5. How To Afx The Transparent Chart (Example)
(1) Print the chart data (PDF) onto a transparency. (Select the horizontal printing direction.)
(2) Nine charts will be printed on one sheet.
(3) Cut out each chart in a small enough size to afx on the luminance box.
(4) Creasing the chart as shown below makes the sheet easier to adhere to the diffuser panel. (See
below)
(5) Secure the chart in place with a magnet so that the chart is afxed to the diffuser panel. (See
below)
* Make sure that the chart is fully adhered on the diffuser panel.
