- Page 3 Meter Operation 1. Turn the dial clockwise to the “ON” position. Dual mode meters (3415FQF, 3415FSE, 3415FXSE, 3415SQF, 3415SSE, 3415SSXE) have two “on” settings, one to ei- ther side of “OFF”. 2. Hold the meter (or for the 3415FXSE & 3415SXSE, the sensor) vertical for accurate readings.
- Page 4 PAR Light Photosynthesis is driven primarily by photos of light with wave- lengths between 400 and 700 nanometers, which is referred to as Photosynthetically Active Radiation, or PAR light. Because a quantum is the amount of energy possessed by a photon, PAR light is sometimes labeled quantum light.
- Page 5 Foot-Candles Foot-Candle meters measure light intensity as perceived by the human eye. The eye perceives light of approximately 560 nm most strongly, with perception half that at 500 and 600 nm. The meters display values in the range 0-1999. This must be multiplied by 10 to obtain Foot-Candles, so the meter range is 0-19,990 Foot-Candles.
- Page 6 Cosine Correction Because the detected light intensity is dependent on the an- gle of the incoming rays, the sensor must be constructed to minimize this error. This is called cosine correction because the radiant intensity of the incident light is dependent on the cosine of the angle between the sun and an imaginary verti- cal line extending from the ground.
