Description of the unit

1. Photo detector: long life silicon photo diode inside
2. MAX and LUX/Fc function button: Press button quickly, the max reading will be displayed. Pressing it once again will release the hold and allow another measurement. Pressing this function button for 2 seconds will change the display between LUX and Fc.
3. Power: Turn power ON or OFF.
4. LCD Backlight Control: Meter will be will sensitive to environment light intensity, if the environment is dark, it will turn on the LCD backlight on automatically, otherwise it will turn off the LCD backlight.
5. Auto-ranging: x10 means the meter is in range 20k Lux, and the readings should multiple with 10; x100 means the meter is in range 40k Lux, and the readings should multiple with 100.
6. LCD display: 1999 counts LCD display with LUX, fc, MAX, indication
7. MAX: The highest reading is displayed on the display.
8.  Low battery indicator
9. Battery cover

Start-up the unit
Insert the battery
Open the battery cover and insert the 9 volt battery according to the correct polarity.
Power
Press the power button to start normal measurement.

7.  When the measurement is finished, replace the photo detector from the light source.
8. Spectral characteristics of sensitivity: The photo diode with filters applied to the spectral sensitivity does meet CIE (Inter national Commission on Illumination) photopia curve V (ʎ) describes.
9. If it appears, battery should be replaced with new one.
10. Recommended Illumination:

Replacing the battery
