INSTRUCTION ¾ The digital illuminance meter is a precision instrument used to measure illuminance (Lux, footcandle) in the field. ¾ It is meet CIE photopic spectral response. ¾ It is fully cosine corrected for the angular incidence of light. ¾ The illuminance meter is compact, tough and easy to handle owing to its construction.
¾ Short rise and fall times. ¾ Peak-hold function for tracing the peak signal of light pulse with least duration 10 s and keep it. ¾ Capable of selecting measuring mode in Lux or FC scale alternatively. ¾ Auto power off 15minutes or disable AUTO power off. ¾...

Remove the photo detector cap and face it light source in a horizontal position. Press the REC/SET key and RANGE/APO key, Enable the AUTO power off or Disable this function. Read the illuminance nominal from the LCD display. Over range: If the instrument only displays “OL”, the input signal is too strong, and a higher range should be selected.

MAINTENANCE The white plastic disc on the top of the detector should be cleaned with a damp cloth when necessary. Do not store the instrument where temperature or humidity is excessively high. The reference level, as marker on the face plate, is the tip of the photo detector globe.
