Operation

Meter Power

1. Press the Power button to turn the meter ON or OFF

2. If the meter does not switch on when the power button is pressed or if the low battery icon is

displayed on the LCD, replace the 9V battery

Auto Power Off (APO)

1. The meter is equipped with an automatic power off (APO) feature that turns the meter off after

20 minutes of inactivity

2. To defeat the APO feature, press and hold the APO button. While holding down the APO

button, press the RANGE button to switch off the circular APO symbol on the upper left-hand

corner of the LCD. Repeat this step to re-activate the APO feature. The APO icon will

reappear.

Unit of Measure

Press the UNITS button to change the unit of measure from Lux to Fc or from Fc to Lux

Range Selection

Press the RANGE button to select the measurement range. There are four (range) selections for

each unit of measure. The units display and decimal point location identify the range selected. Refer

to the Range Specifications section of this User Guide for detailed range information.

Taking a Measurement

1. Remove the sensor’s protective cap to expose the white sensor dome

2. Place the sensor in a horizontal position under the source of light to be measured

3. Read the illuminance measurement on the LCD display.

4. The meter will display ‘OL’ when the measurement is outside of the meter’s specified range or

if the meter is set to the wrong range. Change the range by pressing the RANGE button.

5. Replace the protective sensor cap when the meter is not in use.

Data Hold

To freeze the LCD display, momentarily press the HOLD button. 'MANU HOLD' will appear on the

upper left-hand side of the LCD. Momentarily press the HOLD button again to return to normal

operation ('MANU HOLD' will switch off).

Peak Hold

The Peak Hold function allows the meter to capture short duration light flashes. The meter can

capture peaks down to 10mS in duration.

1. Press the PEAK button to activate the Peak Hold feature. ‘MANU Pmax’’ will appear on the

display. Press the PEAK button again and ‘MANU Pmin’ will appear. Use ‘Pmax’ to capture

positive peaks. Use ‘Pmin’ to capture negative peaks.

2. To exit the Peak Hold mode and return to the normal operating mode, press the PEAK button a

third time.

HD400-EN V2.4 07/13

Maximum (MAX) and Minimum (MIN) Reading Memory

The MAX-MIN function allows the meter to store the highest (MAX) and lowest (MIN) readings.

1. Press the MAX-MIN button to activate the feature. ‘MANU MAX’ will appear on the top of the

display and the meter will only display the highest reading encountered.

2. Press the MAX-MIN button again. ‘MANU MIN’ will appear on the top of the display and the

meter will only display the lowest reading encountered.

3. To exit this mode and return to the normal operating mode, press the MAX-MIN button a third

time.

Relative Mode

The Relative Mode function allows the user to store a reference value in the meter for which to

compare subsequent readings. For example, if the user stores a reading of 100 Lux, all subsequent

readings will be displayed as actual reading minus 100.

1. Take the measurement, and when the desired reference value is displayed, press the REL

button.

2. ‘MANU REL’ will appear at the top of the LCD display.

3. All subsequent readings will be offset by an amount equal to the reference level. For example,

if the reference level is 100 Lux, all subsequent readings will equal the actual reading plus 100

Lux.

4. To exit the Relative Mode, press the REL button. ‘MANU REL’will switch off indicating that the

meter has returned to the normal operating mode.

LCD Backlight

The meter is equipped with a backlight feature that lights up the LCD display.

1. Press the backlight button to activate the backlight

2. Press the backlight button again to switch the backlight off. Note that the backlight will turn off

automatically after a short period of time in order to save battery energy.

3. The backlight function uses extra battery energy. To conserve energy, use the backlight

feature sparingly.

USB PC Interface

Description

The HD400 meter can be connected to a PC via its USB interface. A USB cable, along with

WindowsTM software, is included with the meter. The software allows the user to view, store, and

print readings from the PC.

Note that the HD400 does not datalog readings, meaning that it does not store readings in an

internal memory; it simply displays readings on the PC as they are taken in real-time; after which the

readings can be analyzed, stored as text, or printed.

Meter to PC Connection

The supplied USB cable is used to connect the meter to a PC. Connect the smaller connector end

of the cable to the meter’s interface port (located under the tab at the left-hand side of the meter).

The larger connector end of the cable connects to a PC USB port.

Program Software

The supplied software allows the user to view readings in real-time on a PC. The readings can be

analyzed, zoomed, stored, and printed. Please refer to the HELP UTILITY available from inside the

software program for detailed software instructions
