HHLM-1MV
Light Transducer
INTRODUCTION
This instrument is a portable easy use, compact-sized light transducer
designed for simple one hand operation. Provides lux unit measurements.
SAFETY INFORMATION
It is recommended that you read the safety and operation instructions before
using the lightmeter.
WARNING
• To avoid electric shock, do not operate this product in wet or damp
conditions.
• To avoid injury or fire hazard, do not operate this product in an explosive
atmosphere.
• To avoid eye injury, wear eye protection if there is a possibility of exposure
to high-intensity rays.
• Do not immerse in liquids, clean the sensor head using only a damp cloth.
• Cover sensor head when not in use to extend silicon photodiode sensor life.

Spectral response: CIE photopic
The CIE photopic curve is an international standard for the color response
of the average human eye
Acceptance angle: ¦¢2<2% cosine corrected (150°)
Total accuracy for CIE standard illuminant A (2856K): ±(3%rdg + 10dgts)

CIE standard illuminant A can be realised by means of CIE standard
source A, which is defined as: A gas-filled tungsten-filament lamp
operating at a correlated colour temperature of 2856K
Temperature Coefficient: 0.1x (specified accuracy)/°C (<18°C or >28°C)
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Push buttons
Range Select Button
Press "RANGE" button to select the desired lux range. Each time you press
"RANGE" button, the range (and the input range annunciator) incremants,
and a new value is displayed.

OPERATION
1. Plug the light transducer test leads into the Vdc input jack and common or
ground input jack on the DMM. Observe polarity.
2. Set the DMM to the 200mV range only.
3. Set the light transducer power switch to the desired range (use range button
select 20lux, 200lux, 2000lux, 20000lux) or only 200000lux range.
4. Remove the sensor head cover.
5. Hold the sensor head steady and make certain that the light source completely
fills the cosine correction dome.
6. Move away from the sensor head to avoid shadowing it. The sensor head has
a 1.5 meter cable to allow separation between the observer and the measure-
ment location.
7. DMM reading multiplies light transducer illuminance value. If magnitude of lux
is not known, press light transducer RANGE button to the highest range and
reduce until a satisfactory reading is obtained.
8. Cover sensor head to extend sensor life.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
• Keep the plastic domed cosine corrector clean and free of scratches. It may
be cleaned with a soft cloth and isopropyl alcohol.
• When light is received from many directions simultaneously, take special care
to avoid reflections or shadowing the sensor with your body.
• For best accuracy, repeat the measurement several times to ensure that the
light source has remained stable.
• Avoid flexing the cable excessively at either end of the cable.
• The Inverse-square Law
The law stating that the illuminance E at a point on a surface varies directly with
the intensity I of a point source, and inversely as the square of the distance d
between the source and the point. If the surface at the point is normal to the
direction of the incident light, the law is expressed by E=I/d2.
• Cosine Law
The law that the illuminance on any surface varies as the cosine of the angle
of incidence. The angle of incidence q is the angle between the normal to the
surface and the direction of the incident light. The inverse-square low and the
cosine law can be combined as E=(I cos q )/d2.

Cleaning
Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and detergent, do not use abrasives
or solvents.
