3. PREFACE
The flux of light received in a unit area of a certain side
being shone is popularly known as illumination. In both
United Kingdom and America its unit is known as
footcandles light, but in Europe it is known as meter
candlelight.
One foot-candles light is the illumination of light that
falls on one side that lies in a distance one foot away
from a one foot-candlelight and exactly intersecting the
light. Its abbreviated form is written as 1 Fc=1 Lm/ft,
similarly, one-meter candlelight is the illumination of
light that falls on a side that lies in a distance one meter
away from a one meter candlelight and exactly
intersects the light. It is also called Lux i,e. the flux of
light being received in each sq. meter is called the
illumination of one lumen.
As one foot candle=10.764 Lux, therefore,Nbr. of foot
(meter) candlelight =
Nbr. of Lumen
──────────────
Area(sq. foot or sq. meter)
Nbr. of Lumen=Nbr. of foot (or meter)x area
Foot-candle/Lux conversion
1 foot-candle=10.764 lux
1 lux=0.09290 foot-candles

6. OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Open the carrying case.
2. Press the “⊙” button to rurn power on or off
3. Remove the cap of the light sensor, Put the light
sensor at the spot where the testing of source of
light is to be conducted, auto testing will then be
conducted by the meter, read the testing value after
the reading indicated becomes stable.
4. When “OL” is shown at the highest position at the
left lateral side, overload is indicated, then please
choose another range that is located at a
comparatively higher position.(TM-201/202/204)
5. If you want to keep the reading value on the LCD
permanently after testing, press the “D-H” Key
whereby the reading value will be locked
permanently up. Press the “D-H” Key once again
when you want to release the previous locking.
6. After testing, put the cover of the light sensor back
to its former position, and turn off the switch.
7. After testing is completed, the indication value
should be 000 no matter what its range would be
after putting the cap of the light sensor back to its
former position. Please adjust 0 ADJ to enable LCD
to indicate 000 if zero cannot be recovered. If zero
still cannot be recovered, it means that the meter
breaks down.(TM-201/202/204)
8. Press the ZERO button for the zero adjustment if
any digits is appeara (TM-205)
NOTE.：When the light sensor cap 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.
