1. Introduktion

The BTMETER BT-881E is a digital illuminance meter designed for precise measurement of light intensity. It provides accurate readings in both Lux and Foot Candles (FC) across a wide range, making it suitable for various applications including home, garden, aquarium, plant cultivation, schools, offices, and LED lighting assessments. Its user-friendly design features a rotatable sensor and data recording capabilities for enhanced convenience.

2. Nøglefunktioner

  • Høj nøjagtighed: Provides reliable measurements with an accuracy of +/- 4% readings +/- 0.5% f.s (at 10,000 Lux; 1,000 FC) and +/- 5% readings +/- 10 digits (at 300,000 Lux; 30,000 FC).
  • Hurtigt svar: Features a rapid sampling rate of 2-3 times per second, allowing for instant light measurements.
  • Bredt måleområde: Capable of measuring luminance from 0.01 to 300,000 Lux (0.01 to 30,000 Foot Candles) with a resolution of 0.01.
  • Nem at bruge: Equipped with a 270° rotatable light sensor, eliminating the need to reposition the entire meter for different measurement angles.
  • Dataoptagelse: Allows storage of up to 33 sets of readings for later review og analyse.
  • Temperaturtestning: Includes functionality for temperature measurement.
  • Relativ måletilstand: Displays the difference between current and recorded data, useful for comparative analysis.

5.1 Tænd/sluk

Tryk på Magt knap (Tænd / sluk -knap ikon) for at tænde eller slukke enheden.

5.2 Valg af enhed (Lux/FC)

Tryk på Lux/Fc button to switch between Lux and Foot Candle measurement units.

5.3 Baggrundslys

Tryk på LYS button to toggle the display backlight on or off for visibility in different lighting conditions.

5.4 Datahold

Tryk på HOLDE knappen for at fryse den aktuelle aflæsning på displayet. Tryk igen for at slippe.

5.5 Maks./min.-måling

Tryk på MAX/MIN button to cycle through maximum, minimum, and current readings. This allows you to track the highest and lowest light levels detected during a measurement session.

5.6 Relative Measurement

Tryk på REL button to enter relative measurement mode. This mode displays the difference between the current measurement and a previously recorded reference value.

6. Måletilstande

The BT-881E supports three primary measurement modes:

  • Min. tilstand: Displays the lowest light intensity recorded since the mode was activated.
  • Max tilstand: Displays the highest light intensity recorded since the mode was activated.
  • Relativ tilstand: Shows the difference between the current light reading and a set reference point.

10. Fejlfinding

If you encounter issues with your BTMETER BT-881E, consider the following common solutions:

  • Ingen skærm-/strømproblemer: Kontroller batteriinstallationen, og sørg for, at batterierne ikke er afladede. Udskift om nødvendigt.
  • Upræcise læsninger: Ensure the sensor is clean and unobstructed. Verify that the correct measurement unit (Lux/FC) is selected. Avoid measuring in rapidly changing light conditions if stable readings are required.
  • Skærmen reagerer ikke: Prøv at slukke og tænde enheden igen. Hvis problemet fortsætter, skal du fjerne batterierne og sætte dem i igen.

For persistent problems, contact BTMETER customer support.
