l) Compass and tripod
You can screw the meter to a tripod via the connection thread (5). This is useful when taking automatic irradiance
measurements over a prolonged period.
The compass (9) on the sensor allows you to determine the direction relative to the magnetic north pole.
10. Care and cleaning
Never use aggressive detergents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions, as these may damage the
casing or stop the product from functioning properly.
• Before cleaning the product, disconnect it from the power supply (remove the battery).
• If you do not plan to use the meter for an extended period, close the sensor cover and remove the battery from
the meter.

11. Disposal
a) Product
Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be placed in household waste. At the end of its
service life, dispose of the product according to the relevant statutory regulations. Remove any inserted
batteries and dispose of them separately from the product.
b) Battery information
You are required by law to return all used batteries (Battery Directive). They must not be placed in house-
hold waste.
Batteries containing hazardous substances are labelled with this symbol to indicate that disposal in house-
hold waste is forbidden. The abbreviations for heavy metals in batteries are: Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury,
Pb = Lead (indicated on the battery, e.g. below the waste bin icon on the left).
Used batteries can be returned to local collection points, our stores or battery retailers.
You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to environmental protection.
