Operating Instructions
Measuring Procedure
1. Slide the “OFF/ON” switch to the “ON” position.
2. Determine lux or foot candle (FC) on the “LUX/FC” switch.
3. Select the maximum range on the “RANGE” switch.
4. Hold the “Light-Sensor” by hand and face the measuring light
oppositely. The display will show light values directly.
Measuring Consideration
1. As the rang B (2000 - 19990 LUX, 200 - 1999 FC) is designed and
to measure the light values ≥ 2000 LUX (200 FC). So if the
measured light values are less than 2000 LUX (200 FC), select the
“RANGE” switch to the lower range to get high resolution and
precision. Otherwise the display may show some value readings
but may not be correct.
2. As the range C (20000 - 50000 LUX, 2000 - 5000 FC) is designed
to measure the light values ≥ 20000 LUX (2000 FC). If the
measured light values are less than 20000 LUX (2000 FC), select
the “RANGE” switch to the lower range to get high resolution and
precision. Otherwise the display may show some value readings
but may not be correct.

Cleaning
Periodically clean your meter’s case using a damp cloth. DO NOT use
abrasive, flammable liquids, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents as
they may damage the finish, impair safety, or affect the reliability of the
structural components.
Battery Replacement
Always use a fresh replacement battery of the specified size and type.
Immediately remove the old or weak battery from the meter and
dispose of it in accordance with your local disposal regulations. Batteries
can leak chemicals that corrode electronic circuits. If your meter is not
going to be used for a month or more, remove and store the battery in
a place that will not allow leakage to damage other materials.
To install a new battery, follow these procedures:
1. When the left corner of LCD display indicates “LO BAT”, it is time
to change the battery.
2. Remove battery cover and remove battery.
3. Replace with 9 V battery and reinstall battery cover.
WARNING!
Under no circumstances should you expose batteries to extreme heat or
fire as they may expose and cause injury.
