Introduction
The Auto Scan Spectrophotometer MYIRO-9 is designed for the rapid automatic scanning of printed materials.
Notes on Use
Be sure to use this instrument properly. Use of this instrument in ways other than those specified in this manual may result in risk of injury,
electric shock, instrument damage, or other problems.
▍
Operating Environment
• Use the MYIRO-9 at an ambient temperature of between 10°C and 35°C and relative humidity of 30 to 85% with no condensation. Do
not use the instrument in areas subject to rapid temperature changes.
• Do not leave the MYIRO-9 in direct sunlight or near sources of heat, such as stoves, etc. The internal temperature of the instrument
may become much higher than the ambient temperature in such cases.
• Do not use the MYIRO-9 in areas where dust, cigarette smoke or chemical gases are present. Doing so may cause deterioration in
performance or a breakdown.
• Do not use the MYIRO-9 near equipment which produces a strong magnetic field (such as speakers, etc.).
• The MYIRO-9 belongs to installation category I products (equipment which is powered by an AC adapter connected to commercially
available power).
• The MYIRO-9 belongs to pollution degree 2 products (equipment which may cause temporary electrical hazards due to contamination
or condensation or products which are used in such an environment).
• Do not use the MYIRO-9 at altitudes higher than 2,000 m.
• The MYIRO-9 and the AC adapter supplied as a standard accessory have been designed exclusively for indoor use. They should never
be used outdoors because rain or other factors may damage the instrument.
▍
Measurement
• Make sure that test charts are clean and not dusty.
• When bringing test charts from another location, avoid sudden changes in temperature and allow the test charts to become
sufficiently adapted to room temperature before taking measurements. If condensation occurs on the test chart, it may cause sluggish
scanning or paper jams.
• Be sure that there are no objects blocking the paper entry or paper exit slots of the MYIRO-9.
• The MYIRO-9 is only for measuring paper test charts or similar subjects. It cannot be used for measuring printed cloth or other subjects
with insufficient stiffness.

Power Source
• Make sure that the power switch is set to off (“
“) when the MYIRO-9 is not in use.
• Always use the AC adapter supplied as a standard accessory and connect it to an AC outlet of the rated voltage and frequency.
• Use an AC power supply of the rated supply voltage (within ±10%).
▍
System
• Do not subject the MYIRO-9 to strong impact or vibration. Doing so may cause deterioration of performance or breakdown.
• When the MYIRO-9 is not in use, it should be covered to prevent entry of foreign matter.
• The MYIRO-9 may cause interference if used near a television, radio, etc.
• Since the MYIRO-9 uses a microcomputer, external magnetic noise may cause malfunction. In this case, turn the power off, and wait 30
minutes, and then turn it on again.
