Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech LT45 LED Light Meter that measures light from LED

lamps in addition to fluorescent, metal halide, high-pressure sodium and incandescent sources. The

LT45 is capable of measuring the illumination of white, red, yellow, green, and blue LEDs up to

400,000 Lux (40,000 Fc).

The LT45 can also calculate luminous intensity (CD) using a distance-to-the-light value programmed

by the user in meters or feet units.

The LT45 can store up to 99 readings for later recall and includes Overload indication, Battery status

icon, Data hold, Maximum/Average/Minimum (MAX/MIN) tracking, push-button Zero calibration

adjustment, Auto Power off (with disable function), and auto ranging features.

This instrument is shipped fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years of

needed to represent the reading two additional (smaller) digits appear to the right of the

larger digits, e.g. 399900.

LUX/FC/CD Units

Momentary presses of the LUX/FC/CD button toggles Lux and FC (foot-candles) units. Press and

off). To re-enable the Auto Power OFF utility, repeat this process. The Clock symbol will switch

ON when the Auto Power OFF utility is re-enabled.

Zero Calibration

1. Ensure that the protective cover is attached to the light sensor.

3. Momenarily press and the ADJ (adjusting) icon will switch ON indicating

that the zero adjustment (calibration) is working. When the calibration is finished, the ADJ

icon will switch OFF and the meter will return to the normal operating mode.

4. If the protective cap is not covering the sensor when the ZERO calibration is started the LCD

In this case, please cover the sensor with the cap and restart this

procedure.

MAX/AVG/MIN Memory Mode

The meter can record the maximum, minimum, and average readings as described below:

1. Momentarily press the MAX/AVG/MIN button and the meter will begin to track the

indicating that the meter is now displaying the minimum reading. The reading will not

change until a lower reading is registered.

icon will be displayed.

4. Press the

To exit this mode, press and hold the button for at least 2 seconds. The MAX/AVG/MIN icons

should all be switched OFF when the unit returns to the normal operating mode.

Memory Record/Read Mode

1. Momentarily press the Mem/Read button to store a reading. The LCD will display a small M

icon on the lower left-hand area of the LCD along with the memory location number (1 to

99) representing the storage location for the recorded reading. Up to 99 readings can be

stored.

2. To review (read) the stored readings, press and hold the Mem/Read button until the MEM

icon appears at the top of the LCD. Now use the arrow buttons to scroll through the stored

readings. The

lower left-hand corner of the LCD while the main display digits show the stored reading for

the selected memory location.

3. To store an average (AVG) reading, first access the AVG mode (See MIN/MAX/AVG section of

this guide) and while an average reading is displaying (AVG icon switched ON), momentarily

press the Mem/Read button for one second. The LCD will display AVG M and the memory

location number (1 to 99) indicating that an average reading has been stored in the

numbered memory location.

4. When a stored reading is an AVG value, the screen will display AVG on the lower left-hand

corner.

5. Momentarily press the Mem/Read button to exit the Memory mode and return to the

Luminous Intensity (CD) Measurements

1. Press the On/Off button to turn power ON.

2. Press and hold the LX/FC/CD s unit designator switches to CD.

3. Use the arrow buttons to select ft (feet) or m (meter) units to represent the distance the

sensor will be from the light source.

4. Momentarily press the LX/FC/CD button; the smaller digits (lower-right hand corner of LCD)

will switch ON, these digits represent the distance to the light source.

5. Use the arrow buttons to set the distance from the center of the lamp to the measurement

base level. Press and hold an arrow button to scroll quickly.

6. Momentarily press the LX/FC/CD button.

7. Remove the protective sensor cap and place the sensor perpendicular to the light at the

programmed distance.

8. Read the Luminous Intensity calculation on display.

9. Press and hold the LX/FC/CD button to exit this mode.

Luminous Intensity = illumination (Lx) x distance (ft2 or m2)

The programmable distance range is 0.01 ~ 30.47 m (0.01 ~ 99.99 ft.)

Light Source (L.S.) Selection

There are 10 light source selections (L0 L9) each having a unique calibration correction factor

(multiplier). See the Light Source list below. The multipliers for locations L0 through L6 are fixed

for the lighting types listed. Locations L7 through L9 are extra locations that the user can

customize (with a multiplier from 0.001 to 1.999). To change the light source (L.S.) selection:

1. Press and hold the Hold/LS button for 2 seconds. The light source code, at the bottom center

of the LCD, will flash. Use the arrow buttons to select L0

(correction factor) will be shown to the right of the Lx value (L8 1000, for example).

2. To customize a location, select L7, L8 or L9 and, once selected, momentarily press the

Hold/LS button to enter the multiplier programming mode. Now use the arrow keys to

change the multiplier. Press and hold an arrow button to scroll faster.

3. When finished, press and hold the Hold/LS button for at least 1 second to confirm the edit

and exit this mode.

Measurement Considerations and User Tips

For maximum accuracy allow the light being measured to fall directly on the sensor as

perpendicular as possible with a minimal angle of incidence.

When the meter is not in use, please keep the protective cap in place, covering the light sensor.

This will prolong the life of the sensor.

When the meter is to be stored for long periods, please remove the battery and store it

Avoid areas of high temperature and humidity when using this instrument.

See Specifications for accuracy with angular deviation.

Battery Replacement and Maintenance

Cleaning and storage

1. The white plastic sensor dome should be cleaned with a damp cloth when necessary. Use

only a mild soap if needed. Do not use solvents, abrasives, or harsh detergents to clean the

dome.

2. Store the meter in an area with moderate temperature and relative humidity.

Battery Replacement

When the battery power decreases to a critical level, the battery symbol will appear as empty on

the LCD. Replace the 9V battery located in the rear battery compartment. The battery

compartment slides easily downward for removal (in the direction of the printed arrow on the

rear of the meter). Ensure that the compartment cover is securely fastened before using the

meter.

Safety: Please dispose of batteries responsibly; never dispose of batteries in a fire, batteries may

explode or leak. If the meter is not to be used for 60 days or more, remove the battery and store

separately.
