the meter.
Using the Meter
1. Turn the dial clockwise to the “ON” position.
2. Hold the meter vertical for accurate readings.

2. Lift the back from the bottom of the meter.
3. Remove the old battery from the connector, and snap the
new battery in its place. Set the battery into the front half
of the case.
4. Connect the front and back of the case at the top (by the
sensor).
5. Close the case and tighten the two screws.

Foot-Candle meters measure light intensity as perceived by
the human eye. The eye perceives light of approximately 560
nm most strongly, with perception half that at 500 and 600
nm.
The meters display values in the range 0-1999. This must be
multiplied by 10 to obtain Foot-Candles, so the meter range is
0-19990 Foot-Candles. Since 1 Foot-Candle is equivalent to
approximately 10.8 lux, multiplying the meter reading by 108
will compute lux.
