ORM400 PHOTOMETER/RADIOMETER 41812/1
VL-3701-1-V06 LUX SENSOR 67436
Date of Calibration: 21 February 2024
Calibrated By: J Grabowski
This instrument has been calibrated by direct intercomparison to traceable standards in accordance with approved procedure
RAD02 which follows the general principles of BS 667:2005.
The calibration was undertaken with the instrument being operated in accordance with the manufacturer's handbook
where appropriate.
The uncertainties shown are consistent with the requirements of M3003 and are inclusive of the uncertainty contribution of the
instrument under test. The results, statements and uncertainties relate only to the measured values as displayed by the instrument,
and do not carry any implication regarding the stability of the instrument or its performance outside the measured range.
Laboratory Conditions: Temperature 21 °C ± 2 °C
Relative Humidity 50 %rh ± 20 %rh
The reported expanded uncertainty is based on a standard uncertainty multiplied by a coverage factor of k = 2 unless
otherwise shown, providing a coverage probability of approximately 95 %. The uncertainty evaluation has been carried out
in accordance with UKAS requirements.
This certificate is issued in accordance with the laboratory accreditation requirements of the United Kingdom Accreditation Service. It provides
traceability of measurement to the SI system of units and/or to units of measurement realised at the National Physical Laboratory or other
recognised national metrology institutes. This certificate may not be reproduced other than in full, except with the prior written approval of
the issuing laboratory.

Calibration Undertaken
Illuminance in the range 1 lux to 20000 lux using a tungsten lamp at a colour temperature of 2856 K.
The reference plane of the sensor was taken to be the front face of the diffuser, with a diameter of 7 mm.
The zero-correction function was used prior to calibration. The zero offset has not been taken into account.
Results shown as despatched.
No specification available
This model requires zero correction prior to every use.
Results as despatched on channel 1 using calibration factor 1 set to 1.980Glx/A
The unit had no programed calibration factors as received.

UNCERTAINTY OF MEASUREMENT
The estimated uncertainty in the measured value of illuminance from 1 lux to 20000 lux when the instrument is used
under the same conditions as when calibrated is ± 1 incremental digit in the least significant figure of the displayed
value due to the resolution of the meter plus:
a) ± 3.1 % in the 1.0 lux to 10.0 lux range ( = 2.00) b) ± 3.0 % in the 10 lux to 20 lux range ( = 2.00)
c) ± 2.4 % in the 20 lux to 200 lux range ( = 1.99) d) ± 2.3 % in the 200 lux to 1000 lux range ( = 1.98)
e) ± 2.3 % in the 1000 lux to 2000 lux range ( = 1.98) f) ± 3.4 % in the 2000 lux to 10000 lux range ( = 1.89)
g) ± 5.9 % in the 10000 lux to 20000 lux range ( = 1.77) h) ± 0.8 % at a colour temperature of 2856 K ( = 2.00)
