Operation

Meter Power

Power the meter by long pressing the button. The meter will begin displaying light intensity

readings. If the LCD does not switch on, check the batteries located in the rear battery

compartment. Short press power button to turn OFF the meter.

Zero Calibrate the Sensor

1. Place the protective cover over the sensor and press the button to power on the meter.

2. If the display does not read ‘0.0’ short press the button.

3. The CAL icon will appear in the secondary display.

4. The CAL icon will switch OFF when the calibration has been completed.

5. If the protective cap is not covering the sensor when the button is pressed, the LCD

display will read “CAP”. In this case, please cover the sensor with the cap and restart this

procedure.

6. It is recommended that the meter be switched off and then on again when repeating the

zero calibration function.

Taking Measurements

Remove the sensor cover and aim the sensor toward the light source. View the measurement on

the meter’s display.

Selecting the Unit of Measure

Press the button to toggle the units between Lux and Foot-candles. The units will indicate in

the display.

Data Hold

MAX/MIN Button

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

1. Short press the button and the meter will begin tracking the maximum, average, and

minimum measurements. The MAX icon will display at the top of the LCD indicating the

meter is now showing the maximum reading. The reading will not change until a higher

reading is registered.

2. Short press the button again to switch from MAX to AVG, where the meter will show

the average measurement value. The AVG icon will display in the LCD indicating the meter

is now showing the average reading.

3. Short press the button again to change the mode from AVG to MIN, where the meter

will show the minimum measurement value. The MIN icon will display in the LCD indicating

the meter is now showing the minimum reading.

4. Short press the button to step through MAX-AVG-MIN readings.

5. To exit this mode, long press the button. The MAX/AVG/MIN display icons will switch

off, and the meter will return to normal operating mode.

Auto Power OFF (APO)

In order to conserve battery life, the meter will automatically shut off after approximately 12

minutes of inactivity. The icon will appear in the display when APO is enabled.

To turn APO on or off, with the meter powered ON, long press the button. The icon will

appear in the upper LCD when APO is enabled and disappear when APO is disabled.

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 over the light sensor. This will

prolong the life of the sensor.

When the meter is to be stored for long periods, please remove the batteries and store them

separately. Batteries can leak and cause damage to the meter’s components.

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