instrument when it is switched on, or
if there is a break in the probe, the
"Err" message appears.
This message appears on the
display when the user tries to obtain
the difference between inputs A and
B when two probes of different types
are connected.
OFL
This symbol appears on the display
when the reading is out of scale.
PROBE CONNECTION
The HD 9021 may be fitted with either one or two probes; the instrument
has two DIN 45326 8-pole inputs, input A and input B. If only one input is
used, be careful when using the keys for input A or B.
The instrument recognizes the type of probe connected, which is distingui-
shed by a suitable code; it then gets ready to take the measurement accor-
ding to the characteristics of the probe connected. The connectors are
polarized and it takes a certain effort to insert or remove them; proceed in
such a way as to avoid damaging the connector, do not pull the cables to
disconnect the probe as there would be a risk of tearing them.
HOW TO MEASURE
Press the ON/OFF key to switch on the instrument. If the probes are con-
nected, the instrument is ready to indicate their value. The instrument may
be fitted with probes for measuring temperature (°C, °F), probes for photo-
metric measurements (lux, fcd) or radiometric probes (W/m2). When the
instrument is switched on the auto-power off device is activated; this
means that the instrument switches off automatically after 8 minutes
unless another key is pressed. If the instrument switches off automatically
while a measurement is being taken it is sufficient to switch it back on.
Measurements are taken by positioning the probe in the desired point; the
choice of the type of probe, the position and place depend on the type of
recording that the user intends to make.
The operator must be sure that his own presence, foreign bodies or outsi-
de sources do not interfere with the recording.
– 31 –
ENGLISH
The light emitted by a lamp varies with the square of the current, so there
may very well be variations in values during the test which the human eye
does not detect.
When measuring temperature choose the probe most suited for the case:
immersion, penetration or surface probes. It is sufficient to immerse the
probe in the liquid of which you want to measure the temperature or place
in contact with the surface; in the case of penetration probes, the tip of the
probe must penetrate the block in which the temperature is to be measu-
red.
METHOD OF USE
Although the probes are sturdy, they must be used with due care so as to
avoid spoiling, scoring or breaking the filters or diffusors. Do not use them
at temperatures higher than 50°C; be careful when there is a concentration
of luminous beams or arc lights.
- Do not use the probes in the presence of corrosive gases or liquids or
immerse them in liquids unless they are made for these purposes.
- Always use the most suitable probe for the measurement to be taken.
- Be careful with the range of use of the probe.
- Always clean the probes carefully after use.
- The instrument is resistant to water but it is not watertight, so if it should
fall into the water, take it out immediately and check that no water has
infiltrated.

LOW BATTERY WARNING
If the battery voltage falls below
acceptable levels, a beep sounds
every 30 seconds and the
symbol appears. From that
moment there remains about 1
hour autonomous operation,
however the battery should be
replaced as soon as possible.
To change the battery turn the
screw on the door of the battery
compartment in an anti-clockwise
direction.
After replacing it (with an ordinary
9V battery IEC 6LF22) close the
door, inserting the tag on the door
into the slot provided, and turn the
screw in a clockwise direction.
Ensure that the instrument is
switched off before changing
the battery.
FAULTY OPERATION WHEN SWITCHING ON AFTER CHANGING THE
BATTERY
If the instrument does not switch on or off after changing the battery,
repeat the battery changing procedure, waiting for a few minutes after
removing the battery to allow the circuit condenser capacities to be com-
pletely discharged, then insert the battery.
Check that the battery you are using is really efficient; sometimes unused
batteries have not been recently manufactured so, due to the auto-dischar-
ge phenomenon, their voltage level is insufficient for correct operation of
the instrument.
WARNING
If the instrument is not to be used for a long period the battery should be
removed.
*
If the battery is flat it must be replaced immediately.
Avoid leakage of fluid from the battery.
Always use good quality watertight batteries.

PROBES
The primary purpose of the probes is to detect and measure light in its
various aspects; for this reason there are different probes available to suit
the different requirements. Probes are required for measuring illuminance
(lux, foot-candle), irradiance (W/m2) and luminance (cd/m2). Each sensor
has its own work band completed by filters or diffusors which correct or
limit its range. The size of the silicon sensor used in the various probes is
7.34 mm2. The probes are housed in a container of black anodized alumi-
nium anticorodal UNI 9006/4; the correction filters are made of special
glass, while the diffusors are in quartz or plastic material specially desi-
gned for the purpose. The probe is complete with 2 metres of flexible cable
and a DIN 45236 8-pole connector inside which is an electronic circuit that
amplifies and codes the signal supplied by the sensor.
The probes are calibrated individually and are therefore interchan-
geable.

The study and field of application of ultraviolet rays has seen considerable
growth in the last decades. The ultraviolet field is conventionally subdivi-
ded into the following three "bands":
- the band between the wavelengths from 400 to 315 nm. which includes
radiations defined as type A or UVA;
- the band between the wavelengths from 315 to 280 nm. which includes
radiations defined as type B or UVB;
- the band between the wavelengths from 280 to 100 nm. which includes
radiations defined as type C or UVC.
The ultraviolet rays in natural light as it reaches earth through the atmo-
sphere are of type A.
The amount of UVA in natural light is much greater than that emitted by
traditional, incandescent bulbs, halogen or fluorescent lamps.
Save in the case of prolonged exposure, UVA rays possess a marked tan-
ning action; they are not harmful to man but they may give rise to biological
effects that may be beneficial for his health. The problem is the time of
exposure; in fact, UVA rays have a considerable photochemical action that
in the course of time produces phenomena of fading, cracking and decay.
Ultraviolet rays of type B or UVB have the property of encouraging the for-
mation of vitamin D, but unless suitable precautions are taken they may
cause erythema or conjunctivitis. The amount of UVB rays emitted by tra-
ditional lamps is very little in comparison with that emitted by sunlight and
they are also much less than UVA rays.

UVC rays are useful thanks to their bactericide and ozonizing capacity, so
they are used in the field of sterilization; another field of application that is
being developed is in the polymerization of adhesives or resins (photoresi-
st); as a drawback they cause more serious cases of erythema and
conjunctivitis than UVB rays.
Depending on the effects that they produce, ultraviolet rays may also be
classified as follows:
Producing ozone in the field
180÷220 nm
220÷300 nm
280÷320 nm
320÷400 nm
Producing bactericide (germicide) action in the field
Producing erythematous action in the field

- The CANDLE (cd) is the light intensity in a specific direction of a source
that emits monochrome radiation at a frequency of 540x1012 Hz and who-
se energetic intensity in that direction is 1/683 W/sr.
- The STERADIAN (sr) is the solid angle which, with its vertex in the cen-
tre of a sphere, subtends a spherical cap with an area equal to the squa-
re of the radius.
- LUMINANCE or EMITTANCE is the relationship between the light inten-
sity emitted in a certain direction and the surface that emits it projected
onto a plain perpendicular to the same direction; the measuring unit is the
cd/m2 (candle/square metre) or its submultiple cd/cm2 (1 cd/cm2
=
10,000 cd/m2).
