Introduction The Auto Scan Spectrophotometer FD-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 FD-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 FD-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 FD-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 FD-9 near equipment which produces a strong magnetic field (such as speakers, etc.). • The FD-9 belongs to installation category I products (equipment which is powered by an AC adapter connected to commercially available power). • The FD-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 FD-9 at altitudes higher than 2,000 m. • The FD-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. • Be sure that there are no objects blocking the paper entry or paper exit slots of the FD-9. • The FD-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 FD-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 FD-9 to strong impact or vibration. Doing so may cause deterioration of perfor¬mance or breakdown. • When the FD-9 is not in use, it should be covered to prevent entry of foreign matter. • The FD-9 may cause interference if used near a television, radio, etc. • Since the FD-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. ❙❙Notes on Storage • The FD-9 should be stored at temperatures between 0°C and 40°C, and at a relative humidity of 80% or less (35°C) without condensation. Do not store the instrument in areas subject to high temperatures, high humidity, sudden changes in temperature, or where freezing or condensation may occur, because these circumstances may cause a breakdown. It is recommended to store the FD-9 with a drying agent at a temperature around 20°C. • Do not leave the FD-9 inside a car such as in the trunk. Otherwise, the temperature and/or humidity may exceed the allowable range for storage during midsummer or midwinter, resulting in a breakdown. • Keep the packing materials used for shipment and use them to transport the FD-9. This protects the instrument from sudden changes in temperature, vibration, and shock. • Do not store the FD-9 in areas where dust, cigarette smoke or chemical gases are present. Doing so may cause deterioration in 2
