Notes on Use
Operating Environment
• This instrument should be installed and used in an environment with an ambient temperature between 13°C
and 33°C and a relative humidity of 80% or less (at 33°C) with no condensation. Use of the instrument outside
this range will result in unsatisfactory performance.
• This instrument and the AC adapter supplied as a standard accessory (AC-A312F) have been designed
exclusively for indoor use. Outdoor use is prohibited due to the risk of damage to the instrument caused by rain
or other factors.
• This instrument is composed of precision electronic components. Never disassemble or modify the instrument
as doing so may cause malfunction, electric shock, fire, or other accident.
• 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.
• 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).
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.
• The instrument specimen measuring port and inside of the integrating sphere are particularly high-precision
components of the optical system. Do not allow them to become dirty or subject them to impact. In addition,
make sure to install the target mask and cover the specimen measuring port when the instrument is 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 display 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.
• When turning the power OFF and then ON again, wait several seconds after turning the power OFF before
turning the power back ON.
• 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 "Troubleshooting" P.35.
• Should the instrument break down, do not try to disassemble and repair the instrument. Contact a KONICA
MINOLTA-authorized service facility.
