Structure of Progressive Multifocal Lens < A lens before processing > Lens Table Near Center Far Center [Structure of single progressive lens] INFORMATION Horizontal line of a lens shall be placed parallel to the lens table. INFORMATION As shown on the [Picture: Structure of single progressive lens] above, distance viewing zone of the lens shall be placed near the lens table.
HLM-9000 INFORMATION Sizes of progressive multifocal lenses vary according to manufacturers. INFORMATION Some of the old type progressive lenses do not comply with 2~3mm standard toward the frame center. INFORMATION Do not pick up the lens during measurement. Fixating angle of lens holder must be maintained.
[Progressive band for autonomous judgment] The icon on the bottom left of the screen will change as the below (‘no lens’ -> ‘progressive lens’). Then, the screen will automatically convert to progressive lens measurement screen. [Change of status icon] INFORMATION When progressive power is smaller than 1D, automated judgment might not work.
HLM-9000 Adjust the lens left-right or upward-downward so the cross mark is located on the distance viewing zone target center. Distance viewing zone power will be auto-saved when the cross mark reaches the distance viewing zone target center, and it will move on to near viewing zone measurement.
Page 54
Move the lens to near viewing zone. For an eyeglass lens with erased marker, push until the leg on the lens holder reaches the bottom frame of the eyeglass. INFORMATION For an eyeglass lens, it is advisable to pull the lens using the lens table while maintaining parallel to the lens table.
HLM-9000 INFORMATION (Case 1) For eyeglass lens with small frame, pull up the lens holder and pull a little more to find the near viewing zone center since the near viewing zone center is nearby the bottom frame. ([Picture: Small eyeglass lens])

HLM-9000 Move the lens to the second focal center, and progressive value will be measured automatically. INFORMATION If auto-measurement does not work on each stage, or if you want to measure manually, press ’MEM’ button to progress to the next step.
Remove moisture of contact lens using a clean lens towel. In the case of Soft Contact Lens, It can be torn easily. So, remove moisture with touches lightly. Place the lens on the Contact Lens Support. The convex surface shall face the top. Adjust so the cross mark on the screen is located on the center of the concentric circle.
Page 61
HLM-9000 - Place the Wet Measuring Kit after removing the Lens Support. Check if the reading on the kit in normal mode is “S 0D ±0.25”. - If reading has a tolerance bigger than “S 0D±0.5”, the kit is considered damaged and reading is not reliable.
Page 62
Remove lens support and place the Kit. Turn the device into contact lens measuring mode. Press ‘DRY’ button to select the proper percentage of water content. Select the function percentage for the lens and proceed with the measurement. (38% , 45% , 58% Measurement for one-day lens selects 58% regardless of the water content.

If the measured field strength in the location in which the HLM-9000 is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the HLM- 9000 should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the HLM-9000.

RF transmitter, field inspection is required. If the electric intensity used by the HLM-9000 that is measured at the outside of the shielded location exceeds 3 V/m, then it is necessary to observe and verify whether HLM-9000 operates normally. If abnormal operation is observed, then re-place HLM-9000 or use other shielded location that has increasingly higher RF shield effect and filter decrease.
