Device was approved by Polish Central Office of Measures (decision no. RP T 02 196). Luxmeter L-100 is designed for measurement illuminance in range from 0.001 lx to 300 000 lx, but after installing proper adapter - for measurement luminance. There are three kinds of luminance adapters with different field apertures: 1°, 3°, 10°. -

Measure window Measure window includes: • measure state indicator: pause, run, • range overflow indicator, • measured quantity symbol: illuminance luminance, luminous exposure (time integral of the illuminance), time integral of the luminance, •... -
Page 8: Measured Value Logarithmic Bar
4.2. Measured value logarithmic bar Measured value bar: is placed in upper part of the result screen. Bar is displayed during illumination measure without relative measure or statistics option selected. It includes scale that covers whole measuring range and strip of fulfillment. Doted part of scale covers lower range. If strip of fulfillment is in this area it signifies, that measurement is possible with greater resolution on lower range. -

After turning on this option, new window for setup reference value opens. Window contains last meas- ured value by default for reference: Edit can be made by passing numeric values directly from alphanumerical keyboard. Position of cursor can be modified by key . -
Page 11: Autorange
5.1.2.1. Autorange Function: turns on/off automatic measurement range control. Turning off this option is equal to set manual measurement range control. In this case single measure mode will be set automatically. 5.1.2.2. Zero setting Function: compensates photo detector dark current. WARNING! Zero setting can be made only after covering measure probe. -

Luminance mode can be set only for probes that are compatible with this mode. In other case instrument does not allow to setup that option (includes RF-100 and probes not equal to G.L-100). For luminance option, all types of instrument operations are available. Besides all setup option, integral values and statistics are memorized. -
Page 13: Memory
Editing date value is done like edit process of real time clock setup. During alarm message edit process, directly from keyboard alphanumeric keys are available base characters (digits, dot and space). Additionally with all keys, user can input three different characters that are placed at left part of the key. Switching through differ- ent key functions is done by using menu keys: , that background color is same as input special characters. -

. First, data plate with manufacturer data and firmware version is displayed: Fig. 9. L-100 luxmeter data plat.e In this time measure probe is initialized, progress of initialization is signalized by stripping bar on the bottom of LCD screen. Short beep is generated when initialization completes. Data plate can be turned off by pressing any button. -

Alarm message window can be closed by key . Instrument setup is initialized from values saved during power off. Last statistics and integrals are also reinitialized. It also refers to entered com- ments values and positions of MENU pointer. Instrument is in PAUSE mode. 5.3. -
Page 17: Measures Memory
5.5. Measures memory Luxmeter L-100 is provided with internal 32kB non-volatile memory, which is used to store results of measurement. Memory is divided into 512 cells. One cell can hold one measure. At saving process, user can add own comment to the cell. Maximum comment size is 16 characters. -
Page 18: Working Without Measure Probe
This procedure is omitted if meter will be turned off by battery extraction. COMMUNICATION WITH PC Connecting luxmeter L-100 to PC is realized through RS-232C connector (Fig. 2) and cable provided together with the device. 6.1. -

(separator character is tabulator). POWER SUPPLY Luxmeter L-100 is powered through single 9V battery. It is recommend to use alkaline batteries with big capacity of the 6LR61 type or similar. They assure 20 hours of non-interrupted instrument work. -
Page 20: Warranty And Repairs
WARRANTY AND REPAIRS Luxmeter L-100 is shipped with one year warranty from day of purchase. It does not require any special maintenance treatments. All repairs of the instrument are performed by the manufacturer 10. CE MARKING AND CONFORMANCE TO EU COUCIL DIRECTIVES... -

11. APPENDIX A: Photometric probe G.L-100 Photometric probe G.L-100 is designed to operate with instrument type L-100 or RF-100. It has possibility to connect additional adapter for measuring luminance. It is designed for measure natural and artificial illuminance and after connecting proper adapter for measure illumination. -
Page 22: Appendix B: Luminance Measure Adapter Pl1.-Rf100
Adapter PL1.RF-100 is device that changes illuminance meter into luminance one. Adapter is designed to co-operate with all measure probes that consider luminance/radiance measure mode (for example. G.L-100, G.BLH-100 e.t.c.). Operating complex- ity and low price makes alternative solution for more expensive classic luminance meters.
