As with all high quality products, you must strictly follow the operating instructions given in this document to ensure long- term, trouble-free and reliable performance. The CD mon Luminance/ Illuminance Meter is a universal, compact light meter designed for quality control of viewing boxes and image display devices.
The device fulfils the requirements set forth therein for a luminance/illuminance meter according to DIN 5032 Class B. By using the spacer leg included with the CD mon device, you can include reflected ambient light in the measurements. Contact measurement is also possible.
• Contact tube • Instruction Manual Laser Classification The lasers used in the CD mon device to target the measurement point are classified in Laser Class 2 according to VDE 0837 and IEC 825. The permissible radiated power of a continuously operated laser of this class is limited to a maximum of 1 milliwatt (1 mW).
First Charging At the time of shipment, the LiPo rechargeable battery installed in the CD mon device has been factory loaded to ca. 50% of its capacity. For that reason, please recharge the LiPo rechargeable battery to full capacity before using the unit.
