1. Instrument characteristic KF-10 photometric calibrator is a source of luminous exitance (radiated surface density of luminous flux) about 100lm/m2. It is designed to periodic tests luxmeters made by SONOPAN. The device generating illuminance about 100lx in reception field of photometric probe. Optical system and electronically controlled light source guarantee high stability of luminous flux. Very long life of used light source makes not expected to change it during the life of the device. Instrument is equipped with automatic switch off function. Time of single period is about 1min. Photometric calibrator is an indispensable tool for any ...

luxmeters. The influence of the color temperature of calibrator’s light source is negligible for luxmeters made by SONOPAN. 3. Front panel KALIBRATOR FOTOMETRYCZNY KF-10 100lx power indicator stability indicator photometric probe socket power switch Fig. 1. Front panel view. • Power switch is used to turning on / on the instrument. • Power indicator if the voltage of the power source is in the operating range – it lights green. If the voltage is too low – it lights red (calibrator should not be used in that case). • Stability indicator should blink in normal operation. It means that electronic control of light source works properl ...

4. Back panel power supply socket adjustment blockade Fig. 2. Back panel view. • Power supply socket is used to connect AC adapter +12V 0.6A (see p. 7. Power supply). • Adjustment blockade is secured against accidental use and it is needed during calibrator’s calibration and adjustment made by manufacturer or accredited laboratory (see p. 6. Adjustment). 5. Operation • Turn on luxmeter under test then check and eventually correct the zero with photometric probe covered. • Connect AC adapter to KF-10 photometric calibrator (Fig. 2). • Turn on the calibrator using key (Fig. 1), power indicator should lights green. • Wait till st ...

• Measure the illuminance. The time in which the photometric probe is being held in calibrator’s socket should not exceeded several seconds (max. 1 single working period of the calibrator), see also p. 9. Recommendations for instruments use. • Turn off the calibrator using key . 6. Adjustment KF-10 photometric calibrator has been initially adjusted by manufacturer in reference to factory standard (calibrated class A luxmeter) and adjustment blockade (Fig. 2) was sealed. Adjustment is possible but should be conducted only if the user have technical capabilities to do that. For that purpose remove the seal and loosen the screw blocking ph ...

9. Recommendations for instruments use • KF-10 photometric calibrator contains sensitive optical elements and requires careful handling. It is forbidden to expose instrument on falls, shakes neither any other factors which can cause mechanical damages. • Photometric probe socket cover should be removed only on measuring time. Photometric probe should be clean before placing it in socket. • To prevent photometric probe heating, the time in which the photometric probe is being held in calibrator’s socket should not exceeded several seconds (recommended time is 15 seconds, max. 1 single working period of the calibrator). • In case of n ...
