1. Introduc on: Thank you for choosing the ILT2500. The ILT2500 internal Datalight so ware was designed to be simplis c enough for easy touch screen opera on and advanced enough to meet the needs of researchers and scien sts. The ILT2500 works with hundreds of sensor/filter/op c combina ons and can be run using internal or PC so ware making it extremely versa le.

3D. Top: Contains the sensor mount, a 15-Pin D-Sub connector and posts for securing the sensor to the device. The ILT2500 is backwards compa ble with all “D” style sensors with the excep on of PMT's and SHD Low light level sensors. To connect the sensor, align the sensor’s male 15 pin connector to the meter’s female connector and apply slight...

Place the un-covered sensor in the test loca on. Cover the test light source, or turn it off. Press Zero. The ILT2500 will take a measurement and subtract that value from all future readings un l zero is pressed again.
3.0 device. A full charge is obtained in approximately 12 - 14 hours. Meter will charges the fastest when the power bu3on is in the off posi on. The ILT2500 circuit is design to prevent over charge. The ILT2500 has a low power indicator that will advise when the ba3ery needs recharging.
D-sub connector that includes the model and serial number of the sensor as well as calibra on informa on. The ILT2500 will have the ability to read the smart detector informa on and apply the proper calibra on factor to be used during tes ng.
• Allow extended se3ling me. • Limit noise and temperate changes in the environment. 8B. Satura on: The ILT2500 provides an autorange mechanism allowing it to measure over 8 decades of current and/or light levels. While autoranging the ILT2500 can experience satura on.
The ILT2500 can take readings as fast as 10 µsec. And when using the flash app on a PC, it can provide a sample as fast as 20 uS (Flash allows up to 4096 data points over a sample me range of 80 msec to...
fluctuate(temperature, noise, ambient ligh ng) 14C. Integrate: Is used to measure dosage or exposure. When toggled on, the ILT2500 will take the present reading and add it to the previous value, once per second, crea ng a sum of light measurements over me.
Meter (no graph) or connect to the computer and use Datalight III Meter or Flash. 15D. Auto Gain Range: On or off. The ILT2500 has 3 relays that it cycles through when auto ranging from the lowest signals in the Pico amp range to the higher signals in the micro amp to 1 milli amp range.

The user can select the range based the max current to be measured. Ie; 1 mA, 3uA or 300 nA. Each relay allows the ILT2500 to measure approximately 3-4 decades with the max being the satura on point and noise become problema c as the reading approaches .0005 from the max.

Use of altered calibra on factors can void traceability. 15Q.1. Factor Number: Numbers range from 1-20. The ILT2500 stores up to 20 calibra on factors which are selected using Factor number as shown in sec on in 15B.
16B. Downloading Stored Readings: When the ILT2500 is connected to the computer using the USB micro cable, the computer will register the ILT2500 as a device with removable storage, allowing access into the Files folder. To access saved Files using a PC, click on Start, Computer and then click double click on the “...
3. To choose and exis ng address: Use the scroll bar to highlight the address. Touch the address to apply. The address will not show in the Select Loca on box. Note: Addresses can also be imported into the ILT2500, by crea ng a custom Survey-loca ons.txt and uploading through the USB micro port.

The auto zero before integrate allows the meter to re-zero before every test which assures a correct ambient and noise subtrac on. Note that the auto-zero opera on takes approximately 0.5s so ILT2500 INSTRUMENTATION MANUAL Preliminary 8/18 17 OF 22...

Is the pulse count accurately coun ng the amount of flashes? If not, the light source may not rise fast enough to register as a pulse and only integra ons can be measured. 21. Spectrum: The ILT2500 can func on as a spectrometer when used with the MEMS880 mini spectrometer head (Not yet released )

26. Datalight so8ware for windows 7, 8 or 10 PC or MAC IOS: The ILT2500 can be connected to a computer via the USB mini port and be controlled by the external so ware as if you were using an ILT1000, ILT5000 or ILT6000 device. Datalight III so ware is available for download on the ILT website: h3p://www.intl-ligh3ech.com/support/so...
27. Care and Handling: The ILT2500 internal board is a sensi ve electronic device. Due to risk of board damage, only trained personnel should a3empt opening the housing on the ILT2500. Opening the ILT2500 by non-ILT personnel voids all warran es and may adversely affect the calibra on of the meter.
