Foreword

About the packing materials contained in your product package

•Please ensure that you carefully keep the packing materials (corrugated cardboard, cushion materials, and plastic bags) contained in your product package.

•The RANGE7/5 is a precision measuring instrument. If you transport the RANGE7/5 to our factory for the purpose of maintenance (repair, etc.), you should use the packing materials contained in the product package in order to minimize impact and shock during transportation. If any of the packing materials are lost or damaged, please contact a KONICA MINOLTA-authorized service facility.

Notes On Use

•We shall guarantee the RANGE7/5 operation at 10°C to 40°C ambient temperature and 65% or less relative humidity. Ensure that the RANGE7/5 operating environment is within this range.

•The RANGE7/5 has been calibrated at 20°C. It is recommended that this instrument should be used at a room temperature of 20°C.

•The RANGE7/5 has been designed for indoor use. Do not use this instrument outdoors.

•Do not use the RANGE7/5 in a place exposed to direct sunlight in summer, or near a heater.

The RANGE7/5 temperature becomes much higher than the ambient temperature, causing a fault of the instrument. Use the RANGE7/5 in a well-ventilated place. Do not block the ventilation port.

•Do not use the RANGE7/5 in a dusty place, or in a place with high humidity. Otherwise, there may be a fault with the instrument.

•Do not strike or apply strong vibration to the RANGE7/5. Otherwise, the instrument may have a fault.

•Do not use the RANGE7/5 near a high-rise building or a road with heavy traffic. If the RANGE7/5 and the targets being measured shake, the RANGE7/5 may not obtain accurate measurement results.

•Do not overturn the RANGE7/5. Otherwise, the instrument may have a fault.

•Do not disconnect any cable while the RANGE7/5 is ON (while Power button is lit yellow-green.) Otherwise, there may be a fault with the instrument.

•The RANGE7/5 is a class 2 laser instrument as specified in IEC Publication 60825-1. Handle this instrument properly by observing the instructions given in this manual.

•Use the RANGE7/5 at an altitude of 2000 m max.

•When you use the RANGE7/5 for the first time, or after transportation, make sure that the lens is securely fastened. If the lens becomes loose, tighten it securely by following the lens exchanging procedure.

Care On Storage

•The RANGE7/5 should be stored in areas with temperatures of between -10ºC and +50ºC. Do not store it in areas subject to high temperature or high humidity or where sudden changes in temperature or condensation are likely to occur. We recommend storing the RANGE7/5 around room temperature (20ºC) with a desiccant (silica gel etc.).

•Do not leave the RANGE7/5 inside a closed car or in the trunk of a car. Under direct sunlight, the increase in temperature can be extreme and may result in malfunctions.

•When shipping the product, use the original packing materials in which the product was shipped. The materials will provide protection against vibrations and impact, and also provide some protection against sudden changes in temperature.

•The RANGE7/5 should not be stored in areas where there is an excessive amount of dust, cigarette smoke or chemical gas. Failure to adhere to this may result in performance degradation or break-down.

•When lenses are not in use, attach the lens and mount caps and store the lenses in the exclusive case.

•When storing the RANGE7/5 with lens attached, put the lens cap on the lens.

Notes On Cleaning

•If the RANGE7/5 needs cleaning, wipe with a soft dry cloth. Never use solvents such as thinner or benzene.

•If the lens or laser emitting window is dirty, blow off sand or dust using a blower. If the lens is still dirty, wipe the lens gently with a piece of cleaning paper dampened with a cleaning agent.

•In cases of malfunction, do not disassemble the RANGE7/5 or attempt to repair it yourself. Contact the nearest KONICA MINOLTA-authorized service facility.

Disposal Method

•Make sure that the RANGE7/5, accessories and the packing materials are either disposed of or recycled correctly in accordance with local laws and regulations.
