Decimal Type Although the decimal is commonly expressed as the “.” symbol (i.e., 20.6 or 1000.53), some (European) countries use a “,” symbol to represent the decimal (i.e., 20,6 or 1000,53). The meter defaults to the period symbol. To adjust: 1.
Sampling Time The sampling time is the time allotted between successive measurements. To adjust the sampling time (in seconds): 1. Enter the sampling time function from Setup Mode (see page 5). “SP-t” appears on the LCD. 2. Press ▲ or ▼ to adjust the value (0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 30, 60, 120, 300, 600, 800, 1800, 3600 seconds).
Light Meter 1. Press POWER to turn the meter on. 2. Plug the probe plug into the probe input socket. 3. Remove the sensor cover from the light sensor. 4. Press and hold FUNC to cycle through the options until “LIgHt” appears on the LCD.

Maximum and Minimum To record maximum and minimum readings: 1. When measuring any parameter, press REC to begin recording the maximum and minimum values. “REC” appears on the LCD. 2. Press REC. The maximum value and “REC MAX” will appear on the LCD. 3.
DATALOGGER Preparing the Datalogger 1. Insert the SD card into the SD card socket on the bottom of the meter, ensuring that the front of the SD card faces the back of the meter. 2. Format the SD card as needed (see page 7). 3.

SD Card Data Structure 1. The first time a SD card is used in this meter, a folder LXA01 will be generated. 2. If the datalogger is being used for the first time, a new file LXA01001. XLS will be generated under the route LXA01\. After exiting the datalogger and executing the function again, the data is saved to the LXA01001.XLS file until the data reach 30,000 data columns.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT This meter uses six AA (1.5 V, UM3) batteries. When the low battery indicator appears on the LCD, battery replacement is needed. After the icon appears on the LCD, in-spec measurement can still be made for several hours before becoming inaccurate. 1.
