3. PANEL DESCRIPTION
1. LCD display: 1999 counts LCD display with LUX, fc, LOBAT, MAX, HOLD
indication
2. Power /function /range switch: Turn power ON or OFF and select
measurement function and ranges.
3. Photo Detector: long life silicon photo diode inside
4. MAX. HOLD: If you press the MAX. button, the maximum reading will be held.
Press once again the button, will release the hold and allow a
further measurement.

5. DATA HOLD: The reading will be held when Data Hold button Switch is pressed.
If the button Switch is pressed once again, will release the hold
and allow a further measurement.
6. Function button: Selects measurement functions of Lux or fc
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTION
Measuring Light
1. Turn the power/function/range switch to select the range to desired (x1 lux/fc ,
x10lux/fc, x100lux/fc ) range.
2. Remove the photo detector to light source in a horizontal position.
3. Read the illuminance nominal from the LCD display.
4. Over-range: If the instrument only display one “1” in the M.S.D. the input signal is
too strong, and a higher range should be selected.
5. When the measurement is completed. Replace the photo detector from the light
source.
6. Spectral sensitivity characteristic: To the detector, the applied photo diode with
filters makes the spectral sensitivity characteristic almost meet C.I.E. (International
Commission on Illumination) photopia curve V (λ) as the following chart
described.
