5. Instruccions de funcionament

5.1 Encès/Apagat

Premeu el vermell Botó de canvi per encendre o apagar el dispositiu.

5.2 Basic Light Measurement

1. Turn on the light meter.
2. Ensure the light detector is clean and free from obstructions.
3. Point the light detector towards the light source or area where you want to measure illuminance. The sensor can be rotated up to 270° left and 90° right for optimal positioning.
4. The current illuminance value will be displayed on the LCD screen in Lux or FC units.

5.3 Unit Selection (Lux/FC, °C/°F)

Premeu el botó MODE button to toggle between Lux and FC units for light measurement. Long press the MODE button to switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) for temperature display.

5.4 Retenció de dades

Premeu el botó MANTENIM key briefly to freeze the current reading on the display. Press it again to release the hold function and resume live measurement.

5.5 Max/Min Data Hold

Premeu el botó MAX/MIN key to cycle through the maximum, minimum, and current readings. The display will indicate 'MAX' or 'MIN' when these values are shown.

5.6 Emmagatzematge de dades (REC)

Premeu breument REC button to record the current data. Long press the REC i, a continuació, utilitzeu el botó REL/UP clau per view les dades emmagatzemades.

Figure 5: Data storage function indicated on the display.

5.7 Auto/Manual Ranging

The device typically operates in auto-ranging mode. To switch to manual ranging, long press the HOLD/RANGE key. Press again to select different ranges. Long press again to return to auto-ranging.

5.8 Relative Value Measurement

Premeu el botó REL/UP key to enter relative value mode. The meter will display the difference between the current measurement and a set reference value.

6. Manteniment

• Neteja: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the device. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the light detector is kept clean for accurate readings.
• Emmagatzematge: When not in use for extended periods, remove the battery to prevent leakage. Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Protecció del sensor: Keep the protective cap on the light sensor when not in use to prevent damage and dust accumulation.

7. Solució De Problemes

• El dispositiu no s'encén: Check if the battery is installed correctly and has sufficient charge. Replace the battery if necessary.
• Lectures inexactes: Ensure the light detector is clean and unobstructed. Verify that the correct measurement unit (Lux/FC) is selected. Check for strong electromagnetic interference nearby.
• Display shows 'OL' (Over-range): The measured light intensity exceeds the current range. If in manual ranging mode, switch to a higher range. If in auto-ranging, the light intensity is beyond the device's maximum capacity.
• La pantalla és tènue o parpelleja: Pot ser que la bateria estigui baixa. Substitueixi la bateria.
