front and hold it there until the measurement result appears in the LCD. The measurement value of the currently selected color channel is displayed.
PAGE 12
The near UV intensity measurement is displayed with RGB LED flashing. The far intensity is displayed with FUV LED flashing. Underflow and Overflow measurements The FLUO automatically checks the validity of measurement results and displays a warning in case of invalid measurement: Underflow An underflow occurs when the measurement resolution is too low. This can occur when the fluorescence of the sample is extremely low. In this case the FLUO displays uF in the proper measurement channel.

Replacing the batteries The FLUO is powered by two 1.5V AA alkaline batteries.
