5. MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES
5.1. POWER BUTTON:
nPress the “ ” button to turn ON or turn off.
5.2. BUTTON:
nPress the “ ”button for the zero adjustment if
any digits is appear.
5.3. BUTTON:
nBTU (ft2*h) or W/m2unit selection.
5.4. DATA HOLD BUTTON:

TIS PV1
the “ ” button, and “2000” or your acquired
value then comes up.
6. TEST PROCEDURE
nPress the ZERO button for the zero adjustment
if any digits is appear
nIf performing the zero adjustment after powering
on, several digits may not disappear. In this
case, perform the zero adjustment again.
nMeasure your car’s headlights:
nTurn ON your car’s headlights. Then turn ON the
solar meter and “000.0” appears on the screen.
Put the device down close to the headlights.
Switch between high beam and low beam, and
light intensity values appear on the screen. Both
the right and left headlights must be tested. Note
the values and put them in your car for reference.
(Picture 2)
nMeasure the effect of solar insulation of your
vehicle’s windows:
EN-5

TIS PV1
nPress the “ ” button to turn ON the solar meter,
“000.0” appears on the screen. Aim the device at
the sun and close to a window, and the intensity
appears on the screen. Open the window and
aim the device at the sun. Compare the value
against that acquired when the window is closed
to understand the efficiency of the window’s solar
film. Test your new car and preserve the
measurements in it. After that, test it at least once
every year. (Picture 2)
nNOTE:When the light sensor cover is not
attached “CAP” is indicated. Make sure that it is
attached. If performing the zero adjustment after
powering on, several digits may not disappear. In this
case, perform the zero adjustment again.

nClose the window. Press the “ ” button on
your solar meter, and “000.0” comes up on the
screen. Put the device close to the window and
aim it at the sun. Compare the value against that
acquired when the window is closed and the
device is placed at the same position, in order to
understand the window’s heat efficiency.
