KONICA MINOLTA authorized service facility.

Note on Use

Operating Environment

 The standard AC adapter (AC-A312) of this instrument is designed specifically for use

indoors. Do not use it outdoors.



Do not disassemble this instrument for being composed of delicate electronic components.

 Use this instrument at rated voltage of 100 V - 120 V or 200 V - 240 V (50/60Hz).

Connect AC power cord to AC outlet with rated voltage and frequency. Connected

voltage should not be outside the range of ±10% of nominal.

 This instrument is classified into a Pollution Degree 2 as instrument used in mainly in

manufacturing plant, laboratory, warehouse or equivalents. Use this instrument in metal

dust free and non condensing potential environment.

 This instrument is categorized into Installation Category II as equipment connected to

commercially available power source.

 Connect PC for controlling this instrument to the outlet with protective grounding.

Failure to follow this may result in electric shock due to short circuit.

 Take care not to enter foreign substance like water or metal in this instrument.

Operating in such state cause serious danger.



Do not use this instrument under direct sunlight or near heater. The internal temperature of this

instrument to becomes much higher than ambient temperature which may break this instrument.

Also, use this instrument in a well-ventilated place. To ensure proper heat dissipation,

keep the ventilation holes free from obstructions.

 Avoid rapid change in ambient temperature which may form dew condensation.  Avoid using this instrument in extremely dusty or humid place.  Use the CS-2000 at ambient temperature between 5 and 35ºC and relative humidity

80% or less (at 35ºC) with no condensation. Use the CS-2000A at ambient

temperature between 5 and 30ºC and relative humidity 80% or less (at 30ºC) with no

condensation. Operating this instrument outside specified temperature and humidity

range may not satisfy its original performance.

This Instrument

 Do not subject this instrument to strong impact or vibration.  Do not forcibly pull, bend, or apply strong force to power cord for attached AC adapter

or USB cable. This may result in snapping.  Connect this unit to power source with minimal noise.  Do not measure a high-luminance light source (including sunlight) beyond the

measurement range. The failure to observe this warning could result in damage to the

optical system.  Should breakage or abnormality be found during operation, switch power off

immediately and unplug. Then refer to “Error Check” on page 82.  Should this instrument break down, do not try to disassemble and repair it by yourself.

Please contact the nearest KONICA MINOLTA authorized service facility.  Warm this instrument up for 20 minutes at least after switching power on when the

object luminance is 2 cd/m2 or lower (measuring angle 1º).

Objective lens, ND filter and Closeup lens (Optional Accessories)

 Make sure that surfaces of objective lens, ND filter or closeup lens are clear. Correct

measurement may not be performed if there is dirt, dust, hand soil or part left unclean.  Do not touch surface of objective lens, ND filter or closeup lens with hand.  Do not change ambient temperature rapidly under high humidity. This may mist

objective lens, ND filter or closeup lens, resulting in incorrect measurement.

Note on Storage

Body

Diopter Adjustment

Rotate the diopter adjustment ring for adjustment of diopter.

Diopter adjustment ring

Adjust so that A or B on aperture or black circle indicating measuring area looks clear when observing object through finder. Adjustment would be easy starting with 1º aperture where object near aperture looks blur.

Make sure to adjust diopter before measurement. Diopter should be adjusted for the eyesight of the person who will be taking measurement. If diopter is not adjusted before focus measurement, correct measurement value may not be expected. This is because the focus is actually off even if you think it is correctly in focus. In addition, if diopter is not correctly adjusted, you may see the aperture moving depending on viewing angle.

* You sometimes see small black dots or stripes

in internal finder. It gives no effect on measuring performance.

Installation

Use screw holes for fixing at the bottom of this instrument if utilized with the tripod or jig. 2-type holes are available. Tripod screw hole: To set on the tripod. Use a tripod screw with top diameter of 3/8 inches

and depth of 10.5 mm. [Note] The tripod screw holes correspond with the 3/8-inch screws of a

large camera tripod. 1/4-inch screws cannot be used for fixing this instrument.

ISO screw hole: To set on the jig. Use ISO screws with top diameter of 5 mm and depth

of 6.5 mm.

For other detailed dimensions, see p.80.

Connecting AC Adapter

The AC adapter supplied with this instrument is used for the corresponding power source.

Warning

Always use the AC adapter and power cord supplied as a standard accessory or

optional accessory (AC-A312), and connect it to indoor AC outlet of rated voltage and frequency (100 - 120 V these may result in damage to unit, fire or electric shock.

If this instrument is not used for a long time, disconnect AC adapter from AC outlet. Accumulated dirt or water on prongs of AC adapter plug may cause fire and should be removed before use.

Do not forcibly pull any part on power cord when unplugging since this may cause

fire or electric shock. Gently disconnect by holding plug. Also, do not handle power cord with wet hands. Doing so may cause electric shock.

Do not forcibly bend, twist or pull power cord. Also, do not place heavy object on

power cord, or damage or modify one. Any of these may cause fire or electric shock due to damage to power cord.

The synchronized measurement refers to measurement mode where measurement is made in the same timing as periodical light source pulse frequency, such as vertically synchronized frequency for the display device.

[INT SYNC]

The internal sync measurement mode is used to measure the display equipment without the input of vertically synchronized signals to the body, or to measure flicker light from a light source such as a fluorescent light. Input the frequency of vertically synchronized signals for the display equipment, or the commercial frequency (50 or 60 Hz) for flicker light from a light source such as a luminescent light. The optimal integration time is automatically set based on the input value and the brightness of the object. For this

Setting

reason, enter the correct frequency value to two places of decimals. However, if the vertically synchronized frequency of the display equipment is not clear, accurate measurement will not be possible with an inaccurate frequency setting. In this case it is recommended to select [NO SYNC] mode without sync measurement (at 60 Hz of frequency), but to select [MULTI-NORMAL] mode or [MULTI-FAST] mode for the measurement time (refer to p. 29).

[EXT SYNC]

The external sync measurement mode is used to measure the display equipment after the line input of a vertically synchronized signal through the input terminal for vertically synchronized signals to the body. The optimal integration time is set automatically, based on the frequency of vertically synchronized signals and the brightness of the object.Input CMOS (5V) Level of the input signals.
