PeakTech 5086 Digital LED Lux Meter User Manual

1. Inleiding en oorview

The PeakTech 5086 is a precise 3 3/4 digit (max. 3999) LCD digital LED Lux Meter designed for measuring the light intensity of various light sources, including LED, fluorescent, and traditional incandescent lamps with different light colors. It measures in Lux (lx), Footcandle (FC), or Candela (cd).

Unlike simpler lux meters that are typically calibrated for incandescent bulbs at 2856 K and provide inaccurate results for different color temperatures, the PeakTech 5086 allows for the adjustment of various light source factors. This enables accurate measurements for neon lamps, gloeilamp lamps, red, blue, yellow LEDs, or daylight. The device features 10 freely adjustable correction factors for different light sources, 99 memory locations for measurement values, and useful measurement functions such as minimum, maximum, and average value tracking, as well as data hold. This makes it suitable for professional applications in occupational safety or lighting system evaluation.

Sleutel kenmerke:

• Measures light intensity in Lux (lx), Footcandle (FC), or Candela (cd).
• 10 freely adjustable light source factors for various lamp tipes.
• Suitable for colored light sources, LEDs, and other bulb types.
• Measurement refresh rate: approximately 2.5 times per second.
• External sensor with cosine angle correction.
• Data Hold, Minimum/Maximum/Average (AVG) measurement functions.
• Automatic range selection and zero adjustment.
• 99 memory locations for storing measurement values.

5. Opstelling

5.1 Battery installasie

The PeakTech 5086 typically comes with batteries pre-installed. If not, or if batteries need replacement:

1. Vind die batteryklepdeksel aan die agterkant van die hoofeenheid.
2. Open the cover by sliding or unscrewing it (refer to the diagram in the full manual if unsure).
3. Insert the required batteries (usually AAA or 9V, check the compartment for markings) ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
4. Maak die batterykompartement se deksel stewig toe.

5.2 Verbinding van die sensor

The external sensor is permanently attached via a coiled cable. Ensure the cable is not damaged or excessively stretched. The sensor head should be clean and the protective cap removed before taking measurements.

6. Bedryfsinstruksies

6.1 Aan-/afskakel

• Druk die aan / af-knoppie (⏻) to turn the device on. The display will illuminate and show a reading.
• Druk en hou die Power-knoppie (⏻) for a few seconds to turn the device off.

6.2 Unit Selection (Lux/FC/Cd)

• Druk die LX/FC/CD button to cycle through the available measurement units: Lux (lx), Footcandle (FC), and Candela (cd). The selected unit will be displayed on the LCD.

6.3 Nul-aanpassing

• Before taking measurements, especially in low light conditions, it is recommended to perform a zero adjustment.
• Place the protective cap over the sensor to block all light.
• Druk die NUL button. The display should show "0" or a very small value.
• Remove the protective cap before measuring.

6.4 Setting Light Source Factors (L.S.)

The PeakTech 5086 allows for compensation of different light sources. There are 10 adjustable factors (L.S. 0 to L.S. 9).

1. Druk en hou die HOLD/L.S. button until "L.S." appears on the display, indicating you are in Light Source factor adjustment mode.
2. Gebruik die op (▲) en Af (▼) buttons to select one of the 10 factor memory locations (L.S. 0 to L.S. 9).
3. Druk HOLD/L.S. again to enter the adjustment for the selected factor.
4. Gebruik die op (▲) en Af (▼) buttons to adjust the factor value. Consult the full manual or light source specifications for appropriate values.
5. Druk HOLD/L.S. to confirm the setting and exit the adjustment mode.

6.5 Data Vashou Funksie
