USING THE INSTRUMENT
MEASURING A PROGRESSIVE LENS FOR DISTANCE VISION NEAR MEMORY/OFF
(EXCLUDING HORIZONTAL PRISIM PRESCRIPTION LENSES)
1 During distance vision measurement, a graphic display, as shown below, is shown on the
screen.

Move the lens slowly from the progressive zone at the lens center to lens
top, and bring the “+” into the circle .
2 When the distance vision measurement is obtained and saved, the
screen automatically changes to the near vision measurement display.
(The distance vision region can be easily detected, as you repeat moving
and stopping the lens little by little at measuring.)

By pressing the Memory button , you may manually store the result of distance
vision power measurement. The screen will then switch to the near vision mea-
surement.
When MENU/FAR MEMORY/OFF is selected as the default setting, the result
of the distance vision measurement is not automatically stored. With this setting,
you must press the Memory button to save the distance vision.

10mm approx.

For high-power lenses, sometimes the distance vision region cannot be easily
detected. In this case, obtain the measurement in the approximate position that is
shown on the above, and then press Memory button .

For horizontal prism prescription lenses, press the MEMORY button at the dis-
tance refference point.

positon.
4 By pressing the MEMORY button , the ADD power is saved,
the progressive lens measurement is completed.

When measuring a lens mounted in a large frame, the

ADD power may be higher because some lenses
increase the ADD power at a position below the near
vision region. Accordingly, if the lens is measured at a
point lower than the near vision eye point, the ADD
power reading may be higher. If you want to know the
accurate prescription, it is advisable to check the mea-
surement position at the hidden mark.

21
USING THE INSTRUMENT
ASPHERICAL RANGE PROGRESSIVE RECOGNITION MODE
1 If a progressive lens is position so that the lens is outside of
the progressive zone, the CLEAR icon button will change to
a blinking icon. By pressing the button, the screen
will automatically switch to the distance vision measurement
screen. Then proceed with the measurement as outlined Aspherical range
above.

This appears when measuring the aspherical range of the

progressive lens.

MEASURING BI-FOCAL AND TRI-FOCAL LENSES

1 Align the distance vision in the center of the target image
and press the MEMORY button .

2 Move the lens into the near vision region (bi-focal seg-
ment).

3 Press the MEMORY button and the bi-focal icon may

appear on the bottom left side of the screen.

4 Measure the bi-focal power and press the MEMORY button again.

To measure the 2nd near vision of tri-focal lenses, storing the 1st mid vision power auto-
matically changes the "MODE" button to the "ADD2" button. Pressing the "ADD2" button
starts the near vision measurement. Pressing the Memory button will store the 2nd near
vision.

22
USING THE INSTRUMENT
MEASURING AN UNPROCESSED PROGRESSIVE LENS
As each unprocessed lens has a mark on the measuring point. Do measurement on the
mark position. For measurement, follow the procedure of “Measuring a progressive lens”,
“measuring a progressive lens for distance vision” and “Measuring a progressive lens for
near vision”.
distance vision region marked

Near vision region marked

The measuring point for the distance or near vision region may be narrowed by
marks. Take care that the luminous flux may not be shaded during measurement.
ADD values will flicker when the luminous flux is shaded by marks or off the pro-
gressive zone at the time of measuring the near vision region. An EX lens may not
be provided with accurate measurements when measured in the boundary.

MODE TO MEASURE THE DIOPTER POWER OF LENSES WITH THE CONCAVE SIDE UP
1 Set MENU/PROGRESSIVE/REVERSE . Lens position Screen

2 Set the lens with the concave side down as

usual, align the distance vision region, and
press the MEMORY button .

3 Set the lens with the concave side up, align the
distance vision region, and press the MEMORY

MEASURING A CONTACT LENS
• Measuring a hard contact lens

2 Select MENU/LENS/HARD CONTACT from the menu, and HARD.C will be displayed
on the screen.

3 Put the contact lens on contact lens support with special tweezer.

24
USING THE INSTRUMENT
 • Measuring a soft contact lens without astigmatism
A soft contact lens cannot be accurately measured because of its structure.
Although you can measure a soft contact lens power in following way, consider the
results an average and not the exact value.

1 Use the contact lens support for measuring as measuring a hard contact lens.
2 Select MENU/LENS/SOFT CONTACT and SOFT.C will be displayed on the screen.

3 Pinch the soft contact lens with special tweezers to remove moisture from the lens. Put
the lens between paper and move three times to remove moisture from the surface.

If there is moisture on the soft contact lens surface, it is not possible to measure
because the luminous flux malfunctions.

4 If there is moisture dews on the surface when the contact lens is held to the light, put the
lens in the special solution again, and repeat the above. Moreover, take care about turning
inside out. When in the normal position, the lens looks like a bowl. However, when the
lens turns inside out, the rim looks warped. If the lens is ready for measurement, place it
on the contact lens holder and observe the shape (with tweezers) for alignment. After 30
seconds or more, the lens power changes since the internal moisture evaporates, there-
fore, measure it as quickly as possible.

Use the hard contact mode when measuring a toric soft contact lens.

a
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and
land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted
theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an
electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which
the CL-200 is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the CL-200 should be observed
to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary,
such as reorienting or relocating the CL-200.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

The CL-200 is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF distur-
bances are controlled. The customer or the user of the CL-200 can help prevent electromag-
netic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment (transmitters) and the CL-200 as recommended below, according
to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

SYSTEM CLASSIFICATION

• Type of protection against electric shocks: Class I equipment

Class I equipment does not depend on basic insulation only for protection against electric
shocks. It can also be earthed; therefore, the metal parts with which one comes into contact
do not become conductive if the basic insulation fails.
• Degree of protection against harmful ingress of water: IPx0
CL-200 has no protection against ingress of water. (The degree of protection against harmful
ingress of water defined in IEC 60529 is IPx0)
• Classification according to the method(s) of sterilization or disinfection recommended by the
manufacturer: not applicable.
• Classification according to the degree of safety of application in the presence of a flammable
anaesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide: Equipment not suitable for use in
the presence of a flammable anaesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide. CL-
200 should be used in environments where no flammable anesthetics and/or flammable gases
are presents.
• Classification according to the mode of operation: Continuos operation.
Continuos operation is the operation under normal load for an unlimited period, without the
specified limits of temperature being exceeded.
