Doing so may cause electrical shock, fire or malfunction.
When using the AC adaptor, always connect it to a power source ranging from AC
100V to 240V (50/60Hz).
Failure to follow this instruction may cause electrical shock or fire, or damage this
unit.
Use the specified AC adapter that comes with this unit.
Using a different AC adapter may cause electrical shock or fire, or damage this unit.
Do not expose this unit to water and do not handle it with wet hands.

When thunder has occurred, please do not connect an
AC/DC adaptor to an electric outlet.
Use an AC/DC adaptor only at the time of charge.
Pull out the AC/DC adaptor from an electric outlet and
remove it from a light source, when you do not use it.
Do not soil the glass of a luminescence part.
If dirt and a
crack are given to glass, light volume will
change.

8. Judgment of Measurement Result
Compare the RLU measured in 7.5 with the label display on the light source.
Note that the label display for Lumitester Smart and
Lumitester PD-20 / PD-30 are different.
<Caution>
When a light source is measured with Lumitester Smart
and Lumitester PD-20 / PD-30, the measured valuesdiffer.
Therefore, each labeled RLU for Smart and RLU for
PD-20 / PD-30 are displayed.
When measuring LuciPac series, the measurement
result is the same for Smart and PD-20 / PD-30.
Results
Treatment
When it has not improved
1
When RLU is less than
80% of a label display.
(When a RLU display is
1000: 800 or less)
There is a possibility
that the measurement
chamber of Lumitester
or the luminescence
part window of the light
source is dirty.
Clean it off.
Failure of Lumitester
or a recalibration may be
required.
Please contact
the dealer
or us.
2 When RLU is over
120% of
a label display
(When a RLU display is
1000: 1200 or more)
There is a possibility
that the measurement
chamber of Lumitester
is dirty.
Clean it off.
Failure of Lumitester
or a recalibration may be
required.
Please contact
the dealer
or us.
3 When the measured
value of a blank tube
over 10RLU.
There is a possibility
that the measurement
chamber of Lumitester
is dirty.
Clean it off.
Failure of Lumitester
or a recalibration may be
required.
Please contact
the dealer
or us.
When Lumitester doesn’t display a normal value by 1 or 2, and when it displays a
normal value by 3: The possibility of failure of a light source is also suspected.
Please send to the dealer or us together in repair of Lumitester or the case
of recalibration.

9. Maintenance
9.1 Maintenance of a light source
The surface of the luminescence part is glass.
If this part is dirty, light volume will decrease.
In such a case, wipe with a dry cloth or paper such as tissue paper.
If this part is heavily dirty, wipe with a soft cloth damped with diluted mild detergent
solution.
<Cautions>
Do not spill liquids, reagents nor organic solvents, etc. over the instrument.
If any liquid should be spilt on the instrument, wipe the liquid off immediately, dry the
instrument.
When dirt remains: Take the same treatment as the above-mentioned maintenance.
10. Troubleshooting
When abnormality is observed, remove AC power cord from outlet
immediately
When abnormalit
y is observed such as malfunction, burning smell,
fuming etc., there is a danger of fire and burst. Make sure that fumes
are extinguished, and contact the dealer or us. Never repair the
instrument by yourself, as this is very dangerous.
