each unit of measure. The range icons will appear to identify the range selected.

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 light level on the LCD display (numerically or with the bargraph).

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 to find

the best range for the application.

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

LCD. Momentarily press the HOLD button again to return to normal operation.

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” and “Pmax’’ will appear on

the display. Press the PEAK button again and “Manu” and “Pmin” will appear. Use ‘Pmax’ to

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

2. When the peak has been captured, the value and associated time will remain in the display

until a higher peak is recorded. The bargraph display will remain active displaying the current

light level.

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

third time.

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” and “MAX” will appear on the

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

2. Press the MAX-MIN button again. “Manu” and “MIN’ will appear on the display and the meter

will only display the lowest reading encountered.

3. When the MAX or MIN has been captured, the value and associated time will remain in the

display until a higher value is recorded. The bargraph display will remain active displaying the

current light level.

4. 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. All displayed

readings will be relative to the stored reading.

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

button.

2. “Manu” will appear on the LCD display.

3. All subsequent readings will be offset by the 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

minus 100 Lux.

4. To exit the Relative Mode, press the REL button.

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
