WARNING

CAUTION

ESCAPE CLAUSE

• TOPCON shall not take any responsibility for damage due to fire, earthquake, actions by third

persons and other accidents, or the negligence and misuse of the user and use under unusual

conditions.

• TOPCON shall not take any responsibility for damage derived from the inability to use this equipment,

such as a loss of business profit and suspension of business.

• TOPCON shall not take any responsibility for damage caused by operations other than those

described in this Instruction Manual.

• TOPCON shall not take any responsibility for damage caused by operation failures due to

combination with other devices.

CAUTIONS FOR USE

• Be sure to use the standard accessory, nickel hydride battery (charging type) for the instrument. If

you use others except the standard accessory, the instrument may operate irregularly.

• Be sure to use the specified AC adapter for the instrument. Any other AC adapter will cause a

malfunction. The input voltage is AC100 - AC240 and the power supply frequency is 50Hz - 60Hz.

• Be sure to turn off the power switch before connecting/disconnecting an external plug such as the AC

adapter or RS-232C connector.

• When the instrument is not in use for a long time, disconnect the power plug to save the energy.

• Take out the battery to avoid leakage and store the instrument when it is expected to be disused for

a month or more.

• The instrument does not have a waterproof structure. Don’t use or store the instrument where it is

splashed with water or other liquids.

• Don’t measure a bright thing that is beyond the measuring range. The photo detector may be

damaged to hinder the accurate measurement.

• Don’t use the instrument in the place with much dust, high humidity or corrosive gas.

• Don’t use the instrument where the temperature is sharply changed. The instrument has the built-in

temperature compensation circuit. However, it cannot perform measurement precisely in the

environment where the temperature is sharply changed.

• Don’t use or store the instrument where a strong shock (e.g., falling off) or constant vibration is given.

Because the instrument has the precise optical parts, a shock or vibration will cause a malfunction.

When carrying the instrument, do not give a vibration or shock to it directly.

• Store the instrument under the normal temperature condition. Don’t store it under the high

temperature and humidity condition (e.g., in a vehicle).

• The instrument case is made of plastic. Don’t wipe it, using any chemicals (acetone or thinner).

Don’t bring it near any place whose temperature is 50°C or more.

• Make a calibration regarding the instrument about once a year to keep the measurement accuracy.

For the request of calibration, contact your dealer or TOPCON TECHNOHOUSE.

• The data stored in the built-in memory are erased in the calibration of the instrument. Make a

backup file of the necessary data before requesting the calibration.

USER MAINTENANCE

Unless specified in this manual, the maintenance work shall be conducted only by a trained service engineer, to ensure the safety and performance of the instrument. The following maintenance work, however, may be executed by the operator. Regarding the maintenance method, read the applicable text in this manual.

n Cleaning the instrument cover and beam detector If the instrument case and beam detector are stained, moisten a soft cloth with the diluted neutral detergent and, with this cloth, remove the stain. Then, wipe the case and beam detector with a dry, soft cloth. The stain, fingerprint or oil on the beam detector sometimes causes a measurement error. Carefully clean the beam detector. Don’t use acetone, thinner, benzine or other solvents.

1.2.1. Names and functions of switches on keyboard

Name

Function

MEAS. switch

Starts/stops measurement. When continuous measurement is valid, measurement starts by pressing this switch once and stops by pressing it again. To stop measurement, sometimes the pressing time is longer than usual due to the integral time. When continuous measurement is invalid, measurement is performed once by pressing this switch once.

AUTO/MANU. switch

Select the measurement range mode. Each time you press this switch, the mode is changed. AUTO FULL (FL):

At every measurement, the optimal measurement range and the integral time are set.

AUTO FIRST (FS):

Only at first measurement, the optimal measurement range and the integral time are set. The set range and time are kept until the measurement stops.

AUTO ADJUST (AJ):

When first measurement is done and when “over range” and “under range” are detected, the optimal measurement range and the integral time are set.

MANUAL RANGE (ML):

Measurement is done with the measurement range and integral time set for the “MANUAL” mode.

One of “FL”, “FS”, “AJ” and “ML” is indicated on the display unit.

switches

Used to display the items, the value increment/decrement, the digit shift and the measurement data history in the function mode.

INV. switch

Used to effectuate the [CALL], [CAL], [WPS] and [W-LAN] functions that are indicated at the bottom. When any of these functions is valid, “INV” is indicated on the display unit.

SAVE. switch

Saves the measurement data of the instrument (up to 50) in the internal memory. The saved data are not erased even if the power is OFF. When the measurement data history is saved, the startup time with “Power: ON” is delayed because the measurement data are read and internally calculated.

Select the display mode. Select one of [Ev/x/y], [Ev/u’/v’], [X/Y/Z], [Ev/Tcp/duv], [Ev/Ra/Tcp], [Ev/λd/Pe] and [Spectral radiation graph]. You can change “Tcp” of [Ev/Ra/Tcp] to “color rendering property evaluation” and “special color rendering property evaluation R1-R15” with [ ] and [ ] switches. In the color rendering property evaluation mode, the display update is slower than other modes due to the internal calculation time.

FUNC. switch

The system shifts to the function mode. In the function mode, set the measurement conditions, the communication conditions, the correction factor application, etc.

CALL switch (INV)

Indicates the reference value to be applied to the difference mode. To return to the normal mode, press [INV.] and then [CALL] again.

2. If radio wave interference has occurred, change the location of the instrument or

stop using the wireless LAN for the instrument.

3. The wireless LAN module, which conforms to the Japanese technical standards, is

built in the instrument. It is not possible to use the wireless LAN in any other country or area except Japan.

4. If you use the instrument out of Japan, turn off the wireless LAN function.

“3.2.11. Setting the wireless LAN”

MEMO

This chapter will explain how to connect the instrument with the wireless LAN access point (hereinafter, access point).

• The explanation in this chapter will be done on the assumption that setting the access point has already been finished.

• For setting and operating the access point, check the instruction manual of the access point.

• The procedure in this chapter is one example. It cannot be applied to some access points.

n Connection (when the access point has the easy connection AOSS function)

1. Set the IP address, subnet mask and port number of the instrument in the function mode. The IP address must be fit to that on the access point.

2. Turn on the power of the access point and enable it to be connected.

3. Retrieve and set the access point in the function mode. After setting, cancel the function mode.

4. Press the [INV.] switch and then the [WPS] switch to connect with the access point.

5. Press the [AOSS] button of the access point until the corresponding LED blinks twice.

6. When the connection is finished normally, “W” is indicated as the status display. If the connection has failed several times, check the setting of the instrument and access point. Then, wait for 3 minutes or more and start the connection again.

n Connection (when the access point does not have the easy connection function)

1. Set the IP address, subnet mask and port number of the instrument in the function mode. The IP address must be fit to that on the access point.

2. Set “WEP” and “PASS PHRASE”, which are set for the access point, into the instrument.

3. Turn on the power of the access point and enable it to be connected.

4. Retrieve and set the access point in the function mode. After setting, cancel the function mode.

5. Press the [INV.] switch and then [W-LAN] switch to connect with the access point.
