4. ZERO ADJUSTMENT & CALIBRATION
•
With the sensor cover securely in place and the meter turned on, the
LCD display should indicate "000" or "00.0" depending on the selected
range.
•
A slight variation will not affect readings; however, if a precise reading
is required you may use the ZERO SETTING (7) terminal to reset the
unit.
•
To make an adjustment, press the 200 RANGE (5) button and cover
the PHOTO SENSOR (11).
•
Using a small screwdriver, turn the ZERO SETTING (7) terminal until
"00.0" appears on the LCD.
•
To maintain accuracy, annual laboratory calibration is recommended.
