Important Information

The color display of CAPSURE Cosmetic has limited capabilities dependant on viewing

Getting Started

Installing the Software

The software that is included with your instrument must be installed before plugging the USB
cable into the computer. The software installs the required USB drivers for the instrument and
a Collections loader application.

on the CD.

2. The setup program guides you through the rest of the installation process. Follow the

instructions on each setup screen to complete the installation. When finished, remove the
CD and store in a safe location.

Before using your CAPSURE Cosmetic for the first time it is important that you charge the
battery. If these guidelines are not followed, the internal lithium-ion battery may experience a
shortened life.

CAPSURE Cosmetic User Manual

1. Install the software that accompanied the instrument if you have not already done so.

2. Connect the USB cable to the CAPSURE Cosmetic and your computer’s USB port. A battery

charging screen momentarily appears. For the first time connection, a language selection
screen also appears. Refer to the Initial Startup section on the following page for first time
operation.
Note: Some computers have low power USB ports which are typically located at the front. It
is recommended that CAPSURE Cosmetic is ONLY connected to high power ports.

During charging, the instrument switches on and indicates charging with a “lightning bolt” in
the battery icon. The CAPSURE Cosmetic will not power off while plugged into the computer
USB port.

A full charge from empty will take 6 hours connected to a computer USB port.

Battery Icon Information

This icon at the top of the screen would indicate the battery is fully charged.

This icon at the top of the screen would indicate the battery has a sufficient
charge for a substantial number of measurements.

This icon at the top of the screen would indicate the battery pack is low, but
measurements are still possible. Battery should be charged soon.

This icon momentarily appears in the center of the screen and at the top when
the instrument is connected to the computer, indicating the battery is charging.

The “lightning bolt” in the center of the icon at the top of the screen indicates the

Calibration

IMPORTANT: The calibration reference is dramatically affected by smudge marks and dust, and must

be kept clean. It is recommended that the instrument is cleaned regularly. Refer to the Cleaning
section later in this manual for procedure on cleaning the calibration reference and optics.

When your instrument is first turned on, you are asked to perform a calibration. Thereafter, a
calibration is required every hour or if a 5°C temperature change has occurred. Calibration of the
instrument ensures optimum color matching performance. If desired, a calibration can be manually
initiated by selecting Calibrate from the Settings menu.

The instrument includes an integrated white reference slider that protects the white reference when
not in use.

1. When displayed to do so, move the white reference slider to the closed/calibration position

over the optics.

2. Press Measure to initiate the calibration when the reference slider is positioned. A progress

bar appears at the bottom of the display to indicate the calibration status.

3. After a successful calibration, you are prompted to reposition the slider back to its storage

location before measuring samples.

Note: An error will be displayed if the white reference slider was not in the correct position for
calibration. If this occurs, close the slider and repeat the calibration process. After recalibration
this message continues, refer to Troubleshooting in the Appendices.

If at any time the instrument requests “Repeat Calibration” this is due to exceeding the current
temperature variation tolerance. Please recalibrate by initiating from the Settings menu.

CAPSURE Cosmetic User Manual

measurement. Refer below for additional information on the performance indicator.

Products such as tinted moisturisers are low opacity/coverage. They have a wider tolerance
of acceptance and may have a lower performance indicator.

Performance Indicator

After a match, the instrument displays 1, 2, or 3 colored bars in the title row of the display.
The bars indicate the performance of the match that was obtained. One “red” bar indicates
an ok match, two “yellow” bars indicate a better match, and three “green” bars indicate the
best match. No color bars would indicate no close match was found.

= Best match

= Better match

= Ok match

= No close match

The bars are for informational purpose only. Three “green” bars is the best possible match,
where as one “red” or two “yellow” bars indication basically informs you that instrument
made a suitable match. The fewer color bars on a measurement, the more likely color
differences will be noticed.

Sanitizing the Instrument before Measuring

After sanitizing your hands, carefully sanitize only the aperture area of the CAPSURE Cosmetic
that will touch the customer’s skin using an alcohol wipe. Avoid wiping the optics itself.

Alcohol wipe

Cleaning

The instrument should be stored with calibration slider in the closed position when not in use.

Do not immerse the instrument in liquid, and do not use anything other than a water­dampened cloth for cleaning the exterior.

The measurement optics and calibration plaque should be kept clean from dust and dirt for the
highest level of accuracy.

Cleaning the Optics

The optics are recessed and therefore protected from dirt during normal usage. However, if the
optics require cleaning, follow the procedure below.

IMPORTANT: If can air is used for cleaning, do not invert or tilt the can during use. This could
cause damage to the optics.

1. Carefully place your thumb over the optics opening and rotate the aperture 45°

counterclockwise.

Aperture rotated 45°

34
