PCE-174 luxmeter with data logger
for measuring light with memory and interface

The PCE-174 luxmeter with memory for up to 16,000 readings is used for measuring light in industry, agriculture and research. The luxmeter is alos used for determining illumination in the workplace, shop window displays and by designers. It meets with all international standards within the category for luxmeters.
The luxmeter displays measurement results in lux and FootCandle. Please consider that 1 FC is equal to 10.70 lux. The device automaticaly 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 luxmeter converts into a high precision instrument. It is easy to use. This luxmeter 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 angel between the luxmeter and the object being measured to obtain result of the highest repeatability.
Here is a table of minimum values that should be regularly maintained inside, although outside values are substancially higher. The following links show a conversion table for the measurement of lux and a lux meter with similar technical specfications but without memory nor an interface (Lux conversion / PCE-172 lux meter). Here is an overview of lux meters we have available.

• Battery level indicator

• Auto shut-off

• The Overload indicator shows when the measurement range has been exceeded
