Quick Guide

Thank you for purchasing a
NIRONE Sensor Evaluation
Kit (EVK). This Quick Guide
will help you get started
with your NIRONE Sensor
EVK, with step-by-step
instructions.

Spectral Engines’ NIRONE
Sensors use patented
Micro Electro Mechanical
System (MEMS) Fabry-Perot
Interferometer enabling fast
and reliable measurements.
NIRONE Sensors work at
the true near infrared (NIR)
spectral range from 1350 to
2450 nm which means better

sensitivity and specicity in

material sensing applications.

Warning!

When you make
measurements, ensure that
the sample completely
covers the NIRONE Sensor
light source. The lamp can
emit light near the infrared
range. Risk of dazzling.

Warning!

The sensor may warm up
during long uninterrupted
use. Do not touch the sensor
during long periods of use.
Never use the Sensor EVK
without its front optics.

Warning!

Your sensor and its
accessories are not toys.
They may contain small parts.
Keep them out of reach of
children.

Important!

The intended use of NIRONE
Sensor is to measure spectra
from various materials.
Do not use the sensor for
anything other than its
intended use.

Warning!

The Sensor EVK contains a
lens made of glass. This lens
can break, if the sensor is
dropped on a hard surface
or receives a substantial
impact. If the lens breaks,
do not touch the glass parts
or attempt to remove the
broken lens from the sensor.
Stop using the sensor until
the lens is replaced by

qualied service personnel.

Please contact a distributor
or dealer.
