3.4 Power On/Off
The LM195 will perform a self-test calibration check when powered
up. This requires a completely dark environment so the protective
sensor cap must be left on the sensor when the meter is powered
up.
With the sensor cap fitted, press
flash on the LCD for a few seconds, followed by CAL. Once a value
of 0.0 appears on the LCD, the calibration is complete. Remove the
sensor cap and place it behind the sensor head on the fixing mount.
The LM195 is now ready for use. To switch off the LM195, press the
button and hold for 3 seconds until the unit has powered off.
Please note: If ERR1 appears on the LCD during the self-test
calibration, check that the sensor cap is securely fixed over the
sensor and start the Power-On process again.
3.5 Auto Power Off (APO)
If the unit is inactive for a period of 30 minutes, it will automatically
power off.
