1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
The AccuPRO™ XP-2000A Meter features an advanced
digital microprocessor-controlled readout unit calibrated
to accurately detect and display light intensity readings.
The XP-2000A features UV and white light modes, and
are used for fluorescent inspection (non-destructive
testing).
1.2 FEATURES
•
The meter is compact, lightweight, and
battery-operated for convenient use in the factory,
field, or any other location where measurements
need to be taken.
•
The XP-2000A readout unit has a maximum 4-digit
autoranging, color LCD screen.
•
The sensor is loaded with low electrical impedance,
making their linearity vastly superior to that of any
other comparably priced radiometers.
•
The sensor is provided with a special diffuser
window that helps prevent filter degradation and
ensures accurate lambertian or cosine response.
INTERFACE
• Simple, three-button interface
• Accurate to within a hundredth of a unit
measurement (e.g., 28.96 mW/cm2)
• Intuitive user interface design
• Navigable screen prompts
• One touch PEAK reset
• Toggle between UV/Visible and Blue Light modes
HARDWARE
• Sensor with 3-foot (0.9 m) electrical cord
• Superior band-pass interference filter provides
excellent cosine response
• Press and hold the MENU button to turn the meter
ON or OFF
• Powered by four AAA rechargeable nickel-metal
hydride batteries with AC battery charger included
1.3 PRECAUTIONS
•
The AccuPRO is carefully designed to prevent
accidental shock to the operator. However, no
engineering design can render safe an instrument
that is used carelessly. Therefore, the directions
presented in this manual must be read carefully
before any measurements are made.
Failure to
follow directions could result in injury.
•
The UV sensor is designed for use in regions of the
spectrum, notably the ultraviolet range, which may
be hazardous to the eyes and/or skin. Ultraviolet
protective eyewear and facewear are available from
Spectro-UV (for instances when UV exposure is
unavoidable).
•
Do not leave the exposed sensor head under the
light source any longer than necessary to take
measurements. Prolonged exposure can result in
premature aging of the sensor, necessitating more
frequent recalibration to maintain accurate readings.
•
See Section 10, Warranty, Maintenance and Battery
information.
•
DO NOT CHARGE ALKALINE BATTERIES (doing
so may result in an explosion, potentially causing
damage to the unit and/or operators). Only use the
supplied batteries.
2. AccuPRO COMPONENTS
•
Unpack and inspect the component(s) for
possible damage in shipment. Save the shipping
carton and packing materials for future storing or
shipping of the AccuPRO components.
•
Assure the sensor cable is undamaged and
securely attached to the readout unit.
•
Conduct a performance test as soon as possible.
If any damage is noted, immediately notify the
carrier and supplier (do not use the instrument).
•
While charging, it is recommended to have the
device turned OFF.
