GENERAL TECHNICAL DATA:
Software Windows® PC software: GLOSS-Scope
Voltage supply +24VDC (± 10%), reversed polarity protected, overload protected
Current consumption <100mA
Max. switching current 100mA, short-circuit proof
Measurement geometry Standard measurement angles:
► 20°:  For high-gloss surfaces
A 20° gloss sensor is used if gloss grades >70GU are to be determined. That is, if the gloss grade measured with a 60° gloss meter is >70GU, a 20° gloss sensor is used.
► 45°:  TAPPI standard (paper industry) for glossy surfaces
► 60°:  For semi-gloss surfaces
A 60° gloss sensor is used if gloss grades >10GU and <70GU are to be determined.
This variant is an "all-rounder". The 60° gloss sensor is therefore standard for most applications.

► 75°: TAPPI standard (paper industry) for matt surfaces
► 85°: For matt surfaces
An 85° gloss sensor is used when gloss grades <10GU are to be determined. That is, if the gloss grade measured with a 60° gloss meter is <10GU, an 85° gloss sensor is used.
