Operation considerations
User should observe the following notices to guarantee safe operation and obtain optimum
performance.
1) Preliminary check
Before initial use, please check if the light meter operates normally and if it is damaged du-
ring storage and transportation. In case of any damage, please contact the supplier.
2) Placement
- Operational temperature and humidity range: -10ºC~50ºC (14~122°F) <80%RH (non-con
-
densed)
- Storage temperature and humidity range: -10ºC~+50ºC (14~122°F) <70%RH (non-con
-
densed)
To avoid faults, please DO NOT place the light meter in following environments:
- Direct sunlight
- High temperature
- Mist /splash
- High temperature/condensation
- Dust
- Corrosive or explosive gas
- Intensive electromagnetic environment
- Mechanical vibration
3) Use
Notice
• The operation temperature range for the light meter is -10 and +50ºC (14-122°F).
•
In order to avoid damage, especially falling accidents, handling and use should be avoided
during severe mechanical vibration.
•
The light meter can only be calibrated and repaired by professional personnel.
•
Before each use, the opto-sensor of light meter should be checked for damage and dust.
Make sure the meter is in good, smooth and clean conditions. If one or more functions of
the light meter are irregular or not ready for operation, avoid using the meter.
•
During the operation of the light meter, the meter measurement value should not be at
OL for long time.

service life.
• If the meter is subject to effect of intensive electromagnetic field, its functions will be
affected.
• Only use batteries specified in technical data.
•
Batteries should avoid damp. If the low battery symbol appears on the display, the user
should replace batteries.
Tips
•
The sensibility of the optical detector will be lessened due to operation conditions or time.
It is recommended to make periodic calibration to maintain the basic accuracy.
• Please keep original package for future mailing (such as for light meter calibration).
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Service

•
Do not use benzene, alcohol, acetone, ethyl ether, ketones, thinners and gasoline, etc. in
cleaning, because they will transform or fade the light meter.
•
The light meter can only be used again when it is completely dry after cleaning.
Battery replacement
•
If the battery symbol appears on the LCD accompanied by buzzer alarm, batteries must
be replaced.
• Batteries should be replaced as follow:
-
Turn off the meter
-
Remove the screw on the back of the meter and open the battery compartment
-
Remove exhausted batteries
-
Replace new batteries observing polarity
-
Replace the battery compartment cover and secure the compartment screw..
Warning
Do pay attention to the right polarity of battery when putting in or replacing batteries. In
case of polarity reversal, the light meter will be damaged, and can even cause explo-
sion or fire. Neither connects one polarity of the battery to the other one with wire, nor
throws batteries into fire, or it will cause
explosion. Do not attempt to discompose the battery! The battery’s intensively alkaline
electrolyte is corrosive and dangers the user. In case of contact of the electrolyte with
skin or clothes, immediately rinse touched parts with clean water. In case of contact of
the electrolyte with eyes, immediately
rinse eyes with clean water and seek medical advice.
Notice
• The light meter should be turned off before replacing batteries.
• Use batteries specified in technical data only.
•
If the meter is not to be used for a long time, take out the batteries.
•
In case the meter is polluted due to battery leak, the meter should be sent by post to the
manufacturer for cleaning and checking.
• For disposal of used batteries, follow existing specifications on battery recycling, reuse
and treatment.
Calibration Interval
In order to ensure the accuracy of the meter, periodic calibration should be performed by our
debugging personnel. It is recommended to make calibration every year. If the meter is in fre-
quent use or used in poor environments, the calibration interval should be accordingly shor-
ten. If the meter is less used, the calibration interval may prolong to three years.
