Goniophotometer System Standard Operating Procedures

Goniophotometer is mainly used to measure the light performance of luminaries and light source,
it mainly could measure the light intensity distribution curve, light intensity data, beam angle,
total flux, luminaries efficiency, zonal luminaries flux, luminance distribution, coefficient of
utilization, luminance limitation curves, maximum efficiency ratio of distance to height, equal
illuminance diagram, effective average illuminance curve, spatial color distribution and average
color parameters and so on.
Lisun LSG-1800B is a high performance Goniophotometer. How to do standard operation for
Goniophotometer?
1. Firstly, it is preparation.
A. Before operation, testers should detect whether the connection between signals lines, control
lines and power lines of Goniophotometer different parts are normal.

B. System rotation cabinet panel key switch, open the total power, and then press Motor button to
open the power of mechanical part, press Meter button to open the power of photo tester and angle
monitor, and then press LS2010 Digital Power Meter switch to open the power of Digital Power
Meter.
C. Observe whether the testers in the cabinet are normal connected with mechanical parts. Under
normal circumstances, except reference signals all display 0 in the testers, the rest can have data
immediately; If all show 0, it indicates that the test equipment and mechanical parts failed to
connect, shut down the power of each equipment in the cabinet and open again.
D. Switch the rocker switch to CF on the cabinet panel.
E. Open the system power of computer, when the computer enters Windows interface, double-click
LSG-1800B System software.
2. Install and lit luminaries
A. Choose the luminaries (or light source) under test. The chosen test luminaries (or light source)
should meet the national standards which should be representative and can reflect the type
performance of the luminaries (or light source) under test. For new light, it should meet the product
requirement of enterprise standard; it requires aging treatment before test.
B. Install the luminaries (or light source) under test, please wear clean gloves, please wipe the
luminaries (or light source) surface stains before test. When check luminaries (or light source) to test
system, please note that aim the light emitting surface center (or light source center) at + center,
and record the value of the dial angle scales in this case.
C. Clamp the clip to the two ports of the test luminaries (or light source) power supply. Please note that
the two pins of the clip should plug in red and blue sockets, the two pins of another clip should plug in
yellow and grebe sockets, start zero measurement. After zero measurement, the result will be saved
automatically in the system files.
D. If the power of test luminaries (or light source) is not exceed 1KW, switch the rocker switch on the

cabinet panel to CF position. Adjust the frequency conversion output power switch, until the voltage
data on the digital power meter reaches the rated voltage value of luminaries(or light source), lit the
test luminaries (or light source) and wait until the luminaries (or light source) light stably. General
thermal radiation source needs 15 minutes, gas discharge light source needs 30 minutes.
E. If the power of test luminaries (or light source) is exceed 1KW, switch the rocker switch on the
cabinet panel to OUTER position, power the luminaries (or light source) under test by AC Power
Source or DC Power Source directly, lit the test luminaries (or light source) and wait until the
luminaries (or light source) light stably. General thermal radiation source needs 15 minutes, gas
discharge light source needs 30 minutes.
3. Measurement
A. Set the angle value of the test system at present(Horizontal angle is the value that the dial scale
value of before record minus 180 degree, because this system angular coordinates is -180 degree to
+180 degree, vertical angle is 0 degree).
B. Run LSG-1800B Goniophotometer test software to set a series of parameters of the luminaries
under test, measure and process data.
C. If you want to save, click Save button, select the file format.
D. If you want to read the saved date, click Read button, choose the appropriate data file format and
click.
E. If print, click Print Report button, choose appropriate print option and print automatically, make sure
that the power supply of printer is open.
F. If you exit the system, click Exit button to exit.
G. Shut down the power supply of luminaries (or light source) under test; remove the luminaries (or light
source) under test.
H. Shut down all power supplies of the equipment in the cabinet, shut down the power supply of
mechanical part and shut down the total power supply at last.
