3.1 Komponente
- Senzor svjetla: Located at the top of the device, protected by a white dome. This silicon photodiode measures incident light.
- LCD zaslon: A 5-digit display showing measurement values, units (lux/fc), and function indicators (e.g., AUTO RANGE, HOLD, MIN, MAX).
- Gumb za napajanje (Uključeno/Isključeno): Uključuje ili isključuje uređaj.
- Tipka CAL: Used for zero adjustment.
- Tipka HOLD: Zamrzava trenutno očitanje na zaslonu.
- fc/lx Button: Toggles between foot-candle (fc) and lux (lx) measurement units.
- Gumb RANGE: Manually selects measurement ranges or activates auto-ranging.
- Odjeljak za baterije: Located at the rear, houses the 9V battery.

4.2 Početno uključivanje
Pritisnite tipku Vlast button to turn on the device. The display will illuminate and show a reading. If the battery symbol appears, replace the battery.
5. Upute za rad
5.1 Mjerenje
- Turn on the device using the Vlast dugme.
- Provjerite je li senzor svjetla čist i neovisan.
- Position the light sensor at the location where illuminance is to be measured. Ensure the sensor is facing the light source directly for accurate readings.
- The current illuminance value will be displayed on the LCD.

5.2 Changing Measurement Units (fc/lx)
Pritisnite tipku fc/lx button to toggle between foot-candles (fc) and lux (lx) units. The selected unit will be indicated on the display.
5.3 Funkcija HOLD
Pritisnite tipku DRŽI gumb za zamrzavanje trenutnog očitanja na zaslonu. Ponovno pritisnite gumb za otpuštanje zadržavanja i nastavak mjerenja uživo.
5.4 Zero Adjustment (CAL)
Za izvođenje podešavanja nule:
- Place the light sensor in a completely dark environment (e.g., cover it with the protective cap or place it in a dark box).
- Pritisnite tipku KAL button. The display should show "0.00" or a value very close to zero.
- If the display does not show zero, repeat the process.
5.5 Odabir raspona
The device typically operates in auto-ranging mode. To manually select a range or cycle through available ranges, press the RASPON button. The display will indicate the active range. Press and hold the RASPON button to return to auto-ranging mode.
5.6 Min/Max Function (Power-Up Option)
The PCE-170 A supports Min/Max recording. To activate this feature, refer to the power-up options indicated on the device label (e.g., press and hold a specific button during power-on). This function records the minimum and maximum illuminance values detected during a measurement session.
6. Održavanje
6.1 Čišćenje
Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Keep the light sensor clean and free of dust or smudges, as this can affect measurement accuracy.
6.2 Skladištenje
When not in use, store the PCE-170 A Light Meter in its carrying case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove the battery if storing for extended periods.
7. Rješavanje problema
| Problem | Mogući uzrok | Otopina |
