Operation

PowerON/OFF 

LongpressthePowerbuttontopowerthemeter.TopowerthemeterOFF,shortpressthe

Powerbutton.

TakingMeasurements

1. SwitchthemeterONandremovethesensor’sprotectivecovertoexposethelightsensor

dome.ThedisplayshouldswitchON;ifnot,checkthatbatteriesareinstalledandfresh.

2. Themetermeasurestheintensityofthelight(illuminance)thatstrikesthesensordomein

foot‐candlesandLuxunits(1fc=10.76lux),displayingthismeasuredvalueonitsLCD.

3. Positionthemeterandlightsourcesothatthelightstrikesthesensordomestraighton

(perpendicular)withaslittleanangleaspossible.

4. Themeter’sdisplaycanshowavalueupto9999.However,forreadingsthatrepresent

measurementshigherthanthis,themeterusesx10orx100feature.Forexample,to

representameasurementof11,000fcthemeterwilldisplay1100withthex10indicator.

LT40-en-GB_V3.0 10/17

AutoPowerOFF

Tosavebatterylife,themeterpowersdownautomaticallyafterapproximately12minutesof

inactivity.

Enable/DisableAutoPowerOff

WhilethemeterisON,longpressthePowerbuttontodisabletheAutoPowerOFFutility(the

ClocksymbolwillswitchOFF).ToenabletheAutoPowerOFFutility,repeatthisprocess.

LUX/FCButton

PresstheLUX/FCbuttontotogglebetweenLuxandFC(foot‐candles)measurementunits.

MAX/MINButton

Themetercanrecordthemaximum,minimum,andaveragereadingsasdescribedbelow:

1. Shortpressthe“MAX/MIN”buttonandthemeterwillbegintotrackthe

maximum/average/minimummeasurements;the“MAX”iconwilldisplayatthetopofthe

LCDwindowindicatingthatthemeterisnowshowingthemaximumreading.Thereading

willnotchangeuntilahigherreadingisregistered.

2. Pressthe“MAX/MIN”buttonagaintoswitchfrom“MAX”to“AVG”,wherethemeterwill

showtheaveragemeasurementvalue.The“AVG”iconwillbedisplayedabovethedisplayed

value.

3. Pressthe“MAX/MIN”buttonagaintochangethemodefrom“AVG”to“MIN”,wherethe

meterwillshowtheminimumvaluemeasured.The“MIN”iconwillbedisplayed.

4. Pressthe“MAX/MIN”buttonagaintoswitchfrom“MIN”backto“MAX”.

5. Toexitthismode,holdthe“MAX/MIN”buttonforatleast2seconds.TheMAX/AVG/MIN

iconsshouldallbeswitchedOFFwhentheunitreturnstothenormaloperatingmode.

HOLDButton

PresstheHOLDbuttontofreezethecurrentreadingontheLCD.PresstheHOLDbuttonagainto

releasethereading.IntheDataHoldmode,HOLDisdisplayedontheLCD.

ZeroCalibrationProcedure

1. Ensurethattheprotectivecapisattachedtothelightsensor.

2. PowerthemeterandtheLCDshoulddisplay‘0’.

3. Shortpressthe“CALZERO”buttontoperformthezeroadjustment(CALwillappearonthe

display).

4. TheCALdisplaywillswitchoffwhenthecalibrationhasbeencompleted.

5. IftheprotectivecapisnotcoveringthesensorwhentheZerocalibrationisstartedtheLCD

displaywillreadCAP.Inthiscase,pleasecoverthesensorwiththecapandrestartthis

procedure.

MeasurementConsiderationsandUserTips

Formaximumaccuracyallowthelightbeingmeasuredtofalldirectlyonthesensoras

perpendicularaspossiblewithaminimalangleofincidence.



Whenthemeterisnotinuse,pleasekeeptheprotectivecapinplaceoverthelightsensor.This

willprolongthelifeofthesensor.

Whenthemeteristobestoredforlongperiods,pleaseremovethebatteriesandstorethem

separately.Batteriescanleakandcausedamagetothemeter’scomponents.

Avoidareasofhightemperatureandhumiditywhenusingthisinstrument.



BatteryReplacementandMaintenance

Cleaningandstorage

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

onlyamildsoapifneeded.Donotusesolvents,abrasives,orharshdetergentstocleanthe

dome.

2. Storethemeterinanareawithmoderatetemperatureandrelativehumidity.

BatteryReplacement

Whenthebatterypowerdecreasestoacriticallevel,thelowbattery

symbol“”willappearontheLCD.Replacethe2x1.5VAAA

batterieslocatedintherearbatterycompartment.

1. Pressandholdthebatterycompartmentlockbutton(seediagram).

2. Slidethebatterycompartmentcoveroffinthedirectionofthe

arrow.

Installtwo(2)1.5V‘AAA’batteriesobservingcorrectpolarityandclose

thebatterycompartment.Ensurethatthecompartmentcoverissecurely

fastenedbeforeusingthemeter.



Neverdisposeofusedbatteriesorrechargeablebatteriesin

householdwaste.

Asconsumers,usersarelegallyrequiredtotakeusedbatteriestoappropriate

collectionsites,theretailstorewherethebatterieswerepurchased,orwherever

batteriesaresold.

Disposal:Donotdisposeofthisinstrumentinhouseholdwaste.Theuserisobligatedtotake
