Foreword

Thank you for purchasing the Display Color Analyzer CA-310. This instrument is designed for measurement of
color and luminance of various types of color displays with LED Universal Measuring Probe or color, luminance and
flicker of color LCD displays with LED Flicker Measuring Probe. Before using this instrument, please read this
manual thoroughly.

Notes on Use

●
This instrument is designed for indoor use only, and should not be used outside.
●
The instrument must never be disassembled as it is composed of precision electric components.
●
Always use the rated power voltage. Connect the AC power cord (for 100-120 V or for 200-240 V) to an AC
outlet. Make sure that main supply voltage fluctuates up to ±10 % of the nominal voltage.
●
This instrument is classified as Pollution Degree 2(equipment which may cause temporary electrical hazards
due to contamination or condensation, or products which are used in such an environment).
●
Do not use the instrument at altitudes of higher than 2000 m.
●
The instrument must not be used if foreign matter such as water and metal objects enter it, doing so is very
dangerous.
●
The instrument should not be used in certain environments, such as near a heater which will cause an excessive
rise in its temperature resulting in breakdown. It should be used in well-ventilated areas, and care should be
taken not to allow the vent holes to become blocked.
●
The instrument must not be used in areas subject to rapid changes of temperature, to avoid condensation.
●
The instrument must not be used in areas where there is an excessive amount of dust or where the humidity is
excessively high.
●
The instrument should be used at ambient temperatures of between 10 and 28˚C and humidity of 70 % relative
humidity or less. Be aware that to use it beyond this condition may degrade the performance.
●
The instrument must not be exposed to excessive impact and vibrations.
● The AC power cord must not be pulled or bent excessively nor must excessive force be exerted on it. Doing so
may result in wire breakage.
●
The AC power cord must not be connected to an AC line on which excessive noise is present.
●
The instrument and personal computer must be grounded.
●
If any irregularity or abnormality is found, turn OFF the power immediately, disconnect the AC power cord,
and refer to "Troubleshooting Guide" on page 107.
●
Should the instrument break down, do not try to disassemble by yourself. Contact a Konica Minolta - authorized
service facility.
●
Zero Calibration shall be made only after duration of 30 minutes or more passed since the power switch is
turned ON if the luminance of the display to be measured is the following.
1.0 cd/m 2 or less for LED Universal Measuring φ 27 Probe (CA-PU32, CA-PU35) / LED Flicker Measuring

●
Do not turn OFF the power when accessing to the memory such as calibrating or measuring.
●
The instruments may not operate properly because of interference from peripheral equipments. Please check
operation for yourself.
