1 INTRODUCTION

Important information: Read the manual carefully before using the device.
Inappropriate utilization may cause damage to the device, to the DUT (device under test), and/or other
components of your setup.
Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future user.
1.1

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:

•
RoHS 2 - 2011/65/EU
•
Low Voltage - 2014/35/EU
1.2

Intended use

The integrating sphere is designed as a calibration light source based on iQ-LED technology for wide
field of view cameras. It includes a micro spectrometer and is controlled with the iQ-LED control
software or via dip switches when not connected to a PC.
•
Only suitable for indoor use.
•
Place your system in a dry, constant tempered environment without light interference.
•
The optimal ambient temperature range is 22 to 26 degrees Celsius. The maximum
ambient temperature range is 18 to 28 degrees Celsius.
•
The optimal system temperature range, displayed in the software user interface, is
between 35 and 50 degrees Celsius. The system has internal temperature
management, if there is any error regarding the internal temperature, you will get a
warning message, and the system will automatically shut off to avoid any damage.

1.2.1 Departing from described setup

The following steps must be performed in the correct chronology to allow smooth commissioning.
Departing from the chronology may lead to an incorrect working device.
1. Install the iQ-LED software
2. Connect CAL3 to power and via USB to the PC
3. Switch CAL3 on; the system drivers will now be installed
4. After drivers are installed completely, start the software
