may cause deterioration in performance or a breakdown.  
• Do not use the CM-700d/600d near equipment which produces a strong magnetic field (such as speakers etc.).  
• The CM-700d/600d belongs to installation category II products (equipment which is powered by an AC  
adapter connected to commercially available power).  
• The CM-700d/600d belongs to pollution level 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 CM-700d/600d at altitudes higher than 2000 m.  
• The CM-700d/600d 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  
• When using the instrument upside-down, make sure no dirt or dust get into the specimen measuring port.  
• When using the instrument for long periods of time, the measurement value may change depending on changes  
in the environment. Therefore, in order to achieve accurate measurements, we recommend that white  
calibration be done regularly using the White Calibration Cap.  
White Calibration Cap  
• The White Calibration Cap must be used in combination with the instrument that bears the same pairing number.  
The calibration data for the White Calibration Plate attached to the White Calibration Cap was measured at 23°C.  
To achieve the highest accuracy when measuring absolute values (colorimetric values), calibration and  
measurement should be performed at 23°C.  
• Do not allow the White Calibration Plate to get scratched or stained.  
• When not using the White Calibration Cap, invert it so that the White Calibration Plate is not exposed to  
ambient light.  
• When the White Calibration Cap is attached to the instrument, do not hold on to the White Calibration Cap to  
move the instrument. The cap may become detached from the instrument, causing the instrument to fall and  
become damaged.  
Target Mask  
• Do not touch the Target Mask’s inner surface by hand, scratch it or make it dirty.  
• When not in use, Target Masks should be stored in the cardboard box used for shipment or in the optional hard  
case so that they will not be exposed to ambient light.

Power Source  
• Make sure that the power switch is set to OFF (“ ”) when the CM-700d/600d is not in use.  
• The CM-700d/600d can be powered from either the AC adapter (AC-A305) or AA-size alkaline or nickel-  
metal-hydride rechargeable batteries. Note, however, that you cannot use this AC adapter to charge the nickel-  
metal-hydride rechargeable batteries installed in the instrument.  
• Always use the AC adapter supplied as a standard accessory (AC-A305) 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 CM-700d/600d to strong impact or vibration. Doing so may cause deterioration in  
performance or a breakdown.  
• Since the specimen measuring port and integrating sphere are extremely precise optical components, great  
care should be taken to prevent them getting dirty or exposing them to impact.  
• When not in use, the instrument must be stored with the White Calibration Cap being attached.  
• The CM-700d/600d may cause interference if used near a television, radio, etc.  
• When the instrument is exposed to strong external static electricity, the LCD may go blank or the measurement  
result may not be displayed properly. If the instrument is communicating with an external device, the  
communication may be interrupted. In these cases, turn the power OFF and then turn it ON again. If black  
smudges appear on the LCD, wait until they disappear naturally.  
• When turning the power OFF and then ON again, wait several seconds after turning the power OFF.  
Backup Battery  
• Measured data and various settings are stored in the memory backed up by batteries. The backup batteries are  
automatically charged during operation of this instrument, and can retain the contents of the memory for 5  
months if they have been fully charged. At the time of purchase, the backup battery may not be fully charged.  
To charge the backup battery, set the power switch to ON. Charging of the backup battery is performed  
continuously while the instrument is switched on, even while the instrument is being used. Full charging is  
completed in 24 hours, and there is no danger of overcharging.  
• It is recommended to keep a backup for your important data on another recording medium using the optional  
Color Data Software SpectraMagicNX (CM-S100w).  
Note  
• The backup batteries' model number is ML2020 (3 V).  
• Do not try to replace the backup batteries by yourself. Contact a KONICA MINOLTA-authorized service  
facility.  
Notes on Storage  
• The CM-700d/600d should be stored at temperatures between 0°C and 45°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 CM-700d/600d with a drying agent at  
a temperature around 20°C.  
• Do not leave the CM-700d/600d inside a car such as in the cabinet or 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 CM-700d/600d. This protects the  
instrument from sudden changes in temperature, vibration, and shock.  
• Do not store the CM-700d/600d in areas where dust, cigarette smoke or chemical gases are present. Doing so  
may cause deterioration in performance or a breakdown.  
• Entry of dust into the specimen measuring port will hinder accurate measurement. When the instrument is not  
in use, you must attach the White Calibration Cap to the instrument to prevent the entry of dust into the  
integrating sphere through the specimen measuring port.

Calibration  
Zero Calibration  
Since the CM-700d/600d stores the data of the zero calibration performed at the factory, it is unnecessary  
to repeat the zero calibration every time you turn ON the instrument. However, if the measurement  
conditions change greatly, or if you use the optional dust cover set or Target Mask φ 8 mm (with glass),  
you need to perform zero calibration before white calibration.  
Memo  
• The effects of stray light inside the measuring part (i.e. light generated due to the flare characteristics of the optical  
system) will be compensated for automatically by the zero calibration data.  
• The amount of stray light may change because of dust or dirt which has collected in the optical system, humidity,  
repeated operation, or vibration and shock exerted on the instrument. In this case, performing zero calibration  
periodically is recommended.  
• When I + E (SCI + SCE) is specified as the specular component mode (refer to page E-43 “Mode”), clicks caused  
by opening and closing the optical trap may be heard during the measurement.  
Note  
• If the instrument is not used for long periods of time, the zero calibration data stored in the instrument may be  
lost. If the data is lost, zero calibration must be performed again.  
• When the instrument is used for the first time after purchase at a given measurement area setting (MAV or  
SAV; SAV is available on CM-700d only), zero calibration must be performed.  
• If you performed zero calibration using the optional dust cover set or Target Mask φ 8 mm (with glass), you  
must perform zero calibration again before starting measurement using the standard Target Mask.  
[Setting Procedure]  
Confirm the type of attached target mask and the setting of the measurement area  
1
selector of the instrument.  
Turn the instrument ON.  
2
The <Calibration> screen is displayed.  
Note  
Check the status icons displayed at the top of the screen to  
verify that the lens position (MAV/SAV) icon is correct for  
the measurement area selector setting and for the type of  
attached Target Mask.  
• If a different screen is displayed, press the [CAL] button.

Calibration  
White Calibration  
White calibration must be performed prior to start of measurement after the power is turned ON for the  
first time after purchase at the current settings.  
When white calibration finishes,  
<white calibration completed icon> is displayed.  
Once white calibration is completed, measurement is possible without white calibration when the  
instrument is turned ON the next time. However, the measurement result is not accurate.  
Memo  
• The calibration data for the White Calibration Cap supplied with the instrument are stored in the instrument.  
• Although the white calibration results stored in the internal memory are retained even after the instrument is turned  
off, it is recommended that you repeat white calibration each time you switch the power back on.  
• The reading may fluctuate slightly due to changes in the ambient temperature or due to heat generation caused by  
repeated operation of the instrument. In this case, make sure to perform white calibration regularly.  
• When I + E (SCI + SCE) is specified as the specular component mode (refer to page E-43 “Mode”), clicks caused  
by opening and closing the optical trap may be heard during the measurement.  
Note  
• White calibration must be performed at the same temperature as the one at which measurement will be  
performed.  
• Before starting white calibration, make sure that the instrument is sufficiently acclimatized to the ambient  
temperature.  
• Whenever the measurement area setting has been changed between MAV and SAV, white calibration must be  
performed.  
[Setting Procedure]  
Confirm the type of attached target mask and the setting of the measurement area  
1
selector of the instrument.  
Turn the instrument ON.

Color Difference Target Color Data Operation  
Setting a Target Color  
To measure the color difference between two specimens, the color of one of the specimens must be set  
as the target color. The CM-700d/600d can store up to 1,000 target colors.  
When using the instrument alone, measure a target specimen by following the procedure below and set  
the result as the target color.  
Memo  
• Target colors are stored with setting numbers from 0001 to 1000 being assigned. Even when the data at some  
midpoint is deleted, these setting numbers do not change. It is useful to group data by assigning numbers of  
specific digits.  
• The color difference tolerances used for pass/fail judgment are generally set for each target color. Consequently,  
you can set the tolerances using the menu of a target color.  
• To set more accurate target color data, use averaging to measure the target specimen. For details, refer to “Average  
Measurement” on page E-92.  
Note  
• Be sure to perform white calibration before setting target colors.  
• To ensure measurement accuracy, make sure to keep ambient conditions (temperature, etc.) constant.  
[Setting Procedure]  
Press the [TARGET] button.

The <Target> screen is displayed.  
• Pressing the [SAVE/SEL] (List/Detail) button switches  
the screen between detail display and list display.

move the cursor to a desired target color No.  
Note  
Unlike measured data, the numbers assigned to target  
color data do not change automatically. When you  
measure colors continuously to set target colors, you need  
to move the cursor manually to set each data.

Setting the Default Color Difference Tolerance (Tolerance (Def.))  
With the CM-700d/600d, you can preset and save tolerances which do not depend on the target color data  
as default values. During measurement, just selecting the tolerance No. allows automatic judgment using  
the target colors and tolerances.  
Memo  
• If tolerances for each target color have not been set, the tolerance setting for the registration number selected  
during measurement (initial value: 01) is used as the tolerance setting for each target color.  
• Up to 8 default tolerance settings can be specified to registration numbers 01 to 08. Tolerances have been factory-  
set to registration number 01 only. You need to set tolerances for registration numbers 02 to 08 as necessary.  
• With the optional Color Data Software “SpectraMagic™ NX”, you can set or use the color difference tolerance  
easily.  
Note  
Registration 01 for tolerance settings is set as the initial setting at the time of shipment from the factory, and  
contains default settings for tolerance items. Even if the display conditions (such as color space or color  
difference equation, index, etc.) are changed, the tolerance setting items will not be automatically changed.  
If it is desired to set tolerance values according to the currently set display conditions, either delete the currently  
set tolerance settings and then create new tolerance settings, or create new tolerance settings for a registration  
number for which tolerances have not yet been set and select that registration number.

Average Measurement  
When taking measurements or setting target colors, more accurate data can be obtained if the averaging  
function is used.  
With the CM-700d/600d, the following two averaging functions are available.  
• Manual Averaging : When the color of the specimen is not uniform, measurements are performed at  
different positions on the specimen and then the average of the measured spectral  
reflectance data is calculated. This gives the average data of the entire specimen.  
• Auto Averaging : The specified number of measurements are repeated at the same position on the  
specimen and then the average of the measured spectral reflectance data is  
calculated. This will improve the accuracy of the measured data.  
These two functions can also be used in combination. In this case, it is necessary to make settings for  
both auto and manual averaging. For details, refer to page E-45 “Auto Averaging (Auto Ave.)” and page  
E-46 “Manual Averaging (Manual Ave.)”.  
Note  
For average measurement, the average of the measured spectral reflectance data is calculated first, then  
colorimetric data is calculated based on that calculated average. Thus, the result may not match the average of  
the measured colorimetric data.  
Manual Averaging  
This method is used when the color of the specimen is not uniform. Measurements are performed at  
calculated, to obtain the average data of the entire specimen.  
Note  
Before using manual averaging, you must complete the settings for manual averaging.  
For details, refer to page E-46 “Manual Averaging (Manual Ave.)”.

Average Measurement  
Auto Averaging  
Measurement is repeated the specified number of times at the same position on the specimen and then  
the average of the measured spectral reflectance data is calculated. This will improve the accuracy of the  
measured data.

You can set tolerances for the color difference of the measured data from the target color data to make  
pass/fail judgment. The CM-700d/600d uses box tolerances for judgment.  
The tolerances can also be set for “Cond 01 to 08” on the <Option> screen. For details, refer to page E-50  
“Tolerance (Box Tolerance) Setting”.  
The pass/fail judgment will be based on the target color data of the number selected for measurement,  
and on either of the tolerances specified for the target color data or the tolerances set for “Cond 01 to 08”.  
If target color data is deleted, neither the color difference display for the data nor the pass/fail judgment  
based on the tolerances set to the data will be performed. Even if other target color data is selected,  
recalculations and pass/fail judgments will not take place.  
Pass/Fail Judgment Based on Tolerances  
If the measured color difference is outside the tolerances set for the target color, the value will be  
highlighted in red to indicate that the judgment result is “Fail”. Both + and - tolerances can be set for each  
target color.  
To perform pass/fail judgment based on box tolerances, follow the procedure given below.  
Note  
Before using this function, you must set color difference tolerances.

Principles of Measurement  
Illuminating/Viewing System  
This instrument utilizes the di:8°/de:8° geometry conforming to CIE No. 15, ASTM E1164, DIN 5033  
Teil 7, ISO 7724/1, and JIS Z8722-1982 (diffused illumination, 8-degree viewing angle) standards, and  
offers measurement with automatic SCI (specular component included) and SCE (specular component  
excluded) switching.  
The flow of measurement is shown below.

Light from the xenon lamps diffuses on the inner surface of the integrating sphere and illuminates the  
specimen uniformly.  
a: The light reflected from the specimen surface at an angle of 8° to the normal of the surface is  
received by the specimen-measuring optical system.  
b: The light diffused in the integrating sphere is received by the illumination-monitoring optical  
system and guided to the sensor.  
3
The light reflected from the specimen surface and the diffused light are divided into each wavelength  
component by the specimen-measuring optical system and illumination-monitoring optical sensor  
respectively, and then signals proportional to the light intensity of each component are output to the  
analog processing circuit.  
By processing the outputs from the specimen-measuring optical system and the illumination-monitoring  
sensor with the calculation by the CPU, the instrument compensates for slight fluctuations in the spectral  
characteristics and intensity of the illumination light. (Double-beam system)

Principles of Measurement  
Illumination Area and Measurement Area  
The CM-700d/600d allows selection from two measurement areas, SAV (φ 3 mm) and MAV (φ 8 mm),  
according to the specimen and applications. A Target Mask (illumination area) suitable for the selected  
measurement area must be attached to the instrument.  
Note  
With the CM-600d, only MAV (φ 8 mm) is available.  
Target Mask (illumination area)  
The CM-700d/600d does not have a function to automatically detect whether the currently-attached  
Target Mask is for SAV or MAV. You need to attach the correct Target Mask according to the selected  
measurement area.  
Since the Target Mask’s tip condition affects measured values, do not touch the inner surface by hand,  
scratch it or allow it to get dirty.  
Measurement Area  
The measurement area can be switched by sliding the measurement area selector.  
Note  
With the CM-600d, only MAV (φ 8 mm) is available. Consequently, it does not have a measurement area selector.  
Simultaneous SCI/SCE Measurement  
The CM-700d/600d offers simultaneous SCI (Specular Component Included)/SCE (Specular  
Component Excluded) measurement by using “automatic SCI/SCE switching with an automatic optical  
trap mechanism”.  
Automatic optical trap mechanism  
An optical trap automatically opens or closes according to the specular component mode (SCI/SCE/I +  
E) specified with the instrument.  
The light source flashes once for SCI measurement and once for SCE measurement respectively. When  
Auto Averaging is specified, the flash is repeated for the specified number of measurements.  
In either SCI or SCE mode, the automatic optical trap mechanism is not used. In I + E (SCE + SCE)  
mode, the automatic optical trap mechanism is enabled. For the first flash, SCI measurement is  
performed with the optical trap closed. For the second flash, SCE measurement is performed with the  
optical trap open.  
Communication Mode  
The CM-700d/600d is set to the communication mode when it is connected to a PC. When the instrument  
is controlled from the PC, the instrument's LCD screen shows “Communicating”. While this message is  
displayed, the buttons of the instrument are disabled.  
You can, however, send a command from the PC to the instrument to set it to the measuring button  
enabled mode, so that you can start measurement by pressing the measuring button of the instrument. In  
this case, the measured data is transferred to the PC and is not stored in the memory of the instrument.  
If you want to control the instrument from a PC, you need software that allows the connection and  
operation of the instrument.  
If you want to develop your own program to control the instrument from a PC, contact a KONICA  
MINOLTA-authorized service facility.

Principles of Measurement  
Initial Settings  
* Initialization of the instrument will reset the settings to the initial values shown in the table below.  
The measured data, target color data and tolerances set for each target color are protected and not  
cleared by the initialization.  
* The zero calibration data will be reset to the factory-set data.  
If you performed zero calibration due to a change in the measurement environment, you will need to  
perform zero calibration again after the initialization.  
* In certain cases, the instrument is initialized due to another cause other than the initialization operation  
(e.g. when the built-in backup battery life expired). In this case, the measured data, target color data  
and tolerance setting will also be reset to the initial status (no measured data, no target color data,  
default tolerance setting).
