    2.4. ON/OFF KEY A long press on the key switches the instrument on. A second long press on the key switches the instrument off when it is on. However, it is not possible to switch the instrument off when it is in record mode and is recording. If during start-up the instrument displays the screen shown opposite, it means that a recording session has been brutally interrupted by a power outage.

  • Page 16: Technical Characteristics

    The illumination sensor is a silicon (Si) photodiode of which the spectral response is corrected by an optical filter. The directional response is ensured by a diffusing lens. The C.A 1110 is a class C lux meter per standard NF C-42-710. 5.2.1. ILLUMINATION MEASUREMENTS Specified measure- 0.1 to 200,000lx...
  • Page 17 The error on the spectral response of the sensor is equal to the area of the differences between the V(l) curve and the curve of the sensor. 5.2.4. VARIATION ACCORDING TO THE TYPE OF LIGHT SOURCE The C.A 1110 provides 3 measurement compensations: „ Illuminant A (default). „ LED at 4000°K „...
