Safety precautions
This product complies with the requirements of the following directives of the European Union for CE conformity: 2014/30/EU (electromagnetic compatibility), 2011/65/EU (RoHS).
The following safety precautions must be observed before operation. Damages resulting from failure to observe these safety precautions are exempt from any legal claims whatever:

• * Comply with the warning labels and other info on the equipment.
• * Do not subject the equipment to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, humidity or dampness.
• * Do not subject the equipment to shocks or strong vibrations.
• * Do not operate the equipment near strong magnetic fields (motors, transformers etc.).
• * Keep hot soldering irons or guns away from the equipment.
• * Allow the equipment to stabilize at room temperature before taking up measurement (important for exact measurements).
• * Replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator “BAT” appears. With a low battery, the meter might produce false reading.
• * Fetch out the battery when the meter will not be used for long period.
• * Periodically wipe the cabinet with a damp cloth and mid detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents.
• * Do not operate the meter before the cabinet has been closed and screwed safely.

   Modes
5. ON/Off-key: To power on/off the unit

Operating Instruction

1. Activate the unit by pressing ON/Off-key
2. Remove the protection cover from the photo-diode (pull off upwards)
3. Press the Unit-key to switch between the two measurement units (LUX or ftc)
   1. To switch on the LCD-backlight press and hold the Unit-button for 2 sec., to turn off the backlight press and hold the Unit-button for 2 sec. again.

6. Move the photo-detector to the light source in a horizontal position
7. Read the illuminance value from the LC-Display. If value is over range „OL“ is displayed
8. After the measurement power off the unit an apply protection cap

Spectral sensitivity characteristic

To the detector the applied photo diode with filters makes the spectral sensitivity characteristic almost meet C.I.E. (International Commission on Illumination) photopia curve V as the following chart described.

Recommended LUX-values for various environments

Maintenance

 Battery replacement should only be done if power is off.

Battery Replacement

If the sign “BAT” appears on the LCD display, it indicates that the battery should be replaced. Remove screws on the back cover and open the case. Replace the exhausted battery with new battery. Batteries, which are used up dispose duly. Used up batteries are hazardous and must be given in the for this being supposed collective container.

Statutory Notification about the Battery Regulations
The delivery of many devices includes batteries, which for example serve to operate the remote control. There also could be batteries or accumulators built into the device itself. In connection with the sale of these batteries or accumulators, we are obliged under the Battery Regulations to notify our customers of the following: Please dispose of old batteries at a council collection point or return them to a local shop at no cost. The disposal in domestic refuse is strictly forbidden according to the Battery Regulations. You can return used batteries obtained from us at no charge at the address on the last side in this manual or by posting with sufficient stamps.

Batteries, which contain harmful substances, are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out waste bin, similar to the illustration shown left. Under the waste bin symbol is the chemical symbol for the harmful substance, e.g. „Cd“ for cadmium, „PBS“ stands for lead and „Hg“ for mercury.

You can obtain further information about the Battery Regulations from the Bundesministerium für Umwelt, Naturschutz und Reaktorsicherheit (Federal Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation and Reactor Safety).
