5  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 

5.1  Maintenance 

Your spectrometer comes fully NIST traceable calibrated. 

The spectrometer requires a recalibration once a year, regardless of the operating hours. If a 
spectrometer calibration is necessary, please contact Image Engineering.  

Please send the complete device to Image Engineering. 
Pack the CAL3 with a notation for calibration in the hard case it was delivered in. 

Please contact [email protected] for conditions and procedure.  

 

After the spectrometer has been calibrated, perform a spectral calibration (iQ-LED calibration).  

We suggest you also do a new generate for all illuminants you use 

 

5.2  Care instructions 

 

Do not touch, scratch, or pollute the diffusor. 

 

If there is any dust on the diffusor, clean it with an air blower.  

 

Do not remove the fiber from the spectrometer. Otherwise, the calibration is invalid, and 

the spectrometer has to be 

recalibrated

!  

 

Only store and transport the CAL3 in the delivered hard case. 

5.3  Disposal instructions  

After the service life of CAL3, it must be disposed of properly. Electrical and electromechanical 
components are included in CAL3. Observe your national regulations. Make sure that CAL3 
cannot be used by third parties after disposing of it.  

Contact Image Engineering if assistance for disposal is required.
