Thanks to everyone for their kind replies :-). I think I have my answer now. Does this instrument measure actual number of hours an area receives? I can't tell from the picture, what unit of measurement is being displayed.

No, the meter only reads the real time light intensity in foot candles. You would need multiple readings throughout the day and then estimate an average.

Hello Nick, what are you using it for? I am using it for the pool and it is very accurate, but you do have to convert it from Parts Per Thousands to Parts Per million, so it will appear very low on the meter. Bob

Thanks, A. Gray.I decided to contact customer service, too. I really wanted a printable reference for the times. Much to my surprise, they sent me an email with a spreadsheet table, listing all the times. And they responded in less than four hours. Incredible.I have to wonder, as do you, why the times aren't included in this manual. In looking back through their previous models' manuals (available online) I see the times listed in most all the ones I looked through. This seems like an oversight on their part. Perhaps it will be corrected with the next printing.

I'm wondering the same thing. Wish someone could answer this, I'm really considering purchasing this unit.

There is no clock. I'm not sure what the read-out is for. I stand corrected. The information from Edward Brandt works.

Yes - As you repeatedly press the Meter button, the display cycles between (first for the connected device) Watts, Volts, Amps, Kwh, Elapsed Time, (then "Saved" quantities) Watts, Amps, Kwh, Elapsed Time. I'm not sure how the "Saved" quantities are calculated, so I ignore them.

question a bit perplexing while in use? volume of paper? or when not in use? have not timed my unit after using it can you be more specific I have not had any problems with this unit so far dcp is there a specific problem?

The unit is ml/sec . The total quantity is a function of number of outlets and height of the tube openings. See my other posts regarding regarding how to determine how long to run and frequency. Hope this helps. Get the brochure if you do not have it at the address on the box.

It displays both. The radio station and frequency are displayed on top of the time. I just double checked.

Sorry I cannot help you. I am handicapped, and cannot physically make the measurement you request. Sometimes there is someone visiting that could do this IF they had a yardstick. At present I am alone, and never know for sure when I might have company. Sorry------------

As best I understand the question, this sort of comparison is just what the meter is meant to do: measure light intensity. What you read is what you got. Regards,AC

Yes, the device only measures 'hours' of run time. As an example, it could be used on an electric clock on the wall, a light bulb, gas, electric or diesel engine. It only works when 'movement' is detected thru the electron movement in an attached wire. You are good to go!

I use it every Friday night to measure the sound levels of our bands. I use it maybe 6 or 7 times a night just once a week. It works fine for what I need it for...Have had it about 5 months, so have maybe turned it off an on 100 times total, but I don't leave it on. I just take a reading and then turn it off...Hope this helps...

I don't see that it shows the time. However, the display times out and the display size is tiny, so it would be difficult to use even it does display time.

After ordering this meter I was concerned about the revues of this item, so I pulled up the user's manual on line and found that YES this has a frequency counter up to 200KHz, and also shows the duty cycle in % up to 200 KHz as well. This is useful when measuring a PWM output duty cycle (on time vs. off time). You can also set the trigger sensitivity, as outline in the manual. You set it to DCV and set it to manual and set the voltage to the lowest voltage you want it to trigger at, then push Hz button. Also, you can set it to ACV and set the trigger that way, too.

I figured - not an easy time clock to find. Thank you so much for the information! I really appreciate your help.

i use this instrument in my auto repair shop. i find the volt/ohm/ampere function very useful. i don't know what you mean by time frame but you can measure AC voltage and it shows freq and duty cycle. I can also look at the Oxygen sensor output signal thru the OBD connection. i hope this answers your question.
