8. AccuMAX OPERATION MODES
With OPERATION highlighted, press ENTER to
access operational screens.
8.1 ABSOLUTE DATA / NORMAL MODE
When a detector is attached, AccuMAX automatically
begins operating in NORMAL mode after
OPERATION is selected. This mode will measure
the absolute total light intensity the sensor is
exposed to, including any background or ambient
light.
• The A light bulb icon indicates the readings are
ABSOLUTE values.
• The running man icon indicates that the meter is
operating in real time.
• The bars indicate battery power level.
•The UV reading will display in whole numbers from
0 to 9999.
•The visible reading will display in floating decimal
format in a maximum of four digits.
• If the incoming light exceeds the maximum
measurement range of the sensor, OVR RNG will
be displayed. Any signal that goes below the
detector's minimum sensitivity or "zero floor" will
display 0.00 on the LCD.
8.2 HOLD AND PEAK FUNCTIONS
Press HOLD to freeze the reading. The open hand
icon will appear.
Press PEAK to display the highest readings recorded
during normal operation. The mountain peak icon will
appear.
When in PEAK function, press LIVE to return to
NORMAL mode, or press BACK to return to the
previous HOLD screen, and press BACK again to
return to NORMAL mode.
NOTE: Pressing BACK will always result in returning
to the previous screen.
8.3 ZERO MODE
AccuMAX can automatically subtract "unwanted"
ambient light values by selecting the ZERO mode.
While in the NORMAL mode, press ZERO. The Z
light bulb icon will appear. Once the meter is allowed
to stabilize, the readings will display zero values, and
all subsequent readings will be relative and based
on this subtracted zero light level.
NOTE: The meter will immediately begin registering
any subsequent changes in light level.
