Page 11: Operation
Avoid reflections or shadows from your body onto the sensor, when light is emitted from many directions. • For best accuracy, repeat measurements several times to ensure that the light source is stable. • Avoid flexing the cable excessively at either end. Operating Instructions 1. Slide the function switch to the desired lux or fc (foot-candle) setting. 2. Select the appropriate range or, if in doubt, select the highest setting (klux or kfc). 3. Remove the sensor head cover. 4. Hold the sensor head steady and make sure that the light completely fills the cosine correction white dome. 5. Move away from the sensor head to avoid shadowing it. The sensor head has a 5 ft (1.5m) extension cable to allow separation between the case and the unobstructed measurement location. 6. Press the RANGE button until an optimum reading range is obtained. 7. Read the illuminant value directly from the display. 8. When finished, slide the function switch to OFF and cover the sensor head (extends the sensor life).
