SET UP Battery Installation 1 . This meter comes with a 9V battery. 2 . Slide the rear cover down to expose the battery. 3 . Gently pull out the 9V battery from the housing and install the 9V battery, ensuring correct polarity. 4 .
ZERO CALIBRATION 1 . Turn the meter on . 2 . Place the lens cap on the sensor . 3 . Press ZERO . 4 . The screen will momentarily display “Adj” to indicate your zero calibration was successful. 5 . If the screen does not display “Adj”, the calibration was not successful.
MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES 1 . Turn the meter on . 2 . Select your desired units by pressing LX/FC/CD to toggle between Lux and Footcandles.** **Note: If you want to activate the CD function, press LX/FC/CD for more than 2 seconds to activate this mode, explained on page 12.

LUMINOUS INTENSITY The luminous intensity feature of this meter allows you to directly measure the intensity in Lux over distance. Please note that this feature is based on a Lux measurement. The formula for this calculation is as follows: 1 . Luminous Intensity (CD) = (Illumination in Lux) x Distance squared 2 .
SPECTRAL SENSITIVITY Like any device that relies on the translation of a photosensor output to an electrical signal, there is an associated bandwidth. Please see the diagram below to see the spectral sensitivity of this LED light meter. The response is not the same at every wavelength and it is important to note that LED light covers many associated wavelengths.
WARRANTY Sper Scientific warrants this product against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of five (5) years from the date of purchase, and agrees to repair or replace any defective unit without charge. If your model has since been discontinued, an equivalent Sper Scientific product will be substituted if available.
