Take special care not to allow liquid or metal objects to enter the CS-100A. Doing so may cause a fire or electric shock. Should liquid or metal objects enter the instrument, turn the power OFF immediately, remove the batteries, and contact the nearest Konica Minolta authorized service facility.
Do not use batteries other than those specified by Konica MInolta. When installing batteries in the instrument, make sure that they are correctly oriented according to the (+) and (-) marks. Failure to adhere to these instructions may cause explosion of the batteries or leakage of electrolyte, resulting in fire, injury or air pollution.
Protective lens filterChroma Meter CS-100A should be calibrated abd used with the protective lens filter in place. If the filter becomes soiled, use blower to remove loose dust, and wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. If the filter is damaged, it should be replaced. Replacement filters are manufactured to a standard chromatic transmis- sion density for measurement precision. When extremely precise data measurements are required, please contact the nearest Konica Minolta authorized service facility.
Use with Data Processor DP-101The CS-100A and Data Processor DP-101 may be easily connected together using the Data Cable
supplied with the DP-101. When the CS-100A is connected with the DP-101, several additional functions are available. Color systems Yu’v’ and L*a*b* (CIE 1976) may be used for chromaticity and color-difference measurements; total color difference ∆E* ab, color temperature, and color distance from blackbody by uv may also be determined. Up to 300 data sets, four calibration standards, and 17 target colors (for color-difference measurements) may be stored in memory. Data printout and statistical calculations may also be performed. Other features include a built-in timer for taking measurements at user-selected inter- vals and a multiple-measurement mode which automatically takes three measurements, averages them, and uses the average as the data set.
For further information about the Data Processor DP-101, contact the nearest Konica Minolta authorized service facility.
CARE AND STORAGE
• Do not touch the front lens surface. If it becomes dirty, remove any loose dust with a blower orcompressed air, and wipe lightly with lens tissue if necessary. For safety, cover lens with the lens capwhen not using meter.• When dirty, the meter may be wiped with a silicone-treated cloth or other clean, dry cloth. Do not allow
alcohol or chemicals to touch the meter’s surface.
• Do not leave the meter in places subject to high humidity or to temperatures higher than 55ºC (131ºF)(such as inside a closed motor vehicle), or lower than -20ºC (-4ºF).• Do not leave the meter in direct sunlight or near sources of heat, such as stoves, strong lights etc.
• Do not subject the meter to shock or vibration.• Do not press on the liquid-crystal display window.• Never attempt to disassemble the meter. Any necessary repairs should be done only by an authorized
Konica MInolta service facility.• When the meter is to be stored for an extended period of time, remove the battery, place the meter in
its original packaging and put it in an air-tight container with a dehumidifying agent, such as silica gel.
• Do not aim the lens at the sun during transportation or storage. For safety, cover lens with the lens capwhen not using the meter.
• Never look through the viewfinder snd aim the CS-100 at the sun. Doing so may damage your eyes andthe meter’s photocell.
• If the meter is used at temperatures higher than 40º C (104º F) or less than 0º C (32º F), operation maybe unsatisfactory.
