Introduction to the classification of illuminance meters
1. Visual illuminance meter: inconvenient to use, low accuracy, rarely used
2. Photoelectric illuminance meter: commonly used selenium photocell illuminance meter and silicon photocell illuminance meter
The composition and use requirements of the photoelectric illuminance meter:
1. Composition: Microammeter, shift knob, zero point adjustment, terminal, photocell, V(λ) correction filter, etc.
Commonly used selenium (Se) photocell or silicon (Si) photocell illuminance meter, also known as lux meter
2. Requirements for use:
The light meter probe is made of glass, which is easy to break and break, and the waterproof effect is poor when used
① Photocells should use selenium (Se) photocells or silicon (Si) photocells with good linearity; they can still maintain good stability and high sensitivity after working for a long time; when E is high, choose photocells with high internal resistance, which have low sensitivity and good linearity , not easily damaged by strong light
② There is a V(λ) correction filter inside, which is suitable for the illumination of light sources with different color temperatures, and the error is small
③Add a cosine angle compensator (opalescent glass or white plastic) in front of the photocell because when the incident angle is large, the photocell deviates from the cosine rule
④ The illuminance meter should work at room temperature or close to room temperature (photocell drift changes with temperature)
