The PCE-174 Environmental Tester with memory for up to 16,000 readings is used for measuring light in industry, agriculture, and research. The Environmental Tester is also used for determining illumination in the workplace, shop window displays, and by designers. It meets with all international standards within the category for Environmental Testers.
The Environmental Tester displays measurement results in lux and FootCandle. Please consider that 1 FC is equal to 10.70 lux. The device automatically detects the peak value, when this value is retained for a minimum 10 µs. Thanks to the possibility of selecting the measurement range, the PCE-174 Environmental Tester converts into a high precision instrument that is easy to use. The Environmental Tester can also be used by inexperienced personnel. Of course, when light is being measured, the ambient conditions must be taken into consideration. As such, the distance must be fixed and the angle between the Environmental Tester and the object being measured to obtain result of the highest repeatability.
