Initial Start-Up – Setup 4.2 Battery Operation Installing the Battery Pack ! Attention! If a DUT is connected to the test socket, disconnect it first. Do not disconnect the test system from the mains while changing the battery pack, if you want to prevent the loss of current configuration data. 1 2 Opening the Battery Compartment Lid Loosen the two captive slotted screws with the help of a coin. Remove the battery compartment lid. Connect and insert the battery pack (see figure). 1.
Initial Start-Up – Setup Rechargeable battery (charging process) In contrast to conventional, commercially available storage battery-operated instruments, an inserted battery set is not recharged until it falls below a fixed threshold. This is due to the fact that the SECUSTAR FM+/SECULIFE SB may not be permanently recharged while being changed between different types of mains connections. This would corrupt the rechargeable battery set within a short period of time.
Initial Start-Up – Setup Ð Enter the appropriate password using the keyboard which appears at the display. The password is acknowledged by tapping OK, and is displayed as a series of asterisks. This point can be skipped if the test person name is not password protected. Ð Tap the Login key. Note It is also possible to create test persons who do not require a password. Login With Password (administrator status) Ð Select the test person name “Admin” from the list.
Initial Start-Up – Setup Standby Mode The system should be switched to the standby mode during breaks in order to deactivate the energy intensive background illumination and extend the service life of the rechargeable batteries.

Appendix 10.4 Tests with Accessories 10.4.1 Illuminance Measurement For lighting and illumination technicians Illuminance measurements are required for planning, installation, testing and monitoring of lighting systems, as well as for defining illumination conditions for hygienic, physiological, psychological and/or safety reasons. Areas of application, terminology, tasks, requirements and practical guidelines are set forth to a great extent in the DIN standards.
Appendix Basic Light Technology Theory Illuminance indicates with how much intensity an area is illuminated. The unit of measure for illuminance is the lux (abbreviated lx). The lux is defined as follows: a light source with a luminous intensity of 1 candela (abbreviated cd) at a distance of 1 meter has an illuminance value of 1 lux.

Maintenance – Calibration 11 Maintenance and Calibration 11.1 Housing Maintenance No special maintenance is required for the housing. Keep outside surfaces clean. Use a slightly dampened cloth for cleaning. Avoid the use of cleansers, abrasives or solvents. 11.2 Battery Pack Maintenance Depleted rechargeable batteries require at least 3 hours recharging time. If the batteries have been excessively depleted, the test system cannot be switched on.
Maintenance – Calibration 11.4 Recalibration The respective measuring task and the stress to which your measuring instrument is subjected affect the ageing of the components and may result in deviations from the guaranteed accuracy. If high measuring accuracy is required and the instrument is frequently used in field applications, combined with transport stress and great temperature fluctuations, we recommend a relatively short calibration interval of 1 year.
