2.8 Ever-Ready Case
A leather ever-ready case for the luxmeter and a
leather quill for the sensor are included as standard
equipment. A clip is provided at the rear for attach-
ing the instrument to a belt.
A window in the ever-ready case, as well as an
opening for the sensor in the quill, allow for outdoor
use even under inclement weather conditions.
The leather quills for the sensor and the luminance
attachment (accessory) can be fastened to the ever-
ready case with Velcro strips at the right and left.
When storing the equipment, please place the sen-
sor in the quill with the measuring aperture turned
away from the opening. So the light sensitive sur-
face will be protected.
3 Accessories
Separately available accessories expand the
applications range of the instrument.
Calculator for the camera man
and the professional photographer
The measuring results from any luxmeter can be
selected at this exposure calculating disc with a
diameter of approximately 110 mm, and the corre-
sponding exposure time / aperture combinations
can be viewed. Values can be read from the calcu-
lating disc in the following units of measure: lux (lx)
and footcandles (fc), or candela per square meter
(cd/m²) and footlamberts (fL).
Luminance Attachment
The luminance attachment measures reflected light,
i.e. the luminance of a surface, with a measuring
angle of
ε 1
/
10
= 20°.
The measuring instrument is informed by a touch-
sensitive switch as to whether or not the luminance
attachment has been attached and which one.
The luminance measurement value is indicated at
the display with the correct numeric value and unit
of measure (see also chapter 2.6, page 5).
A different measuring attachment is required for
measurements of the luminance either in cd per
square meter or in in footlamberts (fL).
