Safety Considerations
To ensure operation safety, this instrument must be operated correctly and maintained according
to a regular schedule. Carefully read to fully understand all safety precautions in this manual
before operating the instrument. Please take a moment to understand what the signal words
WARNING
! , CAUTION, and Note mean in this manual.
(1) Safety symbols
Instruction manual symbol. If the product is marked with this symbol,
refer to the instrument manuals to protect the instrument against
damage.
WARNING ! A WARNING ! indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, could result in serious injury or even death.
CAUTION A CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be
used to alert against damaging the equipment.
Do not proceed beyond a WARNING
! or CAUTION notice until you
understand the hazardous conditions and have taken the
appropriate steps.
Note A Note provides additional information to help the operator achieve
optimal instrument performance.

ii
(2) Warning indication
Warnings are indicated at several locations on this instrument. Do not deface or damage the
warning indication.
Figure.1 Warning indication
1) Warning for FUSE (Fig. 2 or Fig. 3)
Only use fuses of the designated rating to protect both operator and instrument from fire and
other hazards. Whenever replacing the lamp, be sure to turn the “Power” switch OFF and
unplug the power cable from the power outlet to avoid the risk of electric shock and other
hazards.
2) Warning for GROUND (Fig. 2 or Fig. 3)
You may receive an electric shock if the instrument is not properly grounded. Correctly ground
the instrument using the grounding terminal on the power board. Do not use water supply
pipes for grounding because they are often made of nonmetals. For the same reason, do not
use gas piping for grounding either.

Preface
This instruction manual is your guide for using this instrument. It instructs first-time users on how
to use the instrument, and serves as a reference for experienced users.
Before using the instrument, please read this instruction manual carefully, and make sure that the
contents are fully understood. This manual should be easily accessible to the operator at all times
during instrument operation. When not using the instrument, keep this manual in a safe place. If this
instruction manual becomes lost, order a replacement from your local JASCO distributor.
Note: The operating procedure varies with the type of instrument. Operation is
described by type. Read the portion relevant to your instrument.

viii
Installation Requirements
To ensure operation safety, observe the following conditions:
(1) Do not operate the instrument under voltage fluctuations exceeding 10% of the
recommended line voltage. Otherwise, the instrument may not function properly.
(2) Frequency or spike noise in the power supply should be minimal.
(3) Ensure that the instrument is grounded.
(4) Operate the instrument in a temperature range of 15 to 30 °C.
(5) Operate the instrument in humidity below 85% (RH). JASCO recommends operating the
instrument in humidity below 60% to avoid the deterioration of the optical components due
to the condensation caused by high humidity.
(6) Operate the instrument in an atmospheric pressure range of 750 to 1060 hPa.
(7) Avoid strong magnetic fields and sources of high frequency. The instrument may not
function properly when near a strong magnetic field or high frequency source.
(8) Avoid vibration from vacuum pumps, electric motors, processing equipment and machine
tools.
(9) Avoid dust and corrosive gas. Do not install the instrument where it may be exposed to dust,
especially in locations exposed to outside air or ventilation outlets that discharge dust
particles.
(10) Do not install the instrument in a location where it may be exposed to direct sunlight.
(11) Install the instrument in a horizontal and stable position. (This includes a table or desk upon
which the instrument is installed.)
(12) Ensure that no air conditioner blows air directly onto the instrument. This may prevent
stable measurement.
(13) Install the instrument in a location that allows easy access for maintenance.
Note: The above conditions do not guarantee optimal performance of this
instrument.

ix
Servicing
Contact your local JASCO distributor for instrument servicing. In addition, contact your JASCO
distributor before moving the instrument to another location. Consumable parts should be ordered
according to part number from your local JASCO distributor. If a part number is unknown, give
your JASCO distributor the model name and serial number of your instrument.
Do not return contaminated products or parts that may constitute a health hazard to
JASCO employees.

1.2 Installation and Connecting Cables
Note:
Be certain to comply with the instrument installation requirements
described in this manual (see page ⅷ ). Failure to comply with these
requirements can cause faults with the instrument.
1.2.1 Preparation
Prepare a table which can bear a weight of about 50 kg (differs according to instrument) and has
an area of 700 mm (length) × 600 mm (width) when using the iRM type.
If using a PC as well, prepare a table, which can hold a weight of about 70 kg (differs according to
instrument) and has an area of 700 mm (length) × 1500 mm (width), allowing space for a printer.
Confirm that the power switch of the main unit is off and that the power switch of the PC is off
when using a PC.
1.2.2 Connecting the Cable of iRM Type
WARNING!: You may receive an electric shock if the instrument is not properly
grounded. Correctly ground the instrument using the grounding
terminal on the power board.
CAUTION: For grounding, do not use water pipes, which are often made of
nonmetals. For safety reasons, do not use gas tubing for grounding
either.
Note: Use of a 3-pin power plug with a grounding terminal is recommended.
(1) Connect the cable from the iRM to the “iRM” connector on the rear of V-600.
(2) Connect the AC power cable to the “AC INPUT” connector on the rear of V-600.
Connect the other end of the AC power cable to an electrical outlet.
1.2.3 Connecting the Cable of PC Type
WARNING!: You may receive an electric shock if the instrument is not properly
grounded. Correctly ground the instrument using the grounding
terminal on the power board.
CAUTION: For grounding, do not use water pipes, which are often made of
nonmetals. For safety reasons, do not use gas tubing for grounding
either.
Note: Use of a 3-pin power plug with a grounding terminal is recommended.
(1) Connect the “USB” port located on the rear of V-600 and the USB port on the PC using the
USB cable.

5
(2) Connect the PC and the monitor.
(3) Connect the AC power cable to the “AC INPUT” connector on the rear of V-600. Connect
the other end of the AC power cable to an electrical outlet.
(4) Connect the AC power cables to the AC input connector of PC and monitor. Connect the
other ends of the AC power cables to an electrical outlet.
