Notes on Use
6__________________________________________________
Notes on Use_____________________________________________
NOTE When taking measurements from ordinarylighting fixtures, the display will sometimes"roll", and be hard to read. This is generallydue to fluctuations in the line voltage to thefixture or shadows caused by people in thearea etc. Please note this in measuring.This instrument is equipped with a backlight inthe display for measuring under the lowilluminance. The brightness is set lowest, forthe low consumption of the batteries. It alsogoes out automatically in approx. eightseconds, after it is turned on, in order toprevent the effect of backlight on theilluminance.The reference level as marked on the faceplateis the tip of the light sensor.The indicator appears when battery voltagebecomes low. Replace the batteries as soonas possible.Do not take this instrument apart or subject itto any shock or impact.

Chapter 1Overview
1.1 Product Overview
The 3423 is suited for a wide range ofapplications involving illumination equipment,lighting work and facility management.The instrument has five measurement ranges,20 lx to 200,000 lx, so it can measure the widerange of illuminance.It can measure, with the detector separatedfrom the display and has a large LCD easy toread in the display, for user's convenience.Moreover, the backlight allows to take readingseasily under the low illuminance. (The display isheld when the backlight turns on and thebacklighting has no effect on the measurement. )By using the silicon diode and optical filter inthe detector, the visual perception is correctedso that the perception of colors is close tohuman perception. The instrument has amicrocomputer and can perform the auto range,one-touch zero adjustment of analog output. AnAC adapter is also available, as well asbatteries, and useful for long-timemeasurement.

Chapter 3Measurement Procedure
1. Attach the supplied light sensor cap to thedetector and set the POWER switch to(ON).
2. Press the 0 ADJ key if any digits appear inthe LCD display. Then "ADJ" is indicated andthe zero adjustment for all ranges isperformed at the same time.
3. When "ADJ" disappears, remove the lightsensor cap and put the detector where themeasurement is taken.
4. When powering on, "AUTO" is indicated inthe LCD display, and the Auto Range modeis selected.When fixing the range, press the RANGE keyto select the optimum range. ("AUTO"disappears and the selected range is fixed.Then the wider measurement range isselected by pressing the RANGE key. The 20lx range is selected after 200,000 lx range. )Press the RANGE key for more than onesecond to change the Manual Range to theAuto Range.
5. "OF" is indicated, when the measured valueexceeds the measurement range.
6. Take the reading, When it is stable.
14__________________________________________________
Notes on Use_____________________________________________
7. Press the HOLD key to hold the reading.Press it again to release holding. (Theanalog output is not held. The rangeswitching and zero adjustment is impossible,when holding. )
8. Press the LIGHT key for more than onesecond to turn on the backlight. The readingis held automatically, when it lights.The backlight lights for approx. eightseconds, and then goes out automatically.(Holding is not released after the backlightgoes out. If you press the LIGHT key againwithin eight seconds, the backlight goes outand holding is released. )
9. When using the analog output, connect theANALOG OUT terminal and the recorder etc.with the 9094 OUTPUT CORD (option).The analog output value varies by 0.1 mV asthe display value varies by 1 digit.When the illuminance varies, if the AutoRange is selected, the range may changeand the full scale value may vary. In thiscase, use in the Manual Range.
10. When battery power is running low, theindication lights. Please change the batteries.
11. When measuring with the detector separatedform the display, pull the detector slowly,holding the display and pressing both ejectionhooks, after making sure that the POWERswitch is (OFF). Use the 9436CONNECTION CABLE (with case) (option) toconnect the detector and the display.
12. After finishing measurement, attach the lightsensor cap and set the POWER switch to(OFF).
15__________________________________________________
Notes on Use_____________________________________________
NOTE When the light sensor cap is not attached(more than approx. 1 lx is indicated), "CAP" isindicated. Make sure that it is attached.If performing the zero adjustment soon afterpowering on, several digits may not disappear.In this case, perform the zero adjustmentagain.Do not connect or disconnect the AC adapter,and the detector and the display, with thePOWER switch on.Setting the POWER switch to (ON) soon aftersetting to (OFF) may cause malfunction. Inthis case, power on in several seconds aftersetting to (OFF).Use the backlight under low illiminance. It maybe difficult to find it under ordinary illuminance.as the brightness is set lowest for the lowconsumption of batteries.

6.2 Relative Spectral ResponseCharacteristics in the VisibleSpectrum
Human perception of brightness ranges from360 nm to 830 nm in the wavelength and is themaximum at 555 nm.The International Commission on Illumination(CIE) has established comparative standards forluminosity, setting the maximum perception for1 and indicating the amount of perception ofeach wavelength by the relative value, andcalculating the average of many people. In the3423, the relative spectral responsecharacteristics are close to the comparativestandards for luminosity.The deviation from the comparative standardsfor luminosity is determined by the fs value ofJIS standard C 1609-1993.
