4. Operation instructions
1. First the battery has to be connected, then the button
“ON” has to be pressed.
2. The range selection switch has to be pressed to the
desired range.
3. The photo detector cap has to be removed and faced to
the light source in a horizontal position.
4. Now the test value can be read from the display.
5. Over range means: if the instrument only displays “1” in
the LCD, the input signal has been too strong and a higher
range should be selected.
6. Data-Hold mode: the HOLD- key (also ON/OFF-key)
has to be pressed to select the HOLD mode. In this case,
the instrument stops all further measurements and the test
value with hold on the LCD. If the button HOLD is pressed
again, the hold value will be cancelled.
7. When the measurement is completed, the photo
detector cap has to be put on again and the power has to
be turned off.
