⚠ Warning and Precautions

• Do not operate the meter in explosive gas (material), combustible gas (material) steam or filled with dust.
• The light sensor is calibrated to CIE standard incandescent lamp at 2856 °K and may give different readings for spectrums from other lamp types.

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Your shipping carton should include:

1 LM-200LED LED light meter
1 9 volt battery
1 Users Manual
1 Carrying case

If any of the items are damaged or missing, return the complete package to the place of purchase for an exchange.

INTRODUCTION

The instrument measures light output of LED sources for all visible light ranges.

The lumen is a measure of total amount of visible lights emitted by a source. The lumen is defined as in relation to the candela as 1 lm = 1 cd.sr.

A foot-candle is the luminance cast on a surface by a one-candela source one foot away. One foot-candela is equal to one lumen per square foot or approximately 10.764 lux.

OPERATION

1. Press the ① button to turn power on or off
2. Remove sensor protective cap and place the sensor perpendicular to the light.
3. Select the measurement unit (LUX or FC) by using Lx/Fc button.

4. Set the measurement range by using R button.

5. Press button to obtain the maximum reading during measurement.

6. Press button to freeze the present reading on the display.

Always put the sensor protective cap back when the instrument is not in use.

Lx / fc

Press (Lx/Fc) button to select the measurement unit.

1 foot-candle = 10.764 Lux and 1 Lux = 0.09290 foot-candle

Measurement Range R

Press R button to select the measurement range. An "OL." Symbol on display indicates over-range, select a higher range for measurement.

Maximum Hold

Press M-H button to obtain the maximum reading during measurement (MAX symbol shows on display).

Press M-H button again to exit maximum hold mode (MAX symbol disappears on display).

Data Hold

Press D-H button to freeze present reading on display (D-H symbol shows on display).

Press D-H button again to resume measurement (D-H symbol disappears on display).

Zero Adjustment

The instrument zero may change over time. To reset to zero follow the instructions:

1. Make sure the sensor protective cap is fully covered on the sensor.

2. Set the range at the lowest LUX or FC range

3. Using a small flat screwdriver to adjust zero control (0 ADJ) until display shows "0.00".
