Switch-on and measurements
1. Press the Power button(7).
ð The display will be switched on and the device ready for
operation.
ð In case of poor lighting conditions the display
illumination switches on automatically. The display
illumination is controlled by the sensor(6).
Info
Please note that the photosensor(1) should preferably
be held at an angle of 90° to the light source. Any
other angle could falsify the measurement result.
2. Point the device at the area to be measured.
ð The measured value will be displayed in real time.
ð Depending on the scale of the measured value, the
factor x10(9) or x100(8) may also be indicated.
ð If the measured value exceeds the measuring range
(>40klx or 4000fc), the display readsOL or VO.
3. If a factor(8, 9) is displayed, the displayed measured
value(10) must be multiplied by the factor in order to
obtain the correct value.
Info
Please note that moving from a cold area to a warm
area can lead to condensation forming on the device's
circuit board. This physical and unavoidable effect can
falsify the measurement. In this case, the display
shows either no measured values or they are incorrect.
Wait a few minutes until the device has become
adjusted to the changed conditions before carrying out
a measurement.
