Notification Dear Users, Thank you for your purchase of LM 300 Lensmeter. Please take time to read our user’s manual carefully before use. This guarantees you to make full use of this unit and prolongs the operation life of this unit.
1. Function Introduction This device is divided into two models, A and B, in which A is standard model and B is strengthened model with prism compensator. In the following description, all sections or content marked with “*” before them are specialized content of model B device.
This device consists of a coaxal optic system. Light sent forth from 1-Light Source (LED) lights up 2-Mark Dividing Plate. After passing though 3-Measurement Objective and 5-Telescopic Objective, 2-Mark Dividing Plate is imaged at position of 6-Eyepiece Dividing Plate. At this time, through 7-Eyepiece Set, the distinct reticule images of 2-Mark Dividing Plate and 6-Eyepiece Dividing Plate can be seen.

1. Eyepiece Eyepiece part is a screw type focusing unit with focusing range of ±5D, adaptable to different eye-sights of human eyes. *2. Prism Compensator It is used to measure prism lens with prism degree bigger than 5∆. 3. Lens Pressing Mechanism 3 plastic pressing feet equipped with spring are used to press lens, able to stably press lens with any shape of surface, with no damage to lens surface.

12. Lens Pushing Hand Lever It is used to move lens pushing board back and forth. 13. Diopter Measuring Hand-wheel Drone and Eyepiece Dividing Plate (Fig.4) Round-dot drone Cross-line drone Fig. 4 14. Liquid Crystal Display Screen It displays diopter value of the measured lens. 15.
Liquid Crystal Display Screen (Fig 5) Fig. 5 17. Reset Key RST Pressing this key, it returns from other mode of measurement to the mode ready to Operate. 18. Measurement Switching Key +/ When cylindrical lens is measured, pressing this key will realize switching of light intensity of cylindrical lens degree.

Measurement of Lens 4.2.1 Measurement of Spherical Lens 1. Confirm the mode of cylindrical lens measurement, and turn diopter measuring hand-wheel to obtain distinct drone focus. Prompt If it is mode of cylindrical lens measurement, press measurement switching key S/C to switch it to mode of cylindrical lens measurement, the device will sends out sound of “DuDu”...

are weakest refractive power and strongest refractive power on two mutually vertical sections. When this device is used to measure such kind of lens, two long green lines and three long green lines of drone cannot be focused to be clear simultaneously. Measurement shall be conducted according to following procedures: 1.

4.2.4 Measurement of Prism Lens Measuring prism degree of prism lens consists of 2 ranges: 0 ~ 5 degrees and 5 ~ 20 degrees of prism. 1. In the range of 0 ~ 5 degrees of prism, the value is read directly on the eyepiece dividing plate.

2. Lightly move lens so that drone is at center of eyepiece visual field. 3. Make 3-dot mark using dot-making mechanism. 4.3.2 Calibration of Cylindrical Lens 1. Turn astigmatism turning hand-wheel to show required angle on the liquid crystal display screen. 2.
dormancy. To resume measurement, press any measuring key, or turn diopter measuring hand-wheel. Prompt When the device is in the state of automatic dormancy, the measured data will not been liminated. Setting Grades of Measurement Measuring grades of this device involve 4 grades: 0.01D, 0.06D, 0.12D and 0.25D. By pressing adjusting key ADJ first, and then pressing measurement switching key +/-, one can see these 4 grades of measurement (0.01D, 0.06D, 0.12D and 0.25D) are switched in circulation.
