Be sure to use this instrument properly. Use of this instrument in ways other than those specied in this manual may result in risk of injury, electric shock, instr ument damage, or other problems.

Operating Environment

• Use the CM-5 at an ambient temperature between 13°C and 33°C and relative humidity 80% or less (at 35°C) with no condensation. Be sure to use the instrument within this range. Do not use it in areas of rapid temperature changes.

• Do not leave the CM-5 in direct sunlight or near sources of heat, such as stoves etc. The internal temperature of the instrument may become much higher than the ambient temperature in such cases.

• Do not use the CM-5 in areas where dust, cigarette smoke or chemical gases are present. Doing so may cause deterioration in performance or a breakdown.

• Do not use the CM-5 near equipment which produces a strong magnetic eld (such as speakers etc.).

• The CM-5 belongs to installation category I products (equipment which is powered by an AC adapter connected to commercially available power).

• The CM-5 belongs to pollution level 2 products (equipment which may cause temporary electrical hazards due to contamination or condensation or products which are used in such an environment).

• Do not use the CM-5 at altitudes higher than 2,000 m.

• The CM-5 and the AC adapter supplied as a standard accessor y have been designed exclusively for indoor use. They should never be used outdoors because rain or other factors may damage the instr ument.

Measurement

• Make sure no dirt or dust get into the specimen measuring port.

• Use a blower to remove dust and dirt from the shutter before using the instrument after a long period of disuse.

• When using the instrument for long periods of time, the measurement 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 Plate

There are two types of white calibration plate for use with this instrument: the built-in White Calibration Plate inside the shutter and an external White Calibration Plate as an optional accessory.

• The calibration data for the White Calibration Plate 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 (optional accessory) to get scratched or stained, or get ngerprints on it.

• When the White Calibration Plate (optional accessory) is not in use, be sure to close the cap so that the White Calibration Plate is not exposed to ambient light.

Target Mask

There are three types of Target Masks for use with this instrument: the standard ø30 mm mask, and optional ø3 mm and ø8 mm masks.

• The ø30 mm Target Mask must be used in combination with the instrument that bears the same pairing numbe r.

• 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 packing used for shipment or in the optional accessory case so that they will not be exposed to ambient light.

Page 5

Power Source

• Make sure that the power switch is set to OFF (“”) when the CM-5 is not in use.

• This instrument can be powered from the AC adapter (AC-A305).

• 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%).

• Do not connect the AC adapter to an overloaded electrical circuit. In addition, do not wrap or cover the AC

adapter with cloth or other material while in use. Doing so may cause an electric shock or re.

System

• Do not subject the CM-5 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.

• The CM-5 may cause interference if used near a television, radio, etc.

• When the instr ument 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 tur ning 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 instr ument, and can retain the contents of the memory for three 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. The backup battery is fully charged in 72 hours

while the instrument is switched on, and there is no danger of overcharging.

• It is recommended to keep a backup of your important data on another recording medium using the optional

Color Management Software SpectraMagic™ NX (CM-S100w).

Page 6

Notes on Storage

• The CM-5 should be stored at temperatures between 0°C and 40°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-5 with a drying agent at a temperature around 20°C.

• Do not leave the CM-5 inside a car such as in the cabinet or tr unk. 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-5. This protects the instrument from sudden changes in temperature, vibration, and shock.

• Do not store the CM-5 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 close the transmittance specimen chamber and cover the instrument with the supplied Dust Cover to prevent the entry of dust into the integrating sphere.

• The White Calibration Plate (optional accessory) may become discolored if left exposed to light. Therefore, make sure to close the cap when it is not in use so that the White Calibration Plate is not exposed to ambient light during storage.

• 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

et c.).

Notes on Cleaning

• If the CM-5 becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, clean dry cloth.Never use solvents such as thinner or benzene.

• If the White Calibration Plate (optional accessory) becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, clean dry cloth.If dirt is

difcult to remove, wipe it off with a cloth dampened with commercially-available 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, the inside of the integrating sphere , or the built-in White Calibration

Plate get dirty, contact a KONICA MINOLTA-authorized service facility.

• Should the CM-5 break down, do not try to disassemble and repair it by yourself. Contact a KONICA MINOLTA-authorized service facility.

(for Mini Petri Dish) does not get scratched or stained, or get ngerprints on it. If it becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, clean dry cloth. If dirt is dif cult to remove, wipe it off with a cloth dampened with commercially-available cleaning solution. Then

remove the solution with a cloth dampened with water and allow the plate to dry. If the scratch or stain cannot be removed, replace the Petri Dish, Mini Petri Dish, Calibration Glass (for Petri Dish), or the Calibration Glass (for Mini Petri Dish).

Notes

When the Zero Calibration Box is not in use, be sure to attach the cap to prevent the entry of dust. If dust enters the box, blow

it off with a commercially-available blower. Be careful that the inner surface of the Zero Calibration Box (black-coated side) does not get scratched or stained. If the

scratch or stain cannot be removed, replace the Zero Calibration Box.

Notes

The White Calibration Plate (optional accessory) may become discolored if left exposed to light. Therefore, make sure to close the cap when it is not in use so that the W hite Calibration Plate is not exposed to ambient light.

Do not allow the White Calibration Plate (optional accessory) to get scratched or stained, or get ngerprints on it. If it becomes dirt y, wipe it with a soft, clean dry cloth. If dirt is difcult to remove, wipe it off with a cloth dampened with commercially-available cleaning solution. Then remove the solution with a cloth dampened with water, and leave the plate to

dry. If the scratch or st ain cannot be removed, replace the White Calibration Plate. When you replace the White Calibration Plate (optional accessory), use the data of the new White Calibration Plate to overwrite the white calibration data stored in the instrument as user calibration data.

Notes

• Do not spill a specimen or other liquid on the instrument. Doing so may cause malfunction. If any liquid is spilled on the instrument, wipe it off immediately with a soft, dry cloth.

• Limit the thickness of a specimen to be set on the Transmittance Specimen Holder (optical path length) to 22.5

mm. (The total thickness of the Cell (20 mm) or Plastic Cell (20 mm) and the glass will be 22.5 mm.) Using a

specimen or container exceeding this thickness may cause damage.

• To move the position of a specimen after it is set in the Transmittance Specimen Holder, open the specimen

xing plate beforehand to protect the surface of a specimen or the container of a specimen.

1. Open the Transmittance Specimen Chamber Cover.

2. As shown in the gure, align the mounting screw of the Transmittance Specimen Holder with the screw hole on the instrument for mounting the holder and tighten the

screw with a at-blade screwdriver.

Memo

Although the Transmittance Specimen Holder can be attached facing either the illumination window side or the receiving window side, attach it facing the illumination window side for normal use. In this case, the geometry will

be diffuse illumination and 0° viewing angle (di: 0°, de: 0°). If the Transmittance Specimen Holder is attached

facing the receiving window side, the geometry is

approximately 0°:0° geometry. Although the geometry does not strictly satisfy standards for 0°:0° geometry, this

presents no problems if the values are used as relative values.

To attach the holder with the sample or cell on the

receiving window side, attach the CM-A199 Transmittance

Specimen Holder Attachment before the holder.

Notes

• As for the container for a liquid specimen, it is recommended to use the CM-A97 to 99 Cell or CM-A130 to 132 Plastic Cell provided as the optional accessor y. To use other cont ainers, use a colorless, transparent container with surfaces which are parallel with the illumination window and receiving window of the instr ument.

• The Cell is fragile and it must be handled with care.

• Do not pour hot liquid in the Cell or Plastic Cell, and do not wash them with hot water.

• W hen cleaning the Cell or Plastic Cell with an ult rasonic cleaner, do not clean them for a long time to prevent damage.

• The measurement values obtained with cells having different optical path lengths may not be compatible with each ot her.

• Do not spill a specimen or other liquid on the instrument. Doing so may cause malfunction. If any liquid is spilled on the instrument, wipe it off immediately with a soft, dry cloth.

• Do not measure inammable liquid.

• Ensure that there are no dust, stains, scratches, or nger prints on the specimen or on the inner and outer surfaces of the container of a liquid specimen. Set a specimen by holding a section other than the measurement su rface to

avoid ngerprints.

• Bubbles in the container containing a liquid specimen prevent accurate measurement. Be sure to remove bubbles before measurement. (Sometimes bubbles may be generated when a specimen is left for a while.)

• Water drops formed on a specimen or the container containing a liquid specimen due to condensation or other causes prevent accurate measurement.

• The measurement accuracy for liquid containing ne par ticles may be unstable due to the deposition of the particles.

Calibration

Zero Calibration (0% Calibration)

Since the CM-5 stores the data of the zero calibration (0% Calibration) performed at the factory, it is unnecessary to repeat the zero calibration (0% Calibration) every time you turn ON the instrument. If, however, the measurement conditions change greatly, or if the optional Target Mask (ø8 mm or ø3 mm), Petri Dish, Mini Petri Dish, or Cell is used, you need to perform zero calibration (0% Calibration) before white calibration (100%

Calibration).

Memo

Notes

• The effects of stray light (i.e. light generated due to the are character istics of the optical system) will be compensated for automatically by the zero calibration (0% Calibration) data.

• The amount of st ray 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

(0% Calibration) periodically is recommended.

• If the inst rument is not used for long periods of time, the zero calibration (0% Calibration) data stored in the instrument may be lost. If the data is lost, zero calibration (0% Calibration) must be performed again.

• If you performed zero calibration (0% Calibration) using the optional Target Mask (ø8 mm or ø3 mm), Petri Dish or Cell, you must perform zero calibration (0% Calibration) again before conducting measurement using the

standard Target Mask.
