Notes on Use
●
This is a precision instrument, and should be handled with due care.
●
Read through this manual before powering up this instrument for the first time.
●
Always set the power switch to OFF position (the "O" side) before attaching or removing
the receptor head.
●
To conserve batteries, keep the power switch set to the OFF position while the instrument
is not in use.
●
Take care to keep the receptor window clean and free of scratches. Keep the cap on when
the window is not in use.
●
Do not press or push on the display, or subject the display to impacts or other excessive
forces.
●
This instrument is designed for use at ambient temperature between -10 and 40
°
C at
relative humidity no higher than 85% (at 35
°
C). Please do not use this instrument in envi-
ronments outside this range.
●
Keep in mind that the instrument may become considerably hotter than the surrounding
environment if left under direct sunlight or near a heater or other such device. Exercise
due care when using the instrument in these types of locations.
●
The spherical summit of the receptor window is used as the illuminance reference plane.
●
Exposure to strong external electromagnetic noise may in rare cases interfere with the
correct functioning of the instrument's internal microprocessor, resulting in misoperation.
If this should occur, disconnect the power briefly (remove the batteries or disconnect the
AC adapter), then reconnect the power and restart the instrument.
●
Do not use this instrument at altitudes above 2000 meters (6560 ft).
●
This instrument is an Installation Category II product. Be sure to use the specified power
source when powering this instrument from an AC adapter.
●
This instrument is a Pollution degree II product. Avoid use in environments where the
instrument may be exposed to metallic dust or condensation.
How to Clean
●
If the instrument gets dirty, wipe it with a dry cloth or silicon cloth. Never use solvents such
as thinner and benzene.
●
If the receptor window gets very dirty, wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth. If the dirt cannot
be removed or the receptor window is scratched, contact the nearest authorized Minolta
service facility.
●
In cases of malfunction, do not disassemble the CL-200 or attempt to repair it yourself.
Contact the nearest Minolta-authorized service facility.
How to Store
●
This instrument should be stored at temperatures of between -20 and 55
°
C at 85% or less
relative humidity (at 35
°
C). Do not store this instrument in hot and humid areas or areas
where condensation is likely to occur. For protection, this instrument should be stored at
normal temperatures with a drying agent such as silica gel.
●
Do not leave the instrument near the rear window or inside the trunk of a car. Under strong
sunlight, the increase in temperature can be extreme and may result in breakdown or
deformation.
●
If you are not going to use the instrument for 2 or more weeks, remove the batteries from
the instrument. Failure to do so may cause leakage of electrolyte, resulting in damage to
the instrument.
