Operation

PowerON‐OFF 

PressandholdthePowerbuttonforatleast2secondsandthenreleasetopowerthemeter.To

powerthemeterOFF,momentarilypressthePowerbutton.

TakingMeasurements

1. SwitchthemeterONandremovethesensor’sprotectivecovertoexposethelightsensor

dome.ThedisplayshouldswitchON,ifnotcheckthatbatteriesareinstalledandfresh.

2. Themetermeasurestheintensityofthelight(illuminance)thatstrikesthesensordomein

footcandlesandluxunits(1fc=10.76lux),displayingthismeasuredvalueonitsLCD.

3. Positionthemeterandlightsourcesothatthelightstrikesthesensordomestraighton

(perpendicular)withaslittleanangleaspossible.

4. Themeter’sdisplaycanshowavalueupto3999.However,forreadingsthatrepresent

measurementshigherthanthis,themeterusesx10feature(right‐mostdecimalpoint

flashing).Forexample,torepresentameasurementof39,999themeterwilldisplay3999

withtheright‐mostdigitflashing.

AutoPowerOFF

Tosavebatterylife,themeterpowersdownautomaticallyafterapproximately12minutesof

inactivity.

Enable/DisableAutoPowerOff

WhilethemeterisON,pressandholdthePowerbuttonforatleast2seconds(andthenrelease)

todisabletheAutoPowerOFFutility;theClocksymbolwillswitchOFF.ToenabletheAuto

PowerOFFutility,repeatthisprocess.

LUX/FCButton

PresstheLUX/FCbuttontotogglebetweenLuxandFC(foot‐candles)measurementunits.

LT40-EU-EN v1.3 9/13

MAX/MINButton

Themetercanrecordthemaximum,minimum,andaveragereadingsasdescribedbelow:

1. Momentarilypressthe“MAX/MIN”buttonandthemeterwillbegintotrackthe

maximum/average/minimummeasurements;the“MAX”iconwilldisplayatthetopofthe

LCDwindowindicatingthatthemeterisnowshowingthemaximumreading.Thereading

willnotchangeuntilahigherreadingisregistered.

2. Pressthe“MAX/MIN”buttonagaintoswitchfrom“MAX”to“AVG”,wherethemeterwill

showtheaveragemeasurementvalue.The“AVG”iconwillbedisplayedabovethedisplayed

value.

3. Pressthe“MAX/MIN”buttonagaintochangethemodefrom“AVG”to“MIN”,wherethe

meterwillshowtheminimumvaluemeasured.The“MIN”iconwillbedisplayed.

4. Pressthe“MAX/MIN”buttonagaintoswitchfrom“MIN”backto“MAX”.

5. Toexitthismode,holdthe“MAX/MIN”buttonforatleast2seconds.TheMAX/AVG/MIN

iconsshouldallbeswitchedOFFwhentheunitreturnstothenormaloperatingmode.

Data‘Hold’Button

PresstheHOLDbuttontofreezesthecurrentreadingontheLCD.PresstheHOLDbuttonagain

towardthelightsource.

2. Simultaneouslypressandholdboththe“CAL/ZERO”buttonandthepowerbuttonforat

least2seconds.

3. Releasethebuttonswhen“CAL”isdisplayedontheLCDscreen.

4. Pressandholdthe“CAL”buttonfor2moreseconds,andtheLT40willpowerdown.

5. Themeterisnowcalibrated.

ZEROCalibration

1. Ensurethattheprotectivecoverisattachedtothelightsensor.

2. PowerthemeterandtheLCDshoulddisplay‘0’.

3. Momenarilypressthe“ZERO”buttonforthezeroadjustmentandtheCALiconwill

switchON.

4. TheCALiconwillswitchOFFwhenthecalibrationhasbeencompleted.

5. IftheprotectivecapisnotcoveringthesensorwhentheZEOcalibrationisstartedthe

LCDdisplaywillread“CAP”.Inthiscase,pleasecoverthesensorwiththecapandrestart

thisprocedure.

MeasurementConsiderationsandUserTips

Formaximumaccuracyallowthelightbeingmeasuredtofalldirectlyonthesensoras

perpendicularaspossiblewithaminimalangleofincidence.



Whenthemeterisnotinusepleasekeeptheprotectivecapinplaceoverthelightsensor.

Thiswillprolongthelifeofthesensor.

Whenthemeteristobestoredforlongperiods,pleaseremovethebatteriesandstorethem

separately.Batteriescanleakandcausedamagetothemeter’scomponents.

Avoidareasofhightemperatureandhumiditywhenusingthisinstrument.



BatteryReplacementandMaintenance

Cleaningandstorage

1. Thewhiteplasticsensordomeshouldbecleanedwithadampclothwhennecessary.Use

onlyamildsoapifneeded.Donotusesolvents,abrasives,orharshdetergentstocleanthe

dome.

2. Storethemeterinanareawithmoderatetemperatureandrelativehumidity.

BatteryReplacement

Whenthebatterypowerdecreasestoacriticallevel,thelowbatterysymbol“”willappearon

theLCD.Replacethe2x1.5VAAAbatterieslocatedintherearbatterycompartment.The

batterycompartmentslideseasilydownwardforremoval.Ensurethatthecompartmentcoveris

securelyfastenedbeforeusingthemeter.



Neverdisposeofusedbatteriesorrechargeablebatteriesinhouseholdwaste.

Asconsumers,usersarelegallyrequiredtotakeusedbatteriestoappropriate

collectionsites,theretailstorewherethebatterieswerepurchased,orwherever

batteriesaresold.

Disposal:Donotdisposeofthisinstrumentinhouseholdwaste.Theuserisobligatedtotake

end‐of‐lifedevicestoadesignatedcollectionpointforthedisposalofelectricalandelectronic

equipment.



BatterySafetyReminders

oPleasedisposeofbatteriesresponsibly;observelocal,state,nationalregulations.

oNeverdisposeofbatteriesinafire;batteriesmayexplodeorleak.
