Display
The meter is fitted with an OLED display that gives a much higher
contrast and superior viewing angle than traditional TFT or LCD
displays. The display is protected behind a protective plastic cover,
but care should still be taken to protect the screen area from blows or
scratches or other damage.
In normal operation when the unit is powered up, the first screen to
appear is the Logo screen, followed by the Splash screen. The Logo
screen contains information about the meter, including the serial
number and date of last calibration for the unit.
Keeping the ON/OFF
button held down during power on will pause the meter at the splash screen until the button is
released.

Measurement Display
When the unit is powered up it will normally enter the
measurement display after the Splash Screen.
The measurement display contains five components:-
Battery level – This gives an indication of the state
of the battery life.
WL reading- this is the current reading for the
white light sensor (this reading is rounded).
WL max – this is the maximum value the meter
has observed for white light (this reading is
absolute). This reading is reset when the
ON/OFF button is pressed.
UV reading- this is the current reading for the UV sensor (this reading is rounded).
UV max – this is the maximum value the meter has observed for UV (this reading is
absolute). This reading is reset when the ON/OFF button is pressed.
If the meter is exposed to light levels greater than it’s designed range the meter will saturate
. When
the meter is saturated it will display “>5000” “>10000” or “++++” in red to indicate that it has
saturated.
The meter will return to normal operation once the light levels have returned to the
meters design range.
