Konica Minolta CM-3700A-U Plus spectrophotometer

Basic Equipment Information

（1） Equipment Introduction

CM-3700A-U Plus is a reflective high-precision fixed spectrophotometer developed specifically for measuring color and color difference in various industrial fields, meeting the high-precision requirements for color quality control in industrial production.

（2） Packaging and Protection

It is necessary to properly store all packaging materials (cardboard boxes, cushioning materials, plastic bags, etc.) used during equipment transportation. As the equipment is a precision measuring instrument, these materials are needed to reduce vibration and impact during subsequent maintenance and transportation; If the packaging materials are lost or damaged, please contact an authorized service agency.

When the equipment leaves the factory, the target mask is not installed at the target mask installation location, but a protective cover is installed to protect the sample measurement component (integrating ball opening). Before use, the protective cover must be removed, and during transportation, the protective cover must be installed. At the same time, the protective cover that comes with the equipment should be stored and used properly.

Precautions for use

（1） Operating environment

The equipment should be installed and used in an environment with an ambient temperature of 13-33 ° C, a relative humidity of ≤ 80% (at 33 ° C), and no condensation. Exceeding this range will affect the performance of the equipment.

The equipment and standard AC adapter (AC-A312F) are only designed for indoor use and are prohibited from outdoor use to prevent damage to the equipment due to factors such as rainwater.

The equipment is composed of precision electronic components, and disassembly or modification is prohibited as it may cause accidents such as malfunctions, electric shock, and fires; The equipment belongs to the second level pollution level product and is suitable for use in manufacturing environments, laboratories, warehouses, and other places that are not easily exposed to metal dust and condensed water; Simultaneously belonging to Class I overvoltage category products, they need to be connected to circuits that take measures to limit transient overvoltage to a lower level.

Prevent foreign objects from entering the equipment, and use extremely dangerous when the equipment comes into contact with water or metal; Avoid exposing the equipment to direct sunlight or near heating devices to prevent malfunctions caused by high internal temperatures; Avoid equipment experiencing drastic temperature changes and condensation; Prohibit the use of equipment in environments with high dust, smoke, chemical gases, or extreme humidity; The equipment should not be used at an altitude exceeding 2000 meters; Avoid using equipment near strong magnetic fields, such as speakers.

（2） System related

Prevent equipment from experiencing strong vibrations or impacts; Do not pull, forcefully bend, or apply excessive pressure to the connected cables to prevent cable breakage.

The sample measurement port and the interior of the integrating sphere of the equipment are high-precision components of the optical system, which need to be kept clean to avoid impact. When the equipment is not in use, a target mask should be installed and the sample measurement port should be covered.

The equipment and adapter belong to Class B EMC products, which may cause radio interference when used in a home environment. Users need to take appropriate measures to solve this problem; When the device encounters strong external static electricity, the display screen may go black or display abnormally, and communication with external devices may also be interrupted. At this time, the power needs to be turned off and restarted, and when restarting, wait a few seconds after turning off the power before restarting.

The device should be connected to a power source with as little noise as possible; The equipment complies with the "Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control, and Laboratory Use - Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Requirements - Part 1: General Requirements" (EU Harmonized Standard EN 61326-1:2021), and the consistency verification is conducted under the testing conditions of Konica Minolta in the industrial electromagnetic environment specified in the relevant Harmonized Standard. The performance degradation limit caused by continuous interference in the anti-interference test does not exceed 4 times the Konica Minolta repeatability specification (Δ E * ab).

When the device malfunctions or behaves abnormally, immediately turn off the power, disconnect the adapter plug, and refer to "Troubleshooting" (page 29); When the equipment malfunctions, it is prohibited to disassemble and repair it on your own, and authorized service agencies must be contacted.

（3） Measurement related

Ensure that there is no dust or dirt entering the opening of the device; After long-term use of the equipment, measurement values may deviate due to environmental factors. To ensure measurement accuracy, it is recommended to perform regular white calibration.
