Safety Precaution CAUTION Be extremely careful for the following conditions while measuring � Do not operate the meter under the environment with explosive gas (material), combustible gas (material) steam or filled with dust. � In order to avoid reading incorrect data, please replace the battery immediately when the symbol “ ” appears on the LCD. � In order to avoid the damage caused by contamination or static electricity, do not touch the circuit board before you take any adequate action. � Operating Environment: Indoors use. This instrument has been designed for being used in an environment of pollution degree 2. � Operation Altitude: Up to 2000M. � Operating Temperature & Humidity: 5 ℃ ~ 40 ℃, 0%~ 80%RH. � Storage Temperature & Humidity: -10 ℃ ~ 60 ℃, 0%~ 70%RH. � EMC: EN61326-1(2006), IEC 61000-4-2(2008, IEC 61000-4-3(2006) + (2007).

being shown is popularly known as illumination. The measuring unit in both United Kingdom and America is known as footcandles light, but in Europe it is also known as meter candlelight. One foot-candles light is the illumination of light that falls on one side which is one foot away from a one foot-candlelight and exactly intersecting with the light. Its abbreviated form is written as 1 Fc=1 Lm/ft, similarly, one-meter candlelight is the illumination of light that falls on a side which is one meter away from a one meter candlelight and exactly intersecting the light. It is also called Lux i,e. the flux of light being received in each sq. meter is called the illumination of one lumen. 1 FC=10.764 LUX, 1 LUX=0.09290 FC, therefore,Nbr. of foot (meter) candlelight = Nbr. of Lumen ────────────── Area(sq. foot or sq. meter) Nbr. of Lumen=Nbr. of foot (or meter)x area
