INSTRUCTION
¾The digital illuminance meter is a precision instrument
used to measure illuminance (Lux, footcandle) in the
field.
¾It is meet CIE photopic spectral response.
¾It is fully cosine corrected for the angular incidence of
light.
¾The illuminance meter is compact, tough and easy to
handle owing to its construction.
¾The light sensitive component used in the meter is a
very stable, long-life silicon photo diode and spectral
response filter.
FEATURES
¾Light-measuring levels ranging form
0.1Lux~0.1kLux/0.01FC~0.01kFC,repeatedly.
¾High accuracy and rapid response.
¾Data-hold function for holding measuring values.
¾Unit and sign display for easy reading.
¾Automatic zeroing.
¾Meter corrected for spectral relative efficiency.
¾Correction factor need not be manually calculated for
non-standard light sources.

3. UNITS key: Pressing this key selects taking
measurement of illuminance in Lux or FC
scale(1FC =10.76 LUX).
4. BACK-LIGHT and LOAD control key: Back light
control and load the records.
5. REC and SET key: memory the values or set
the time , the sampling rate, and Enable the
AUTO power off or ont.
6. Peak Hold key: Peak Hold recorder control key.
7. Data-Hold key: Data Hold control key.
8. RANGE key: change the range. 400.0lux ->
4000lux ->40,000lux ->400,000lux(40.00FC
->400.0FC ->4000FC ->40,000FC).
9. MAX/MIN key: Maximum and minimum reading
recorder control key.
10. REL key: Relative reading control key.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Power-up: Press the power key to turn the meter ON or
OFF.
2. Selecting the Lux or FC scale: Set the range selection
switch to desired Lux or FC range.
7
3. Remove the photo detector cap and face it light source
in a horizontal position.
4. Press the REC/SET key and RANGE/APO key,
Enable the AUTO power off or Disable this function.
5. Read the illuminance nominal from the LCD display.
6. Over range: If the instrument only displays “OL”, the
input signal is too strong, and a higher range should be
selected. The range will show on the down of the LCD,
LUX :400 -> 4K -> 40k -> 400k; FC: 40 -> 400-> 4k ->
40k.
7. Data-Hold mode: Press the hold key to select Data-Hold
mode. When HOLD mode is selected, the illuminance
meter stops all further measurements. Press the HOLD
key again to exit Data-Hold mode. Then it resumes
normal operation.
8. Peak-Hold mode: Press the PEAK key to choose
Pmax or Pmin recorder mode, and expose the photo
detector to light pulse measuring field. Press the PEAK
key again to exit PEAK recorder mode, then the meter
will resume normal operation.
9. Maximum and Minimum mode: Press MAX/MIN key to
choose the Maximum (MAX) reading, Minimum (MIN)
reading and current reading (MAX/MIN blink) recorder
mode. Press MAX/MIN key again to exit this mode.
10. Relative reading mode: Press REL key to enter Relative
mode. The display shown zero value and the current
reading will be stored as a zero-in value. Press again to
exit this mode.
11. USB mode: connect with pc with USB ,the “ ” will
displays in the screen.
12. Back-light function: Press the Backlight key to turn
on. Press again to turn off.
13. When the measurement is completed, replace the photo
detector cap and turn the meter off.

Press the MEM/SETUP and UNITS key start to
setup the time and sampling . The first setup target is
The hour
Press key”PEAK or REL “ to choose the object of the
setting
Press “REL” key to choose object to repeat as below
process: Hour->minter->second-> sampling-> month ->
day ->week -> year ->hour …….
Press PEAK key to choose the object and repeat as
below process:
8
9
Hour ->year ->week -> day -> month ->sampling
->second ->minter ->hour -.>year ……..
Press MAX/MIN key to add object of setting
Press HOLD key to reduce the object of seting
Hold key of MEM/SETUP and UNITS to exit the setting
time and sampling mode, and then confirm .
15. MEM function:
Press key of MEM/SET to save the present data.
HOLD key of LOAD 5s start to load the records
Press key of MAX/MIN to add the number of records.
Press key of HOLD to reduce the number of records.
After you do that you must hold the key of LOAD 5s to
resume normal operation .
16. DATALOGGER function:
SETUP the time and sampling rate first, the default
sampling rate is 1s.
Hold the key of MEM/SETUP 5s, start the datalogger
function, the MEM on the screen will be bicker. If the
memory IC is full ,the memory number will show ‘OL’.
Press the key of MEM/SETUP 5s , stop the datalogger
function , then the meter will resume normal operation.
Then the datalogger number will return to 1, you could
start your records again.

17. HOLD the key of MEM/SETUP and LOAD 5s to clear
the 99 memory .
BATTERY CHECK-UP & REPLACEMENT
1. As the battery power is not sufficient, LCD will display
low battery, and replacement of one new battery is
required.
2. After turning off the meter, disconnect the battery cover
with a screwier.
3. Disconnect the battery from the instrument and replace
it with a standard 9V battery and go for the cover.
SPECTRAL SENSITIVITY CHARACTERISTIC
¾To the detector, the applied photo diode with filters
makes the spectral sensitivity characteristic
almost meet C.I.E.(INTERNATIONAL
COMMISSION ON ILLUMINATION) Photo
curve V () as the following chart described.
