• The CM-700d/600d and the AC adapter supplied as a standard accessory have been designed exclusively for indoor use. They should never be used outdoors because rain or other factors may damage the instrument.

Measurement

• When using the instrument upside-down, make sure no dirt or dust get into the specimen measuring port.

• When using the instrument for long periods of time, the displayed value may change depending on changes in the environment. Therefore, in order to achieve accurate measurements, we recommend that white calibration be done regularly using the White Calibration Cap.

White Calibration Cap

• The White Calibration Cap must be used in combination with the instrument that bears the same pairing number.

•

The calibration data for the White Calibration Plate attached to the White Calibration Cap was measured at 23°C. To achieve the highest accuracy when measuring absolute values (colorimetric values), calibration and measurement should be performed at 23°C.

• Do not allow the White Calibration Plate to get scratched or stained.

• When not using the White Calibration Cap, invert it so that the White Calibration Plate is not exposed to ambient light.

• When the White Calibration Cap is attached to the instrument, do not hold on to the White Calibration Cap to move the instrument. The cap may become detached from the instrument, causing the instrument to fall and become damaged.

Target Mask

• Do not touch the Target Mask’s inner surface by hand, scratch it or make it dirty.

• When not in use, Target Masks should be stored in the cardboard box used for shipment or in the optional hard case so that they will not be exposed to ambient light.

E-2

Power Source

• Make sure that the power switch is set to OFF (“ ”) when the CM-700d/600d is not in use.

• The CM-700d/600d can be powered from either the AC adapter (AC-A305) or AA-size alkaline or nickelmetal-hydride rechargeable batteries. Note, however, that you cannot use this AC adapter to charge the nickelmetal-hydride rechargeable batteries installed in the instrument.

• Always use the AC adapter supplied as a standard accessory (AC-A305) and connect it to an AC outlet of the rated voltage and frequency. Use an AC power supply of the rated supply voltage (within ±10%).

System

• Do not subject the CM-700d/600d to strong impact or vibration. Doing so may cause deterioration in performance or a breakdown.

• Since the specimen measuring port and integrating sphere are extremely precise optical components, great care should be taken to prevent them getting dirty or exposing them to impact.

• When not in use, the instrument must be stored with the White Calibration Cap being attached.

• The CM-700d/600d may cause interference if used near a television, radio, etc.

• When the instrument is exposed to strong external static electricity, the LCD may go blank or the measurement result may not be displayed properly. If the instrument is communicating with an external device, the communication may be interrupted. In these cases, turn the power OFF and then turn it ON again. If black smudges appear on the LCD, wait until they disappear naturally.

• When turning the power OFF and then ON again, wait several seconds after turning the power OFF.

Backup Battery

• Measured data and various settings are stored in the memory backed up by batteries. The backup batteries are automatically charged during operation of this instrument, and can retain the contents of the memory for 5 months if they have been fully charged. At the time of purchase, the backup battery may not be fully charged. To charge the backup battery, set the power switch to ON. Charging of the backup battery is performed continuously while the instrument is switched on, even while the instrument is being used. Full charging is completed in 24 hours, and there is no danger of overcharging.

Notes on Storage

• The CM-700d/600d should be stored at temperatures between 0°C and 45°C, and at a relative humidity of 80% or less (35°C) without condensation. Do not store the instrument in areas subject to high temperatures, high humidity, sudden changes in temperature, or where freezing or condensation may occur, because these circumstances may cause a breakdown. It is recommended to store the CM-700d/600d with a drying agent (such as silica gel) at a temperature around 20°C.

• Do not leave the CM-700d/600d inside a car such as in the cabinet or trunk. Otherwise, the temperature and/ or humidity may exceed the allowable range for storage during midsummer or midwinter, resulting in a breakdown.

• Keep the packing materials used for shipment and use them to transport the CM-700d/600d. This protects the instrument from sudden changes in temperature, vibration, and shock.

• Do not store the CM-700d/600d in areas where dust, cigarette smoke or chemical gases are present. Doing so may cause deterioration in performance or a breakdown.

• Entry of dust into the specimen measuring port will hinder accurate measurement. When the instrument is not in use, you must attach the White Calibration Cap to the instrument to prevent the entry of dust into the integrating sphere through the specimen measuring port.

E-3

• The White Calibration Plate attached to the White Calibration Cap may become discolored if left exposed to light. Therefore, make sure that the cap is inverted when it is not in use so that the White Calibration Plate is not exposed to ambient light.

• The Target Masks may discolor if they are left exposed to light. When they are not in use, keep them in a safe place to prevent exposure to light and to protect them from scratches and dust.

• Be sure to keep all packing materials (cardboard box, cushioning material, plastic bags, etc.). They can be used to protect the instrument during transportation to the service facility for maintenance (re-calibration etc.).

• If you are not going to use the CM-700d/600d for more than two weeks, the batteries must be removed. If the batteries are left in the instrument, battery electrolyte may leak and damage the instrument.

Notes on Cleaning

• If the CM-700d/600d becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, clean dry cloth. Never use solvents such as thinner or benzene.

• If the White Calibration Plate attached to the White Calibration Cap becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a soft, clean and dry cloth. If dirt is difficult to remove, wipe it off with a cloth dampened with commerciallyavailable lens cleaning solution. Then remove the solution with a cloth dampened with water, and leave the plate to dry.

• If the inner surface of the Target Masks or the inside of the integrating sphere get dirty, contact a KONICA MINOLTA SENSING-authorized service facility.

• Should the CM-700d/600d break down, do not try to disassemble and repair it by yourself. Contact a KONICA MINOLTA SENSING-authorized service facility.

Battery Alarm

The CM-700d/600d can be powered from the standard AC adapter (AC-A305) or AA-size alkaline or nickel-metal-hydride rechargeable batteries. When the instrument is used with batteries, two types of battery alarm indication will appear when battery power level is low. When the battery power is sufficient, no battery alarm indication is displayed.

(Low battery indication) When this indication appears, new batteries or the AC adapter should be prepared in the near future. Even with this indication displayed, measurements are still possible.

If you continue using the instrument with the low battery indication being displayed, ER002 (low battery voltage error) is displayed. When this error is displayed, replace the batteries immediately with new ones or connect the AC adapter.

Data Saving

Data used with this instrument are saved automatically. The white calibration data stored in the internal memory after you perform white calibration is retained even after the instrument is turned off.

Pairing Number

In addition to individual serial numbers, the instrument and White Calibration Cap bear 5-digit numbers called “pairing number”. Before starting white calibration, confirm that the instrument and White Calibration Cap have the same pairing number.

Calibration

Zero Calibration

Since the CM-700d/600d stores the data of the zero calibration performed at the factory, it is unnecessary to repeat the zero calibration every time you turn ON the instrument. However, if the measurement conditions change greatly, or if you use the optional dust cover set or Target Mask you need to perform zero calibration before white calibration.

emo

• The effects of stray light inside the measuring part (i.e. light generated due to the flare characteristics of the optical system) will be compensated for automatically by the zero calibration data.

• The amount of stray light may change because of dust or dirt which has collected in the optical system, humidity, repeated operation, or vibration and shock exerted on the instrument. In this case, performing zero calibration periodically is recommended.

• When I + E (SCI + SCE) is specified as the specular component mode (refer to page E-43 “Mode”), clicks caused by opening and closing the optical trap may be heard during the measurement.

Note

• If the instrument is not used for long periods of time, the zero calibration data stored in the instrument may be lost. If the data is lost, zero calibration must be performed again.

• When the instrument is used for the first time after purchase at a given measurement area setting (MAV or SAV; SAV is available on CM-700d only), zero calibration must be performed.

• If you performed zero calibration using the optional dust cover set or Target Mask must perform zero calibration again before starting measurement using the standard Target Mask.

Calibration

Use the button of the cross key to move the

cursor to “Zero Cal.”

Direct the specimen measuring port to midair.

• Do not direct the specimen measuring port toward a light

source (including illumination such as a fluorescent lamp).

• Keep the specimen measuring port more than 1 m away

from any reflective items (hands, desks, walls etc.).

emo

Use of the optional Zero Calibration Box CM-A182 ensures proper zero calibration.

Make sure that (Ready to measure) is

displayed or Ready lamp is green, and then press the measuring button.

Zero calibration will be performed.

The Xe lamp flashes five times for each SCI and SCE

measurement.

During zero calibration, the screen shows the number of

flashes performed.

E-28

When zero calibration is finished, the screen returns to the

<Calibration> screen.

emo

When the screen is turned OFF by the power save function, press any of the measuring or control buttons to turn ON the screen, confirm that (Ready to measure) is displayed or Ready lamp is green, and then press the measuring button.

Note

• After zero calibration finished, perform white calibration. Go to step 3 of “White Calibration” on page E-29.

• Even though you performed white calibration after turning ON the power, you need to perform it again if you performed zero calibration after the first white calibration.

Calibration

White Calibration

White calibration must be performed prior to start of measurement after the power is turned ON for the first time after purchase at the current settings. When white calibration finishes, <white calibration completed icon> is displayed. Once white calibration is completed, measurement is possible without white calibration when the instrument is turned ON the next time. However, the measurement result is not accurate.

emo

• The calibration data for the White Calibration Cap supplied with the instrument are stored in the instrument.

• Although the white calibration results stored in the internal memory are retained even after the instrument is turned off, it is recommended that you repeat white calibration each time you switch the power back on.

• The reading may fluctuate slightly due to changes in the ambient temperature or due to heat generation caused by repeated operation of the instrument. In this case, make sure to perform white calibration regularly.

• When I + E (SCI + SCE) is specified as the specular component mode (refer to page E-43 “Mode”), clicks caused by opening and closing the optical trap may be heard during the measurement.

Note

• White calibration must be performed at the same temperature as the one at which measurement will be performed.

• Before starting white calibration, make sure that the instrument is sufficiently acclimatized to the ambient temperature.

• Whenever the measurement area setting has been changed between MAV and SAV, white calibration must be performed.

[Setting Procedure]

Confirm the type of attached target mask and the setting of the measurement area

selector of the instrument.

Turn the instrument ON.

The <Calibration> screen is displayed.

Note

• If a different screen is displayed, press the [CAL] button.

emo

• The <Calibration> screen shows two items: “Zero Cal.” and “White Cal.” The date of the last calibration is displayed under each item. If no calibration has been performed yet, “None” is displayed.

• Under “White Cal.”, the serial number of the White Calibration Cap to be used for the instrument is displayed.

If necessary, use the button of the cross

key to move the cursor to “White Cal.”

E-29

Calibration

Properly attach the White Calibration Cap,

which has the same pairing number as the instrument.

Make sure that (Ready to measure) is

displayed or Ready lamp is green, and then press the measuring button.

White calibration will be performed.

The Xe lamp flashes five times for each SCI and SCE

measurement.

During white calibration, the screen shows the number of

flashes performed.

When white calibration finishes, the screen returns to the

<Calibration> screen.

Note

The instrument contains the data for the White Calibration Cap which has the same pairing number. Therefore, you must use the instrument and corresponding White Calibration Cap for white calibration.

emo

• If you change the measurement area or change the specular component mode from a setting other than “I + E” after white calibration, you must perform white calibration under the changed conditions.

• If you performed white calibration in “I + E” mode and then switched the mode to “SCI” or “SCE”, it is considered that white calibration has been completed and you do not need to repeat it.

• When the screen is turned OFF by the power save function, press any of the measuring or control buttons to turn ON the screen, confirm that (Ready to measure) is displayed or Ready lamp is green, and then press the measuring button.

E-30

Color Difference Target Color Data Operation

Setting a Target Color

To measure the color difference between two specimens, the color of one of the specimens must be set as the target color. The CM-700d/600d can store up to 1,000 target colors. When using the instrument alone, measure a target specimen by following the procedure below and set the result as the target color.

emo

• Target colors are stored with setting numbers from 0001 to 1000 being assigned. Even when the data at some midpoint is deleted, these setting numbers do not change. It is useful to group data by assigning numbers of specific digits.

• The color difference tolerances used for pass/fail judgment are generally set for each target color. Consequently, you can set the tolerances using the menu of a target color.

• To set more accurate target color data, use averaging to measure the target specimen. For details, refer to “Average Measurement” on page E-88.

Note

• Be sure to perform white calibration before setting target colors.

• To ensure measurement accuracy, make sure to keep ambient conditions (temperature, etc.) constant.

Average Measurement

When taking measurements or setting target colors, more accurate data can be obtained if the averaging function is used. With the CM-700d/600d, the following two averaging functions are available.

• Manual Averaging : When the color of the specimen is not uniform, measurements are performed at different positions on the specimen and then the average of the measured spectral reflectance data is calculated. This gives the average data of the entire specimen.

• Auto Averaging : The specified number of measurements are repeated at the same position on the specimen and then the average of the measured spectral reflectance data is calculated. This will improve the accuracy of the measured data.

These two functions can also be used in combination. In this case, it is necessary to make settings for both auto and manual averaging. For details, refer to page E-45 “Auto Averaging (Auto Ave.)” and page E-46 “Manual Averaging (Manual Ave.)”.

Note

For average measurement, the average of the measured spectral reflectance data is calculated first, then colorimetric data is calculated based on that calculated average. Thus, the result may not match the average of the measured colorimetric data.

Manual Averaging

This method is used when the color of the specimen is not uniform. Measurements are performed at different positions on the specimen and then the average of the measured spectral reflectance data is calculated, to obtain the average data of the entire specimen.

Note

Before using manual averaging, you must complete the settings for manual averaging. For details, refer to page E-46 “Manual Averaging (Manual Ave.)”.

[Setting Procedure]

Press the [SAMPLE] button.

The <Sample> screen is displayed.

screen.

Note

If you cancel measurement before the measurement is repeated for the specified number, the measured value is not displayed.

E-90

Pass/Fail Judgment for Color Difference

You can set tolerances for the color difference of the measured data from the target color data to make pass/fail judgment. The CM-700d/600d uses box tolerances for judgment. The tolerances can also be set for “Cond 01 to 08” on the <Option> screen. For details, refer to page E-50 “Tolerance (Box Tolerance) Setting”.

The pass/fail judgment will be based on the target color data of the number selected for measurement, and on either of the tolerances specified for the target color data or the tolerances set for “Cond 01 to 08”. If target color data is deleted, neither the color difference display for the data nor the pass/fail judgment based on the tolerances set to the data will be performed. Even if other target color data is selected, recalculations and pass/fail judgments will not take place.

Pass/Fail Judgment Based on Tolerances

If the measured color difference is outside the tolerances set for the target color, the value will be highlighted in red to indicate that the judgment result is “Fail”. Both + and - tolerances can be set for each target color. To perform pass/fail judgment based on box tolerances, follow the procedure given below.

Note

Before using this function, you must set color difference tolerances.
