The MAVO-SPOT 2 is a high-precision measuring instrument with a measuring angle of 1°. Luminance
measurements at distances of 1 meter to infinity can be performed with the instrument. The MAVO-SPOT 2
features mirror reflex optics with a 15° field of view, a sharply marked 1° measuring circle at the center and a
focusing mechanism.
The close-up lenses available as accessories make it possible to shorten measuring distance to 34 cm. Luminance
can be measured directly at displays with the help of the attachment for contact measurements.
The light sensitive sensor is color corrected, that is its spectral sensitivity is matched to the spectral luminous
efficiency of the human eye in daylight V(

). Classification of luminance meters is specified in DIN 5032, part 7, and
in DIN EN 13032, appendix B. The MAVO-SPOT 2 fulfills class B requirements in accordance with these
standards. The instrument is equipped with a measured value memory module with up to 1000 memory locations
which can be read out and processed either directly via the keypad and display, or via the integrated USB port with
the help of the included standard software.
Suitable for the measurement of,
for example:

