How to Conduct Lighting Inspections: Cut Work-time in Half with Bluetooth Wireless Technology

The Hioki FT3425 Lux Meter is built in with Bluetooth wireless technology, letting you pair it with the free GENNECT Cross mobile app to inspect, record, and create reports of lux data easily and efficiently, dramatically reducing work time. Gone are the issues of not having enough time to test multiple locations or creating accurate reports with a large amount of data.

Dramatically reduce illuminance testing work times!

The FT3425 features Bluetooth® wireless technology that can be used with the GENNECT Cross smartphone app to provide robust support for every stage of the illuminance testing process, including taking measurements, recording results, and creating and submitting reports. By saving measured values on a completion drawing that’s been loaded onto your smartphone or a photograph taken with the smartphone’s camera, you can dramatically reduce the amount of time it takes to perform multipoint measurements, for example during completion testing following electrical and lighting work.

Instantly create reports by a free app (GENNECT Cross)

• GENNECT Cross, a free app designed specifically for use with Hioki measuring instruments, lets you check and manage measurement results and create reports.
• The software provides a range of functionality that helps manage data in the field, including photographing measurement sites, placing measurement results on photographs, and saving hand written memos.

Repeated measurements are a breeze since there’s no need to squat down!

The optional Extension Cart Z5023 is equipped with casters, making it easy to move between measurement locations. The ability to move the instrument without squatting down dramatically reduces the physical burden associated with making repeated multipoint measurements.

Measure illuminance free of the effects of shadows

• Timer hold function: Retain the measured value after a user-configured amount of time has elapsed from the time the TIMER key is pressed. In this way, you can time measurement to occur after you have moved away from the lux meter so that measurement is not affected by clothing, shadows, etc.
• Timer settings: Select from 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 30 / 45 / 60 sec. After the set time has elapsed, the measured value is retained. → The backlight turns on and the beep sounds for 3 sec.
• Measurement with sensor and display units undocked: You can undock the display and sensor units for more convenient use. Simply connect them with the Connection Cable L9820 (option).

Support for measurement of 1 lx makes the FT3424 ideal for low-illuminance measurement

20 lx range measurement resolution 0.01 lx

Memory function makes multipoint measurement a breeze

• Memory function (up to 99 values): Save measured values for multiple measurement locations in the instrument’s internal memory on the spot for later display at your convenience. There’s no need to take time to jot down a reading on paper for each measurement.
• Data communications functionality: Transfer data saved in the instrument’s internal memory to a computer via a USB connection. Data can be saved as a text file.
