3 MAVOLUX Operation
3.1 Switch On
– Make Measurement
Press down the on/off key and the MAVOLUX will start up in measuring mode and will immediately
be measuring at 2 times per second. The instrument is in the function „AUTO“, i.e. the MAVOLUX will
select the best suited measuring range for the existing light level. By pressing one of the range keys,
one of the measuring ranges can be set. Scrolling up or down through additional measuring ranges is
accomplished by briefly pressing one of the range keys. If both keys are pressed and held
simultaneously, the instrument is returned to „AUTO RANGING“.
3.2 Selecting Measurement Unit lx or fc
Use the key lx/fc to select the required unit for the read-out
– lux or footcandle.
3.3 Overload and Zero Point Indication
When exceeding one of the measuring ranges „OL“ (Overload)
appears in the display.
The zero point indication may be achieved by putting the protective
cap over the light collector of the photometer head.
