INTRODUCTION
Important information: Read the manual carefully before using this
device. Inappropriate utilization may cause damage 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 on to any future user.
Conformity
We, Image Engineering GmbH & Co. KG, hereby declare that the CAL4-E
corresponds to the essential requirements of the following EC directive in its
current version:
- Electromagnetic Compatibility – 2014/30/EU
Intended use
The integrating sphere is designed to measure color, resolution, OECF, dynamic
range, and noise when using the endoscopy light source.
- Only suitable for indoor use.
- Place your system in a dry, constant tempered environment without light interference.
- The optimal ambient temperature range is 22 to 26 degrees Celsius.
General safety information
- Do not look directly at the open sphere or light source when using high intensities.
- Do not open the device without prior instructions from the Image Engineering support team.
GETTING STARTED
Scope of delivery
- CAL4-E – 30 cm integrating sphere (without light source)
- Four adapters for various types of endoscopes
- High temperature resistant cold-light cable, XENON approved
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS HARDWARE
Requirements
- Endoscope
- Projector
Connection to the projector
Connect the CAL4-E to your projector by using one of the four adapters with
the fiber.
Starting the system
Use the brackets to place a test chart on the CAL4-E opening and turn on the
projector’s light source.
NOTE
The CAL4-E device can only operate with high precision when the projector’s
light source is ready to use. Please consult the user manual of your projector
to get the information about the warmup time for constant illuminance.
Endoscopy positioning
Please verify that:
- The image height includes the test chart height.
- The lens is precisely in the middle of the test chart
Not fulfilling these requirements will lead to a non-uniform illuminated field of view and might provide questionable measurement results.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Care instructions
- Do not touch, scratch, or pollute the diffuser.
- If there is any dust on the diffuser, clean it with an air blower.
- If the fiber is removed from the CAL4-E, the illumination is invalid
- Store and transport the CAL4-E only in the delivered hard case.
