Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech 403125 Digital Light Meter. This

portable, compact light meter provides lux and fc measurements. This meter includes a

backlit LCD display and offers PEAK HOLD and DATA HOLD functionality. This meter is

shipped fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years of reliable

service.

Safety Instructions

It is recommended that the user read and understand the safety and operational

instructions before using the light meter. Please read the following WARNINGS:

•To avoid electrical shock do not operate this meter in wet or damp conditions.

•Do not immerse the meter in liquid. For cleaning instructions, refer to the

maintenance section of this manual.

•To avoid injury and fire hazard, do not use this meter in potentially explosive

environments.

•To avoid eye injury, wear eye protection if there is the possibility of exposure

to high intensity light rays.

•Cover the sensor head when not in use. This will extend the life of the photo-

diode employed in the sensor head.

standard illuminant ‘A’ is defined as a gas-filled Tungsten-

filament lamp operating at a correlated color temperature of

2856K.

Meter Description

1. LCD display

2. Pushbuttons:

•Backlight and PEAK button – Momentarily press this button to

activate/deactivate the Peak Hold function. The PMAX display icon will appear.

In the Peak Hold mode of operation, only the highest reading will be displayed.

Press and hold this button for 2 seconds to switch on the backlight. Press and

hold this button again for 2 seconds to turn the backlight off.

•RANGE button – Press to select the

desired lux or fc range. Each press of the

RANGE button selects a new range. The

available ranges are 20, 200, 2000, and

20,000 lux or foot candles. Displays in

the 20,000 range must be multiplied by

10.

•HOLD button – Press to freeze the

displayed value (the Hicon will switch

on). Press again to exit the Data Hold

mode.

3. Sensor cable – Connects sensor to meter

4. Sensor (sensor cover not shown)

5. Sensor mounting plugs - Fits into docking

jacks at top of meter

6. Docking jacks – Sensor can be attached here

for storage or while measuring.

7. Function switch – Three positions OFF, LUX,

and FC

8. Handle and battery compartment (rear)

9. Analog output jack

403125 V3.1 9/065

Operation

1. Set the function switch to the desired unit of measure; lux or fc.

2. Remove the light sensor cover.

3. Hold the sensor head steady or place it in a secure area and allow the sensor to collect

light. The light must encompass the entire sensor dome. Ensure that the user does not

cast a shadow on the sensor dome. The sensor is connected to the meter by a 4’

(1.5m) cable. While measuring, the sensor can be kept docked on the meter (as it is

shipped) or it may be disconnected and used remotely.

4. Read the illuminance value on the display. If the approximate magnitude of the light is

not known, step through the ranges using the RANGE button until a measurement is

displayed. If x10 appears on the LCD, the meter is in the 20,000 range and the reading

must be multiplied by 10. The OL (overload) icon appears if readings are out of range.

5. While taking a measurement, press the HOLD button to freeze a displayed reading.

Press HOLD again to release the displayed reading. The Hicon will appear on the

display when the meter is in the HOLD mode.

6. If it is desired to know only the highest reading of a given measurement period, press

the PEAK button at the start of a measurement period. The PMAX display icon will

switch on in the PEAK mode and the display will only show the highest reading.

Momentarily press the PEAK button again to exit the PEAK mode.

7. Press and hold the PEAK button for seconds to activate the display backlight. Press

and hold the PEAK hold button again for 2 seconds to switch the backlighting off.

8. Cover the sensor when not in use.

Measurement Considerations

1. For best results, repeat measurements several times to ensure that the light source

has remained stable.

2. Avoid flexing the cable excessively at either end.

3. The Inverse Square Law: The law states that the illuminance Eat a point on a surface

varies directly with the intensity Iof a point source, and inversely for the square of the

distance dbetween the source and the point. If the surface at the point is perpendicular

to the direction of the incident light, the law is expressed as E = I / d2.

4. Cosine Law: The law states that the illuminance on any surface varies with the cosine

of the angle of incidence. The angle of incidence θ is the angle of the surface plane

and the direction of the incident light. The inverse-square law and the cosine law can

be combined as follows: E = (I cos θ) / d2.

CIE Photopic Curve

Analog Output

The meter can be connected to a chart recorder or other analog recording device via the

output jack at the bottom of the meter. A mono (two wire) 2.5mm plug and cable (not

supplied) are required. The analog output is 0.1mVDC per display digit.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

When the battery power falls below the operating voltage, the battery symbol appears on

the display. If the battery symbol appears on the LCD or if the LCD does not switch on

when the meter is turned on, replace the batteries as follows:

1. Remove the Phillips screw on the back of the meter.

2. Open the battery compartment.

3. Replace the four (4) ‘AAA’ 1.5V batteries observing polarity.

4. Replace the battery compartment cover and secure the compartment screw.

Cleaning

Use only a lightly damp cloth to clean the meter. Do not use abrasives, solvents, or harsh

detergents. Keep the plastic sensor dome clean and free from scratches; it may be

cleaned with a soft cloth and isopropyl alcohol.
