5. Operation


Place the sensor box close to the experi-
ment.

Read off the light intensity value on the
display of the 3B NETlog

If the light intensity exceeds the measure-
ment range, switch to the next higher
range.
0 to 600 lx / 0.8 lx
0 to 6000 lx / 8 lx
0 to 150000 lx / 200 lx
Silicon photodiode with
low dark current
Typically 0.65 µA at
100 lx
Max. ±1 % of the total
measurement range
Typically 10 kHz
