Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future user. Conformity We, Image Engineering GmbH & Co. KG, hereby declare that the CAL3 corresponds to the essential requirements of the following EC directive in its current version: •...
1.2.2 USB connection Only an appropriate USB connection allows error-free operation of CAL3. Use delivered USB cables. If you need to extend the USB connection to longer distances, please check if powered hubs/repeaters are necessary. General safety information WARNING! Some LEDs emit invisible light in the IR and UV near range.
• Use the power button to turn on and off the light There are three pre-stored illuminants on your device (the intensity of each illuminant is shown in the acceptance protocol of your device): Image Engineering Seite 5 von 12...
Connecting the hardware 1. Connect the power cord to the power supply on the back of CAL3. 2. Connect the USB cable to the CAL3 and your PC. 3. Turn on the CAL3; the power switch is next to the power supply.
• Minimum lens depth: 10 mm Ensure: • Your DUT is as close as possible to the CAL3 opening • The lens is precisely in the middle of the diffuser • The front surface of the lens is at least 10 mm inside the diffuser •...
Positioning of DUT in front of CAL3 4 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SOFTWARE Requirements • PC with Windows 7 (or higher) operating system • One free USB port Software installation Install the iQ-LED control software before connecting the hardware. Follow the setup instruction from the iQ-LED control software manual.
Image Engineering support team. 4.3.2 iQ-LED calibration The individual LED lights of the iQ-LED inside the CAL3 depend on many different types and wavelengths. Some LEDs will change their intensity level and peak wavelength slightly in the first 500- 600 working hours because of a burn-in effect.
The light intensity will continue to get lower when the influence of the noise continues to get higher. When using standard illuminants with an intensity lower than 25 lux, it will no longer be possible to get a correct value. Image Engineering Seite 10 von 12...
Image Engineering. Please send the complete device to Image Engineering. Pack the CAL3 with a notation for calibration in the hard case from its delivery. Please contact support@image-engineering.de for conditions and procedures. After calibrating the spectrometer, perform a spectral calibration (iQ-LED calibration).
