1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing Apacer AL100/AL110 Spectroradiometer! To fully enjoy the benefits of this

product, please read the important information and instructions in this manual carefully and keep it in an

easily accessible place for future reference.

Please make sure you read the following safety instructions thoroughly to avoid harming yourself or

damaging your spectroradiometer before, during, and after using this product.

Power supply: Power can be supplied to the spectroradiometer via an AC adaptor or a computer

connected to the instrument via a USB cable. However, to make sure the unit runs smoothly, we

recommend using the AC adaptor that comes with the package.

Environment: Keep away from an area with a high dust or humidity level and corrosive gases. Make

sure the environment does not experience abrupt changes in temperature; otherwise, measurement

accuracy can be highly affected.

Vibration and collision: The spectroradiometer is equipped with highly sophisticated optical

components. To prevent it from falling or collision, do not place it near any moving objects while

operating; keep it safe in a box while carrying it around.

Dust ingression: Wipe off dust and dirt with towels or silica cloth. Do not use any chemicals, such as

diluents, acetone, or volatile solvents which may damage the spectroradiometer.

Storage: Place the spectroradiometer in a tool box under normal temperature. Do not put it in cars or

expose it to environment with high temperature, humidity, or dust.

Calibration: A measuring instrument like spectroradiometer may fail to produce valid data after being

used for a period of time. To ensure optimum accuracy, we recommend you send the instrument back

to the original manufacturer for calibration on a yearly basis. Please contact Apacer or your dealer for

detailed information.

Maintenance: Never dismantle the spectroradiometer by yourself. If encountering any breakdowns,

please contact your dealer or the original manufacturer for assistance.

3. Getting Started with Spectroradiometer

This chapter explains how to use your AL100/AL110 Spectroradiometer without being connected to a

computer via a USB cable and ASR, desktop application designed for AL100/AL110 Spectroradiometer,

start up and zero calibrate the device, view system information, manage settings for the instrument,

manage measuring methods, and view measurement data.

3.1. Starting up and Calibrating the Spectroradiometer

To ensure measurement accuracy, we suggested you calibrate the spectroradiometer upon every system

startup. Follow the steps below to start the calibration.

To start up and calibrate your spectroradiometer:

1. Long press the power button on the device to power on.

2. Cover the lens with the lens cap to start calibrating the device, and do either of the following:

Tap Continue to calibrate the unit.

Tap Skip if you do not want to perform calibration now. You may calibrate the unit later by going to

Setting. See “Managing Settings”for more information.

3. The gear icon will appear when the system begins calibrating. Depending on the calibrating

status, do either of the following:

Successfully calibrated: You can start measuring the spectrum of light source by tapping

Measure on the device screen or press the physical Measure button on the side of the unit.

However, in case you want to configure system settings before measuring in order to capture

results data as accurately as possible, tap Setting. See “Managing Settings”for more information.

Calibration failed: The calibration results can be affected by potential error sources such as

external lighting during a calibration. If ambient lighting is detected, an error message will appear.

Please make sure the lens is covered with the lens cap, and tap Continue to perform the

calibration once again.

Option

Description

Auto Int. Time

This option allows you to obtain the best exposure by turning on/off the

setting depending on your need:

On (Auto Integration): When set to on, the instrument will take

measurements of a source automatically at optimal timing when ambient

environment provides appropriate lighting.

Off (Manual Integration): When set to off, you can take measurements

whenever you want by tapping the Measure button. Select the integration

time with the + and –buttons. Maximum time permitted can be up to

60,000 milliseconds.
