3. Preface
The flux of light received in a unit area of a certain side
being shown is popularly known as illumination. The
measuring unit in both United Kingdom and America is
known as footcandles light, but in Europe it is also
known as meter candlelight.
One foofcandles light is the illumination of light that
falls on one side which is one foot away from a one
foot-candlelight and exactly intersecting with the light.
Its abbreviated form is written as 1 Fc=1 Lm/ft, similarly,
one-meter candlelight is the illumination of light that falls
on a side which is one meter away from a one meter
candlelight and exactly intersecting the light. lt is also
called Lux i,e. the flux of light being received in each sq.
meter is called the illumination of one lumen.
1 FC=10.764 LUX, 1 LUX=0.09290 FC,
therefore,Nbr. of foot (meter) candlelight =
Nbr. of Lumen
Area(sq. foot or sq. meter)
Nbr. of Lumen=Nbr. of foot (or meter)x area
Features
Overload lndication: LCD screen will show "OL" on
the upper left-hand corner.
Low battery lndication" I:+1".
Sampling Rate: 2.5 times per second for digital
display.
Spectial response close to CIE luminous spectral
efficiency.
Cosine Angular corrected.
According to JIS C 1609:1993 and CNS 51'19
general A class SPecifications
Measuring lights source: LED white light and all
visible light.
Measuring intensities of illumination in Lux or
footcandles.
Many applications include: Warehouses, factories,

The luminous intensity is calculated using the
following formula:
Luminous intensity(cd)=illumination(Lx)x distance(m2)
The preset maximum distance is 0.0'1 - 30'47 m
or 0.01 - 99.99 ft.
lf a single light source is used and is regarded as
a single-point light source, the luminous intensity
of the light source can be calculated and
displayed, by setting the distance from the light
source to the measuring Point.

10. Attention
o Set for referring the testing of source of light is
located at the right top end (0 degree) of the light
sensor ball plane.
When the meter is not in use, please keep the
cap of the light sensor in its place to avoid the
photo diode from wearing out.
When it is not in use for a long time, please take
the batteries away. And avoid keeping it in a
place of high temperature and humidity.
