1. UNPACKING AND FIRST TIME USE
Congratulations on your choice of an AutoLight Plus MAGNETIC Light Tint Meter. Please
take the time to read this User's Guide before using the AutoLight™ Meter in the field.
Incorrect or inappropriate use of this instrument may void the warranty. Retain the packing
materials for future shipping and transport of the unit for periodic calibration.
The packing box should contain:
- AutoLight Plus MAGNETIC Light Tint Meter
- 1 x Glass check sample
- 2 x Duracell (9V) batteries (MN1604)
- USB stick including Manual and software
- Warranty registration card
- Protective Bag
2. INSTALLATION AND BATTERY CHANGE
Your AutoLight Plus MAGNETIC pack includes two 9-volt Duracell batteries in the battery
compartment accessible from the back of the light source tube. The battery must be
connected before initial use. The long-life batteries will provide up to 6 hours of continuous
use (approx. 500 tests). If standard batteries are used, anticipate a shorter period of
continuous use. This meter is fitted with a low voltage cut out to ensure an accurate power
supply to the light source. If the unit fails to operate, replace the batteries.
To replace batteries, remove screw from
cover located at the bottom of the light source.
Carefully replace both batteries. Close cover.
NOTE: Batteries must be disconnected and
removed for prolonged storage. The warranty
does not cover damage from battery leakage.
3. CHECKING READOUT
Using the glass check sample provided, check the light
transmission readout by following the three testing steps
outlined under '4. OPERATION'. When checking, align the
light source and sensor by accurately mounting the sensor
tube above the light source with the test glass in between.
The light transmission value of the test sample is marked
on the sample and should correspond to the reading of
AutoLight Plus MAGNETIC within ±3.
