Datacolor Conditioner is a conditioning cabinet that enables color facilities with variable environmental conditions to achieve highly reproducible color assessments.
Datacolor Conditioner ensures that samples are quickly and accurately conditioned at a fixed temperature and relative humidity prior to measurement with a spectrophotometer. Samples can also be conditioned to light using the optional daylight illumination module.
Benefits of Datacolor Conditioner:
Efficient process – Sample conditioning in just five to ten minutes, with the unit holding up to forty samples with lighting or up to one hundred samples without lighting.
Meet global supply chain requirements – Conformance to ASTM D1776 and ISO 139 standards for conditioning textile samples.
Precision controls – Temperature control with precision of +/-0.2º C and humidity control with maximum variation of +/- 2% rH. The optional external water tank and deionized filtration system provide additional reliability.
Ease of operation – Quickly and easily select the appropriate conditioning set points with the intuitive controller interface. Sealed inner glass door enables viewing of samples location for rapid sample removal and minimal disruption to conditioning.

General Environment
Ambient temperature range during operation: 18°C (64.4°F) – 32°C (89.6°F).
Ambient humidity: 70% RH max. non-condensing
The unit should be installed out of the direct line of any air-conditioning airflow and in a dust-free environment.
The unit should be installed with at least 100mm (3.9”) from rear wall and above the unit spacing, side spacing at 160mm (6.29”).
Power
Power 220 V, +/- 10 %, 50/60 Hz. Single phase, 3 wire (live, earth and neutral). 2 KW required.
Water Supply
Fresh water supply pressure 1 bar to 10 bar (13-145 psi) regulated
Deionized (demineralized) water with a conductivity of 1µS/cm to 20µS/cm
The water intake temperature must not exceed 40°C or be below +5°C
Gravity drain
For installation where deionized (demineralized) water cannot be supplied we offer:
* 2 optional 20 L water tanks: 1 supply tank and 1 drain tank for collecting waste water
* An optional deionizing filtration system, Pure Aqua Service with digital filter monitoring
Consistent color assessment anywhere with the Datacolor Conditioner
Confidence + flexibility. The Datacolor difference.
No matter what instrument you use, your samples must be properly prepared for measurements to be accurate. Measurements need to be consistent and reproducible. This requires that every possible variable in the process be controlled, such as humidity, temperature and sometimes even the lighting.
With the compact, easy to use Datacolor Conditioner, your color labs and offices can be confident that the measured samples will be consistent with each other – anywhere in the world. A constant gentle air circulation throughout the chamber with the APT.Line™ technology ensures homogeneous sample conditioning throughout the cabinet. Your colorists can condition up to one hundred samples within five to ten minutes.
Talk to a color expert today to see if the Datacolor Conditioner is right for your lab.
The importance of sample conditioning in digital color communication cannot be understated.
Sample condition is a key element for measurement repeatability.
Variations in sample temperature and moisture control content can contribute to variations in measurement data, but not all fabrics and colors respond in the same way to these environmental variations.
“I have known and worked with Datacolor for almost 25 years…and we as a company are fully satisfied. It is a testament to what can be accomplished if everyone works together as a team, regardless which country or continent they are in.”
