4.2 DISPLAY AND ICONS
The AccuMAX meter uses a liquid crystal display (LCD) with a combination of easy-to-read icons and alphanumeric
characters to denote readings, units, operating mode and meter status in a four-line format. UV and VIS level
readings are automatically adjusted for the magnitude of the measurement (autoranging) and then displayed with the
appropriate 4-digit resolution units. For example: 12,000 µW/cm
2
would be displayed as 12.00 mW/cm
2
. This enables
the readout unit to accept and respond to a wide range of light levels. Icons provide a quick glance at data type and
the available functions at every operational screen.
•The sealed membrane keypad on the readout meter is equipped with five pressure-
sensitive buttons that provide multiple functions and easy operation. The ON/OFF
button turns the meter on and off. The four side-by-side buttons provide intuitive
customer interactive functions.
•The instrument will automatically turn itself off to preserve the battery life if no buttons
are pressed for 60 minutes.
