4.1
• Keep the white plastic domed cosine corrector clean and free of any
scratches. It may be cleaned with a soft cloth and a little water or iso-
propyl alcohol.
• 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.
4.2
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).
