Operation

Turn Power ON or OFF

1. Press the button to turn power on or off. The meter will perform a short self-test

when turned on.

Light sensor

1. The light sensor is permanently attached to the meter. A coiled cable attaches the

sensor to the meter.

2. The white domed light sensor lens is a photo diode and resides underneath the

protective cap.

3. The meter automatically zeroes, therefore a zero calibration is not necessary.

4. The back of the sensor has a tripod mounting hole.

Taking light measurements

1. Remove the protective cap from the sensor and face the white domed light sensor

toward the source of light to be monitored. For overhead lighting, the sensor can be

placed on a desk or table top.

2. The light being measured must encompass the entire white sensor dome.

3. Read the light level on the LCD. If the light measurement is out of range an “OL”

indication will appear on the display. If the ‘OL’ appears, select another range by

pressing the RANGE button.

Selecting Lux or Foot candle units of measure

Press the LUX button to select lux units and the fc button to select foot candle units.

MX MN Function (stores/recalls highest MX and lowest MN readings)

Press the MX/MN button once to put the meter in MX mode. The meter will now display

only the highest reading (MX is displayed on the upper left-hand portion of the LCD). Press

MX/MN again to put the meter in MN mode where the meter displays only the lowest

reading (MN icon is displayed). Press MX/MN again to have the meter continue to record

the highest and lowest readings but display only the current reading (both MX and MN

icons appear flashing), then use the MX/MN button to scroll through the highest and lowest

readings. To exit the MX MN mode, press and hold the MX/MN button until the MX and MN

icons completely disappear.

EA30 V2.0 06/065

Data Hold

Press the HOLD button to freeze the displayed reading. The 'H' hold icon will appear on

the upper right-hand side of the display. Press the HOLD button again to return to normal

operation (the 'H' hold icon will disappear). When hold function is enabled the analog bar

graph will continue to display level changes.

Peak Hold

The Peak Hold feature allows the meter to captures light level changes that occur in as

little time as 100us. Press the PEAK button momentarily and the ‘P+’ icon will appear on

the LCD. The meter can now measure a fast acting light peak and display it on the LCD.

To exit the Peak Hold mode, press and hold the PEAK button until the ‘P+’ icon

disappears.

NOTE: If the PEAK button is pressed momentarily rather then pressed and held when

exiting the Peak mode, the meter will display ‘P-‘ which is a function reserved for future use

and should be ignored.

Relative mode

Measurements can be displayed as a difference between actual light level and a stored

reference value. To store a reading as a reference, press the REL button when the desired

reference measurement is on the LCD (the triangle icon will appear steady in the upper

left-hand corner of the LCD). All subsequent displayed readings will be “relative” to the

stored reference value. For example, if the reference value is 100 and the actual light level

is 125, the meter will display 25. To view the reference value, press the REL button again

so that the triangle icon begins to flash. The displayed value will be the reference value. To

exit the Relative mode, press and hold the REL button until the triangle icon disappears.

Maintenance

Cleaning and storage

1. The white plastic sensor dome should be cleaned with a damp cloth when necessary.

2. Store the meter in an area with moderate temperature and humidity (refer to the

operating and storage range in the specifications chart earlier in this manual).

Battery Replacement

When the battery power falls low, the ‘BT’ symbol will appear on the lower left-hand side of

the LCD. Replace the six (6) 1.5 ‘AAA’ batteries by removing the rear (center) battery

compartment screw and accessing the battery compartment. Observe polarity when

placing the batteries in the compartment. Ensure that the compartment cover is securely

fastened when finished.

Calibration and Repair Services

Extech offers repair and calibration services for the products we sell. Extech also

provides NIST certification for most products. Call the Customer Service Department for

information on calibration services available for this product. Extech recommends that

annual calibrations be performed to verify meter performance and accuracy.
