INTRODUCTION
Compact and portable, your new meter can be used to monitor
light levels or check the FC level of a particular light source.
The sensor’s exclusive photo diode and color correction lter
meets the C.I.E. photopic spectrum.
Sper Scientic light meters are cosine corrected for a quick and
accurate response. Large easily legible 4 digit LCD. The meter has
an external zero adjustment, data hold, low-battery indicator, and
a moisture resistant front panel.
Comes with soft carrying case, detachable light sensor,
photo-sensor cover, instructions and a 9-Volt battery.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES
1. Insert the SENSOR plug into the SENSOR INPUT socket.
2. Turn the meter on using the ON button.
3. Remove the lens cap from the PHOTO SENSOR.
4. Press the 200 RANGE button for measurements of 0 ~ 199.9
FC, or select the 2000 RANGE button for measurements of
200 ~ 1999.9 FC. If you are uncertain about which range to use,
select the highest range.
5. Range Overload is indicated when “1” appears on the left side
of the display. If this occurs, switch to the highest range or
discontinue use.
6. Point the PHOTO SENSOR toward the source and read the
results on the display. Divide the meter reading by the factor of
.0929 to convert FC results to LUX.
7. Push the HOLD button to freeze the reading in the display.
The word “HOLD” appears on the LCD. Press the HOLD
button again to exit this function.
8. Press the OFF button to turn the unit off.
Notes
• Keep the lens cap on the PHOTO SENSOR at all times except
when actually taking a reading.
• Fluctuations in the reading are generally due to shadows or
uctuations in the line voltage. Ambient temperature, drafts
and ventilation also affect the luminous ux output.
• Avoid range overload and do not store in areas of high
temperature and / or humidity. Remove the battery for
long-term storage.

ZERO ADJUSTMENT & CALIBRATION
IMPORTANT: During adjustment, be sure to use only the terminal
marked “ZERO.” The unmarked terminals are for professional
laboratory calibration only. Tampering with the unmarked terminals
will result in inaccurate readings and require professional
calibration of the meter.
1. With the sensor cover securely in place and the meter turned
on, the LCD display should indicate “000” or “00.0” depending
on the selected range.
2. A slight variation will not affect readings; however, if a precise
reading is required you may use the ZERO SETTING terminal
to reset the unit.
3. To make an adjustment, press the 200 RANGE button and
cover the PHOTO SENSOR.
4. Using a small screwdriver, turn the ZERO SETTING terminal
until “00.0” appears on the LCD.
5. To maintain accuracy, annual laboratory calibration
is recommended. For calibration service, contact
SPER SCIENTIFIC.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
1. Replace the battery when the low battery icon is displayed.
2. In-spec measurements may be made for several hours after the
low battery indicator appears.
3. Remove the BATTERY COVER screw and slide the cover off.
4. Replace the battery with a fresh 9V battery (alkaline or heavy duty).
