Introduction

CM-23d is a spectrophotometers capable of measuring color and color differences in one measurement for use in
a variety of industrial fields.
Packing materials of the product
Be sure to keep all packing materials used for shipping the instrument (cardboard box, cushioning material,
plastic bags, etc.). This instrument is a precision measuring instrument. When transporting the instrument to a
service facility for maintenance or for other reasons, be sure to use the packing materials to minimize shock or
vibration. If the packing materials are lost or damaged, contact a KONICA MINOLTA-authorized service facility.
„ Notes on Use
Operating Environment
• The AC adapter supplied as a standard accessory (AC-A305J/L/M) has been designed exclusively for indoor use. Outdoor use
is prohibited.
• This instrument is composed of precision electronic components. Never disassemble the instrument.
• Always use the AC adapter supplied as a standard accessory (AC-A305J/L/M) and connect it to a 100 to 240 V
AC outlet. Use an AC power supply of the rated voltage (within ±10%).
• This instrument is a pollution level 2 product (equipment to be used primarily in manufacturing environments, laboratories,
warehouses, and similar locations). This instrument should be used in environments where exposure to metallic dust or
condensation is not a concern.
• This instrument is an overvoltage category I product (equipment for connection to circuits in which measures are taken to limit
transient overvoltage to an appropriately low level).
• Take care to prevent foreign matter from entering the instrument. Using the instrument while subjected to intrusion of water or
metals is extremely dangerous.
• Using the instrument in direct sunlight or near heating equipment can cause the internal temperature of the instrument to
become much higher than the ambient temperature, resulting in malfunction. Do not use the instrument in such areas.
• Avoid subjecting the instrument to sudden temperature changes and condensation.
• Do not use the instrument in areas where dust, smoke, or chemical gases are present, or in extremely humid environments.
• This instrument should be used in an environment with an ambient temperature between 5°C and 40°C and a relative humidity
of 80% or less (at 35°C) with no condensation. Use of the instrument outside this range will result in unsatisfactory performance.
• Do not use the instrument at altitudes higher than 2,000 m.
• Do not use the instrument near equipment that produces a strong magnetic field (such as speakers).
• To secure the instrument for use, make sure the instrument is firmly attached with no possibility of falling off. Failure to do so
may result in harm to the instrument or people and objects around the instrument.
System
• Do not subject the instrument to strong vibrations or impacts.
• Do not pull, forcibly bend, or apply excessive force to the connected cables and cords. Doing so may cause the cable or cord to
break.
• Do not allow the specimen measuring port of the instrument to become dirty or subject the aperture to impact. Place the
instrument on the calibration stage when not in use.
• This instrument and the AC adapter are EMC Class B products. Use of the instrument and the AC adapter in home environments
may cause radio interference. Users may be required to take appropriate measures in such cases.
• If the instrument is exposed to strong external static electricity, the LCD may go blank or fail to display information correctly.
Communication with a connected external device may also be interrupted. In such cases, turn the power OFF and then ON
again. If black smudges appear on the LCD, wait until they disappear naturally.
• When turning the power OFF and then ON again, wait several seconds after turning the power OFF before turning the power
ON again.
• The instrument should be connected to a power source with as little noise as possible.
• When a malfunction or abnormal behavior occurs, turn the power OFF immediately, disconnect the AC adapter plug from the
AC outlet, and refer to P.133 "Troubleshooting".
• Should the instrument break down, do not try to disassemble and repair the instrument. Contact a KONICA MINOLTA-
authorized service facility.
