Gossen Mavolux 5032 C USB Digital Foot-Candle and Lux Meter

The precision lux meter
With accuracy according to class C, the industrial lux meter Mavolux 5032 C USB is primarily used for general applications. The smallest of four measuring ranges begins with an initial sensitivity of 0.1 lx. V(Lambda) adaptation deviation, which amounts to f1' < 7.5 %, is considerably better than the admissible error limit for class C.

With the help of an optional luminance attachment with an acceptance angle of 15 deg. , the meter can be used as an unclassified luminance meters. Luminance is measured in candelas per square meter (cd/m2) or foot lamberts (fL) and defines the perceived brightness of a back-lighted or reflecting surface. At Gossen, great emphasis is placed upon reliability by means of calibration. For purposes of documented evidence, a factory calibration certificate or a DAkkS calibration certificate can be ordered along. Depending on how the meter is used, we recommend a calibration interval of 12 to 24 months.

Maximum Precision
Classified measurement of illuminance in lx or fc in accordance with class C per DIN 5032-7, appendix B of IEC 13032-1 and CIE 69.

Cosine Correction
The luminosity of a flat measuring surface is proportional to the cosine of the incident angle of light. This relationship is taken into consideration by the sensor during evaluation.

Convenient Everyday Use
Simple operation, easy to read display, compact design, protection during transport in a high quality aluminum case.

Simple Expansion of Functions
Unclassified measurement of luminance in cd/m2 or fL is made possible by the optional luminance attachment. An additional adapter disc prevents erroneous measurements due to incidence of light from the side.

V(Lambda) Adaptation
The spectral sensitivity of the silicon photodiode is color corrected and corresponds to the spectral brightness sensitivity of the human eye V(Lambda). The quality of this adaptation represents a significant difference between the class B and class C variants.

Computer-Aided Measurement
The meter's continuous operating mode is assured thanks to power supply via the USB port. Meter control, as well as reading, display and storage of measured values, is managed with GLUX 2 software, included in the delivery contents.

Non-volatile Memory
100 measured values can be saved, retrieved or transmitted to a PC via the integrated USB port. Average illuminance values can also be calculated as a result.
