Operation Method
5.1.2 MODE measurement and PLAN measurement
Used for hygiene control, the Lumitester PD-30 provides two measurement
methods ; simple [MODE measurement] without using a computer, and
[PLAN measurement] that can be used in a variety of situations by using the
computer and provided control software.
Press MODE key for two seconds or more to switch MODE and PLAN
measurement modes.
【MODE measurement】
Select a MODE number and perform measurement.
Level 1, Level 2, Object name and Group name can be set for each
MODE number. Refer "5.2.2 Level set." (→P16)
To set Object name and Group name, refer to the instruction manual
of the control software.
【PLAN measurement】
Select MODE numbers and perform measurement in the arranged order.
For PLAN measurement, refer to the instruction manual of the control software.
5.1.3.1 Rank judgement
Compares the measured value to Level 1and Level 2 to judge the Rank as shown below.
Rank judgement
If one of MODE 001 to 400 is selected, rank is judged based on Level 1 and Level 2, which
were set for each mode.
measured value ≦Level 1: Pass
Level 1 < measured value ≦Level 2: Caution
Level 2 < measured value : Fail
If Level 1 and Level 2 are the same, the rank is judged as pass or fail.
measured value ≦Level 1: Pass
Level 1 < measured value : Fail
Rank is not judged in the cases below:
Both Level 1 and Level 2 are zero.
Data are measured in MODE 000.
5.1.3 MODE measurement
The operation of [MODE measurement] that can be performed with the
PD-30 without PC is shown below.
For the operation of [PLAN measurement], refer to the instruction manual of
the control software.

temperature is displayed during measurement countdown.
・Even if the temperature compensation is ON, at the
temparature shown below, the error code E040 is displayed
during measurement countdown, and the measurement result
without temperature compensation is displayed.
10°C or lower
