2. PRESENTATION OF THE INSTRUMENT 2.1. C.A 1110 Spiral-wound cable used to remote the illumination sensor. Cover protecting the sensor (captive). Illumination sensor. Magnets used to secure the sensor to the measurement housing. C.A 1110 LUXMETER Backlit LCD display unit. Keypad with 5 keys. SRC MAP MEM REC HOLD On/Off key. UNIT MAX AVG MIN Type B micro-USB connector.
2.2. FUNCTIONS OF THE INSTRUMENT The C.A 1110 is a lux meter. It is used to make illumination measurements from 0.1 to 200,000 lux, in the visible part of the spectrum, to the exclusion of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible (X rays, ultraviolet, infrared, microwaves, RF, audio frequencies, etc.). It is used to check the illumination on work surfaces or traffic zones, in accordance with the recommendations of the AFE (Association Française de l’Éclairage - French Association of Illumination).
2.4. ON/OFF KEY A long press on the key switches the instrument on. A second long press on the key switches the instrument off when it is on. However, it is not possible to switch the instrument off when it is in record mode and is recording. REC If during start-up the instrument displays the screen shown opposite, it means that a recording session has been brutally interrupted by a power outage. During the display of this screen, the instrument recovers the recorded data.
3. USE IN STAND-ALONE MODE The instrument can operate in two modes: the stand-alone mode described in this section, the record mode, in which it is controlled by a PC. This mode is described in the next section. 3.1. MEASUREMENT OF ILLUMINATION Remove the cap protecting the sensor. Long-press the key to switch the instrument on. The instrument displays the time, then the measurement. The time is set using the Data Logger Transfer software (see §4).
P MIN/AVG/MAX TIME MIN/AVG/MAX TIME P MAX AVG MIN MAX MAX AVG MIN lx lx Fluo. AVG MAX AVG MIN lx Fluo. Fluo. MIN/AVG/MAX TIME P MIN/AVG/MAX TIME P MIN MAX AVG MIN lx MAX AVG MIN Fluo. To exit from the MAX AVG MIN mode, long-press the MAX AVG MIN key. 3.2.3. MAP FUNCTION The MAP function is used to map the illumination on a surface or in a room. A long press on the MAP key activates the function. The counter of the number of points recorded reads zero.
For each map measurement, a file is created with all of the measurement points. This file can then be recovered for analysis. 3.3. RECORDING THE MEASUREMENTS A short press on the MEM key records the measurement and the date. A long press on the REC key starts or stops a recording session. To see the records, you must use a PC and install the Data Logger Transfer software (see §4). 3.4. ERRORS The instrument detects errors and displays them in the form Er.XX. The main errors are the following: Er.
4. USE IN RECORDING MODE The instrument can operate in two modes: the stand-alone mode described in the previous section, the record mode, in which it is controlled by a PC. This mode is described below. 4.1. CONNECTION The device has 2 communication modes: A USB link via a USB-micro USB cord, A Bluetooth 4.0 BLE wireless link. 4.2. GET DATA LOGGER TRANSFER SOFTWARE Visit our web site to download the latest version of the application software: www.chauvin-arnoux.
4.4. BLUETOOTH LINK The instrument has a low-energy Bluetooth 4.0 link that requires no pairing. Activate Bluetooth on your PC. If your PC does not have a Bluetooth link, you can add a board or Bluetooth adapter connected to a USB port (see §1.2). Since Windows 7 does not manage low-energy Bluetooth, a specific USB/Bluetooth adapter must be used (see §1.2). Switch the instrument on by a long press on the symbol is displayed. key, then activate the Bluetooth link by a long press on the key.
4.5.2. DATE AND HOUR The Instrument menu lets you set the your instrument’s date and time. These cannot be changed while recording or when a recording session has been scheduled. By clicking , you can choose the date and time display formats. 4.5.3. AUTO OFF As default, the instrument switches itself off automatically after 3 minutes of operation without the user’s presence being confirmed by a key-press. By clicking , you can change this value to 3, 10, or 15 minutes.
4.5.5. DISPLAY By clicking , then opening to the Luxmeter tab, you can modify the display of the measurements on the instrument in the same way as by pressing the SRC key, or the UNIT key. 4.5.6. READING THE RECORDS The Data Logger Transfer software lets you read the records made. Click Recorded Sessions under the name of your instrument to obtain a list of the records. 4.5.7.
5. TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS 5.1. REFERENCE CONDITIONS Quantity of influence Reference values Temperature 23 ± 2°C Relative humidity 45% to 75% Supply voltage 3 to 4.5V Light source illuminant A Electric field < 1V/m Magnetic field < 40A/m The intrinsic uncertainty is the error specified for the reference conditions. 5.2. OPTICAL CHARACTERISTICS The illumination sensor is a silicon (Si) photodiode of which the spectral response is corrected by an optical filter.
5.2.3. SPECTRAL RESPONSE CURVE V(l), The light we see is electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength between 380nm and 780nm. The response curve of the eye as a function of wavelength has been determined by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission). This is the V(l) curve, or relative spectral luminous efficiency curve for photopic vision (daytime vision).
5.3. MEMORY The size of the flash memory containing the records is 4 MB. This capacity is sufficient to record a million measurements. At each measurement, the illumination is recorded with the date, the time and the unit. 5.4. USB Protocol: USB Mass Storage Maximum transmission speed: 12 Mbit/s Type B micro-USB connector 5.5. BLUETOOTH Bluetooth 4.0 BLE Range 10m typical and up to 30m in line of sight.

Inrush protection IP 50, with the USB connector closed and the protecting cap on the sensor, per IEC 60.529. Drop impact test 1 m per IEC 61010-1. 5.9. COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS The instrument is compliant with standard IEC 61010-1. 5.10.
6. MAINTENANCE Except for the batteries, the instrument contains no parts that can be replaced by personnel who have not been specially trained and accredited. Any unauthorized repair or replacement of a part by an “equivalent” may gravely impair safety. 6.1. CLEANING To preserve good measurement quality, the sensor must be kept perfectly clean. Switch the instrument off. Use a soft cloth, dampened with soapy water. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry rapidly with a dry cloth or forced air.
