Page 4: Introduction
Keep all packing materials (cardboard box, cushioning material, plastic bags, etc.) in a safe place. The CM-3600A is a precision measuring instrument. They can be used to protect the instrument from impact and vibration during shipment to Konica Minolta for maintenance. -
Page 5: Notes On Use
Power Source • Make sure that the power switch is set to OFF (" I ") when the CM-3600A is not in use. • Always use the AC adapter supplied as a standard accessory (AC-A308) and connect it to an AC outlet of the rated voltage and frequency. - Page 6 • The specimen measuring port and integrating sphere are extremely precise components, and great care should be taken to prevent them getting dirty or exposing them to impacts. When the CM-3600A is not in use, be sure to attach a target mask to the measuring port to prevent entry of foreign matter.

⿎ Target Mask Since the CM-3600A has no target mask detection function, it is not possible for the instrument to determine which target mask has been attached. Thus, when switching from one target mask to another, be sure that the intended target mask is attached and the instrument is properly set from the software. -
Page 34: Overview Of Simultaneous Measurement Of Sci/Sce
SCE need to be switched. In addition, it is not possible to start measurement until switching is completed. The CM-3600A has eliminated mechanical switching and enables acquisition of SCI and SCE data by performing calculations with the measured data obtained using two light sources. -
Page 35: Fluorescent Measurement
⿎ WHEN FLUORESCENT CALIBRATION IS NOT PERFORMED The UV full xenon lamp of the CM-3600A has a spectral distribution similar to that of the D65 light source. Therefore, when high-accuracy fluorescent measurements are not required, normal measurement of reflectance can be used to measure fluorescent reflectance. -
