Overview Thank you very much for purchasing our Digital Illuminance Meter. Prior to its use, thoroughly read this instruction manual to observe the correct way of use. Our digital illuminance meter is a small, lightweight meter and enables illuminance measurements with the meter separated from the light detector. The display adopts a large liquid crystal display (LCD) for ease in reading, and attention is also paid to operation key arrangement.
Prior to Use Checking accessories After unpacking the meter, check it for appearance and its accessories. Accessories: Instruction manual: 1 Recorder output plug (JC017A): 1 Soft-sided case (RB038A): 1 One dry cell battery (9 V) in the meter. Precautions on Handling ·...
Calibrate the meter once every two years in order to maintain accurate measurements. Calibration is done by Yokogawa. To have the meter calibrated, consult the Yokogawa sales representative from whom you purchased the instrument or the Yokogawa sales division listed on the back of this manual.

3. Selection of Units of Measurement (lx, fc) Since this illuminance meter conforms to the International System of Units (SI units), the lux (lx) is regarded as the reference unit. Some countries use the footcandle (fc) which is not an SI unit. For this reason, this illuminance meter provides a function to display readings converted to fc units with a unit selector switch.

The function can be disabled permanently if not necessary (if the meter is used continuously). Refer to the operation procedure described in “Illumi- nance Measurement.”...

3. When automatic zero adjustment is completed, [—CAL—] disappears and [0.0] appears. 4. After confirming the [0.0] display, remove the cap to start measurement. 5. After the measurement has been completed, press the switch POWER again to turn off the power, and cover the light-detecting surface with the cap for protection against stray light.
2. Read the indication, taking the meter to a bright place or turning on a light in the room. HOLD 3. To release the lock, press the switch again. This causes D–H to disappear. Timer Hold HOLD Switch, T–H This function holds the measured value after a time set in advance has elapsed.
The range configuration is as follows: to 99.9 to 999 to 9,99o to 99,9oo 0,ooo to 999,ooo o: dummy display (The o or o’s indicate the number of digits) Operation RANGE 1. Press the key to switch manual range; its range is fixed to the currently executing range.

Operation 1. Measure the reference luminous intensity and then press the key. The measured value at that time is retained in memory as a reference value. This causes [ , R-H] to appear and the measured range is fixed. After that, the deviation value is displayed. 2.
Data Output Digital data output and comparator output can be transferred out through the data output connector. The output data are illuminance measurement data, which are transmitted as BCD serial data conforming to our standard format. Modular jack, 6 positions Figure 7.

Recorder Output (Analog Output) Recorder output is connected to observation equipment (recorder, oscillo- scope, etc.), and records of illuminance variation or a light source waveform can be observed. Specifications: 999mV 5% (range fixed for full scale of each range) Load resistance of 100 k or more 1.
4. Connect the other end of the connection cable (the plug with the YOKOGAWA logo) to the light detector and confirm that the detector is locked to the connector. 5. Turn on the power to start measurement.
If repair work is necessary because of incorrect operation, consult the Yokogawa sales representative from whom you purchased the instrument or the Yokogawa sales division listed on the back of this manual. Error Massage When “Err.1” or “Err.2” massage is indicated on the display, repair work is necessary.

These characteristics are standardized to the engineering standards of a legally certified luxmeter and to JIS C 1609 standards. The relative spectrum response of an illuminance meter S ( ) is measured in 95 wavelengths at 5-nm intervals to calculate the deviation from V ( ) (fs). This method of evaluation adopts the performance evaluation of the Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage (International Commission on Illumination) (CIE).
Characteristic of Oblique Incident Light When reading a book at night, you will find that the brightness differs between reading under a lamp or light and reading a little farther from the light. At that time, you can see that the words are more legible if you turn the book toward the light.
Illuminance Measurements for Lighting Installations (Extract from JIS C 7612 standards) For general lighting, the horizontal angle of light shall be measured to obtain an average value. Unless otherwise specified, the height of the measuring surface shall be within 85 cm from the floor, 40 cm from the tatami floor in the case of a Japanese-style room, or nearly on the surface of the floor or ground in the case of a corridor or the outdoors (If it is difficult to measure the illuminance on the floor or ground, the height shall be within...
