1  INTRODUCTION 

Important information: Read the manual carefully before using the device.  

Inappropriate utilization may cause damages to the device, to the DUT (device under test) 
and/or other components of your setup.  

Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them to any future user.  

1.1  Conformity 

We, Image Engineering GmbH & Co. KG, hereby declare, that the CAL2 corresponds to the 
essential requirements of the following EC directive in its current version:  

  Electromagnetic Compatibility - 2014/30/EU 

  RoHS 2 - 2011/65/EU 

  Low Voltage - 2014/35/EU 

1.2  Intended use 

This small light source, based on iQ-LED technology, is designed for flexible integration into a 
production line. It has an externel micro spectrometer and is controlled with the iQ-LED control 
software or via dip switches when not connected to a PC.  

  Only suitable for indoor use. 

  Place your system in a dry and constant tempered environment without any interfering 

light. 

  The optimal ambient temperature range is 22 to 26 degrees Celsius. The maximum 

ambient temperature range is 18 to 28 degree Celsius.  

  The optimal system temperature range, displayed in the software user interface, is 

between 35 and 50 degrees Celsius. The system has internal temperature 

management, if there is any error regarding the internal temperature, you will get a 

warning message and the system will automatically shut off to avoid any damage.

 

 

1.2.1  Departing from described setup 

The following steps must be performed in the correct chronology to allow a frictionless 
commissioning. Departing from the chronology may lead to an incorrect working device.  

1.  Install the iQ-LED software 

2.  Connect CAL2 to power and via USB to the PC  

3.  Switch CAL2 on; the system drivers will now be installed 

4.  After drivers are installed completely start the software 

1.2.2  USB connection 

Only appropriate USB connection allows error-free operation of CAL2. Use delivered USB 
cables. If you need to extend the USB connection to longer distances, please check if powered 
hubs/repeaters are necessary.
