The meter measures the intensity of the light (illuminance) that strikes the sensor dome in foot‐candles and Lux units (1 fc = 10.76 lux), displaying this measured value on its LCD. 3. Position the meter and light source so that the light strikes the sensor dome straight on (perpendicular) with as little an angle as possible. 4. The meter’s display can show a value up to 9999. However, for readings that represent measurements higher than this, the meter uses x10 or x100 feature. For example, to represent a measurement of 11,000 fc the meter will display 1100 with the x10 indicator.
