5. Calibration of darkroom equipment (Each step must be performed carefully and thoroughly; otherwise, it may result in incorrect calibration data and abnormal test results.)

5.1 Horizontal Commissioning of the Host Machine

5.1.1 Laser Ready

There is a laser switch on the back of the goniophotomoeter’s main arm. When you turn on the line laser switch, you will see a red line laser beam emitted directly in front of the main arm.

그림 31

Find the crosshair laser device and tripod.

그림 32

Remove the cross-line laser and the batteries. Insert the batteries into the cross-line laser. The power switch is located on the side of the device. Turn the switch to the “unlock” position to turn on the device.

번호	주의 사항
①	Power switch: Move it to the “Unlock” position to turn on the power.
②	VH refers to vertical and horizontal laser switches, respectively.

그림 33

Mount the crosshair laser onto the tripod.

Note: The cross-line laser is self-leveling. If it is not self-leveled, an audible alarm will sound. This may be due to an uneven surface or an improperly set up tripod. Please ensure that the cross-line laser remains self-leveled at all times during use.

5.1.2 Steps for Horizontal Commissioning of the Host Machine

According to the darkroom drawings, the center height of the LSG-1890B goniophotomoeter is 1510 mm. Using a tripod, adjust the height of the horizontal laser beam to 1510 mm. At this height, the horizontal laser beam should pass through the center of all light-transmitting holes in the darkroom partition.

그림 34

Please note: Do not place any objects on the Goniophotomoeter or within its rotation range to prevent damage to the equipment during rotation.

그림 35

번호	주의 사항
①	Gamma angle: Please select a near-field photometric probe
②	Click the continuous rotation button in any direction. The gamma axis of the Goniophotomoeter will then begin to rotate continuously.

그림 36

At this point, observe the straight laser beam emerging from the main axis of the Goniophotomoeter and the horizontal laser beam from the crosshair laser.

그림 37

Then, using an appropriate wrench, raise the goniophotomoeter and adjust it to a level position by adjusting the height of its four legs. The final result of the calibration: Regardless of the Gamma angle of the goniophotomoeter, its straight laser beam is perfectly aligned with the horizontal laser beam, as shown in the figure below.

그림 38

You’ll need plenty of patience to complete this step. Once adjusted, make sure all four legs of the main unit are firmly on the ground. You can then click the “Stop” button on the software’s angle control interface to stop the Goniophotomoeter from rotating. Next, secure the four legs of the Goniophotomoeter by tightening the screws at their tops. Once the position and level of the Goniophotomoeter unit have been properly adjusted, do not move it again, as this will cause deviations in the test results.

5.2 Calibration of the Photometric Probe

If not, follow the steps below.

번호	주의 사항
①	Please enter a small angle value here based on the actual situation, such as 1, 0.1, 0.05, etc.
②	Select a rotation direction and rotate the Gamma axis until the laser beam passes through the exact center of the horizontal plane of the last partition.
③	Click “Set to 0 Degrees” to set the current position of the Gamma axis on the near-field photometric probe to 0 degrees. The password is LISUN그룹.

그림 40.1

Note 1: After setting the Gamma axis of the near-field photometer to 0 degrees, do not arbitrarily set it to 0 degrees again, as this will cause deviations in the test results.

Note 2: Definition of the Gamma angle for a goniophotomoeter. The direction directly facing the photometer probe is defined as 0 degrees/360 degrees. When rotating clockwise, the angle value increases from 0 degrees to 360 degrees; when rotating counterclockwise, the angle value decreases from 360 degrees to 0 degrees. Since angle notation may vary, -90 degrees and 270 degrees refer to the same position.

5.2.2 Mounting the Photometric Probe

Rotate the light probe’s light shield counterclockwise and remove it.

그림 41

The standard lamp packaging box contains a small mirror.

그림 42

그림 43

Remove the small reflector and attach it to the probe.

그림 44

At this point, the Gamma axis of the near-field photometer is still at the 0-degree position. Slightly move the probe base and adjust the screws at points ① and ② to adjust the probe’s height and orientation. Position the probe so that the straight-line laser beam coming from the main axis hits the exact center of the mirror, and ensure that the reflected beam travels back along the same path.

그림 45

Then secure the probe bracket base to the floor with screws.

그림 46

Once secured, you may need to make slight adjustments to the probe’s height and orientation so that the straight laser beam continues to hit the exact center of the reflector and the reflected light returns along the same path. After calibration is complete, ensure that all screws are tightened. Then remove the reflector and reinstall the light probe’s light shield.

Note: Once the probe’s position and orientation have been set, do not change them, as doing so may cause the test data to be inaccurate.

You can secure the photometer probe’s power adapter to the probe bracket as shown in the figure below to protect the probe’s power jack.

그림 51

Once the adjustment is complete, all screws should be fully tightened. Then, click “Set 0 Degrees” on the software’s angle control interface to set the current position of the near-field Spectroradiometer’s Gamma axis to 0 degrees. The password is LISUN그룹.

Remove the small reflector and store it safely. Reinstall the Optical Fiber bracket sleeve.

Note: After setting the Gamma axis of the near-field Spectroradiometer to 0 degrees, do not arbitrarily set it to 0 degrees again, as this will cause deviations in the test results.

5.4 Cross-Line Laser Installation

Finally, the crosshair laser must be mounted on the side wall of the darkroom. Depending on the specific layout of each darkroom, the crosshair laser can be mounted on either the left or right wall. Take the darkroom layout shown in the figure below as an example.

그림 52

Go to the angle control screen.

번호	주의 사항
①	Selecting a Near-Field Photometric Probe
②	Enter 90 (if the installation position of the crosshair laser in your darkroom blueprint is different, enter -90)
③	Click to rotate the gamma axis to a 90-degree position, so that the main-axis laser beam is directly aligned with the position where the crosshair laser is installed.

그림 53

Secure the crosshair laser to the triangular mount we provide.

그림 54

Turn on the crosshair laser and use the direction of the single-line laser to roughly determine the position of the crosshair laser.

그림 55

Fine-Tune the Position of the Crosshair Laser: Ensure that the horizontal laser beam is perfectly aligned with the centerline of the crosshair laser. You can verify and adjust the position using the following method. Place a sheet of white paper at the exit of the crosshair laser and at the exit of the single-line laser. If the centerline of the single-line laser aligns with the centerline of the crosshair laser at both locations, you can confirm that the position and orientation of the crosshair laser are correct.

그림 56

그림 57

Next, secure the cross-laser tripod to the wall using screws. Once secured, you can still loosen the screws if necessary to make slight adjustments to the cross-laser’s position horizontally and vertically, ensuring it remains properly aligned. After calibration is complete, all screws should be tightened securely.

그림 58

Then rotate the gamma axis back to the 0-degree position. The cross-shaped laser beam is projected onto the opposite wall. This creates a permanent mark. In other words, when the cross-shaped laser beam is projected in this direction, it indicates the horizontal and vertical center positions of the Goniophotomoeter. This mark is needed for both calibration and testing.

그림 59

Installation and commissioning are complete. Turn off the line-shaped laser on the main shaft of the Goniophotomoeter.

5.5 청소

You may shut down all equipment. When doing so, first turn off the power switch on each device, then turn off the main power switch for the cabinet. Next, thoroughly clean the darkroom and control room. To prevent dust from entering the equipment, cover the devices with dust-proof cloths before cleaning. After cleaning, turn all equipment back on and resume the calibration and testing procedures.

Note: Keep the darkroom as dust-free as possible while in use.

6.1.2 Calibration of the Standard Light Direction

번호	주의 사항
①	Loosen the screw here to adjust the height of the standard lamp.
②	There are three screws here that allow you to adjust the pitch of the standard light.

그림 64

The standard lamp should be adjusted so that the cross-shaped laser beam is directed at the center of the small mirror, and the horizontal and vertical laser beams reflected by the mirror coincide exactly with the original cross-shaped laser beam.

그림 65

Based on our experience, follow these steps for calibration: First, adjust the height of the reference lamp to the appropriate position. The vertical reflected laser can be calibrated by rotating the calibration target, while the horizontal reflected laser can be calibrated by adjusting the pitch of the reference lamp. After calibration, the center height of the reference lamp may change, requiring you to readjust its height. Continue the reflection adjustment until the cross-shaped laser beam is projected onto the center of the small mirror, and the reflected horizontal and vertical laser beams are perfectly aligned with the original cross-shaped laser beam.

Once the standard lamp is properly aligned, carefully remove the small reflector, taking care not to alter the standard lamp’s alignment during removal. Then turn off the crosshair laser.

6.4 교정 및 유지 관리

No changes in the darkroom	If there have been no changes to the computer, recalibration is not necessary.
	No changes have been made to the computer; simply unplug and replug the communication cable or reinstall the Goniophotomoeter software. No recalibration is necessary.
	If you replace your computer or reinstall the operating system, the photometric probe does not need to be recalibrated; simply enter the previous test distance and save it. However, the Spectroradiometer does need to be recalibrated (if you do not have the means to recalibrate it, please contact us to restore the calibration data).
Changes in the Darkroom	The structure of the darkroom remains unchanged; however, after prolonged use, the interior paint may fade or peel. Depending on how well you maintain the darkroom and the level of accuracy you require for your test results, you may repaint the darkroom periodically. After repainting, the darkroom must be recalibrated.
	There has been a change in the darkroom configuration, so recalibration is required.

7. Preparations Before Testing

7.1 Lamp Selection and Aging

Select representative luminaires for testing that comply with national or corporate standards; new luminaires must undergo aging treatment (for LED luminaires, a 24-hour aging period is recommended);

Check that the light fixture has no visible damage, that the internal wiring is properly connected, and clean any stains from the surface of the fixture.

7.2 Introduction to Test Mode

C-Gamma Mode: Suitable for most lighting fixtures, including streetlights, downlights, panel lights, and plant grow lights.

그림 74

Beta Mode: Suitable for spotlights, floodlights, and similar fixtures; requires installation of an auxiliary arm.

그림 75

Alpha Mode: Suitable for automotive lights and signal lights.

그림 76

참고 : LSG-1890BCCD can be used for C-Gamma and B-Beta testing. For A-Alpha testing, a Type A goniophotomoeter is required; please contact us if needed.

8. C-Gamma Test

8.1 Luminous Intensity Distribution Test

8.1.1 Installing and Turning On the Light Fixture

8.1.1.1 Light Fixture Installation

We have two C-Gamma test fixtures; these operating instructions use the cross-shaped fixture as an example.

번호	주의 사항
①	Large cross-shaped clamps are used for various types of lighting fixtures
②	E27 Fixture for Testing Globe Bulbs

그림 77

Attach the fixture to the Goniophotomoeter. Turn on the wall-mounted cross-line laser and verify that the crosshairs are projected accurately onto the markings on the opposite wall.

그림 78

On the angle control interface, select the near-field photometric probe. Rotate the Gamma axis 90 degrees so that the crosshair laser points directly at the center of the crosshair fixture. Mount the luminaire under test onto the crosshair fixture. Adjust the position of the luminaire so that the crosshair laser is centered on the light-emitting surface of the luminaire under test, and the light-emitting surface is parallel to the crosshair fixture.

그림 79

Then rotate the Gamma axis back to 0 degrees. Turn the dial here.

그림 80

Align the light-emitting surface of the fixture with the vertical laser beam of the cross-hair laser.

그림 81

Caution is required when installing directional luminaires. When the angle of the C-plane on the Goniophotomoeter is 0 degrees, according to streetlight installation standards, the light pole should point straight upward, as shown in the figure below.

그림 81.1

When the angle of the C-plane on the goniophotomoeter is 0 degrees, the bar light should be installed vertically in accordance with industry standards, as shown in the figure below.

그림 81.2

8.1.1.2 Lighting the Lamps

Connect the power cord to the luminaire under test. The connection method for the luminaire under test is the same as that for the standard luminaire; refer to Section 6.1.1.

Adjust the cabinet switch according to the parameters of the luminaire being tested.

번호	주의 사항
①	If the sample luminaire is powered by AC, switch to the AC direction; if it is powered by DC, switch to the DC direction.
②	Internal/External Sampling Switch for Electrical Parameters. External sampling uses a four-wire configuration and provides more accurate voltage readings. Unless otherwise specified, please set this switch to “External Sampling”; no further adjustments are necessary.

그림 82

If the sample luminaire is AC-powered.

번호	주의 사항
①	Select AC Power
②	Based on the sample parameters, enter the correct voltage and frequency.

그림 83

If the sample luminaire is DC-powered.

번호	주의 사항
①	Select a DC Power Supply
②	Based on the sample parameters, enter the correct voltage and current.
③	Select the output mode: CC stands for constant current, and CV stands for constant voltage. If you select constant current, you’ll need to enter the sample’s rated current value; for the voltage, simply enter the DC power supply’s maximum output voltage. If you select constant voltage, enter the sample’s rated voltage and the DC power supply’s maximum output current. Note: If your DC power supply model is DC3010, its maximum output voltage is 30 V and its maximum output current is 10 A.

그림 84

The software offers two methods for turning the sample lamp on and off, and users can choose freely between them.

번호	주의 사항
①	If you check the “Auto Turn On” and “Auto Turn Off” options, the software will automatically turn on the sample at the start of the test using the selected power source and the entered electrical parameters, and will automatically cut off the sample’s power at the end of the test.
②	If the “Auto On” and “Auto Off” options are not checked, you can still click this button. The software will turn on the sample based on the selected power source and the entered electrical parameters. Clicking this button again will turn off the sample’s power.

그림 85

8.1.2 Preheating Parameter Settings

번호	주의 사항
①	If you check the “Preheat” box, the software will preheat the luminaires according to the specified preheat parameters when the test begins, and the test will start automatically once preheating is complete. If you do not check the “Preheat” box, the software will begin the test immediately.
②	Preheating Parameter Settings

그림 86

Click “Preheat Parameter Settings.”

번호	주의 사항
①	Warm-up Duration Setting: The purpose of the warm-up is to allow the light fixture to remain on for a period of time until its luminous and color parameters stabilize, after which the test proceeds automatically.
②	Sampling interval: The software will automatically take samples at the set interval throughout the entire warm-up period to obtain real-time data. We recommend setting this to 5 seconds or longer.
③	If checked, the test will automatically skip the remaining warm-up time and begin once the light fixture has reached a stable state; if unchecked, the test will begin only after the warm-up period has elapsed as set.
④	Definition of a luminaire’s steady state. If the values are set to 20 and 0.5%, the luminaire is considered to be in a steady state if the parameter has not varied by more than 0.5% over the past 20 minutes.
⑤	You can select which parameters the software should use to determine whether a light fixture is stable: optical parameters, electrical parameters
⑥	The software will save the change curves for the selected parameters during the warm-up period in the test report.
⑦	Once you’ve finished configuring the settings, click OK to save and exit.

그림 87

8.1.3 Configure Test Parameters and Start the Test

Click “Start Test.”

그림 88

Go to the test parameter settings screen.

번호	주의 사항
①	Lighting fixture types—indoor lights, outdoor lights, or plant grow lights—these three types of lighting fixtures are subject to C-Gamma testing.
②	Select whether the luminaire is symmetrical. Unless there are specific requirements, select the first option, “Asymmetrical,” regardless of whether the luminaire being tested is symmetrical or not (to obtain the luminaire’s actual data).
③	C-plane angle range: Select 0 to 180 degrees; no modification is necessary. For data ranging from 180 to 360 degrees, the software will automatically convert the C-plane angle intervals. For symmetrical fixtures, such as indoor lights, you can select a larger interval, such as 30 degrees; for asymmetrical fixtures, such as streetlights, you can select a smaller interval, such as 10 degrees. The smaller the angle interval, the higher the test accuracy, but the longer the testing time. If time permits, it is recommended to select a smaller angle interval.
④	Gamma plane angle range: If the sample’s light irradiation angle exceeds 180 degrees (e.g., a globe lamp), select a range of -180 degrees to 180 degrees; if the sample’s light irradiation angle is less than 180 degrees (e.g., a panel light), you can select an angle interval for the Gamma plane ranging from -90 degrees to 90 degrees. Unless there are special requirements, selecting 1 degree is sufficient. The specific interval selected here has no effect on test speed.
⑤	If the system has multiple photometric probes, please select the one you want to use.
⑥	For standard luminaires undergoing routine testing, select “Normal Speed”; if the luminaire being tested has an extremely narrow beam angle, select “Slow Speed” to obtain more accurate test results; for expedited testing, select “Fast Speed.”
⑦	Fixed Range: If you are consistently measuring the same type of light fixture and the luminous intensity data does not vary significantly, you can check this box to save time. If you have ample time or frequently test lamps with different luminous intensities, it is recommended that you leave this box unchecked. In this case, the photometric probe will automatically select the appropriate range for each lamp. Continuous Scan Mode is suitable when the angle interval on the Gamma plane ranges from -180 degrees to 180 degrees. During the test, when the Gamma angle approaches ±180 degrees, while simultaneously rotating the C-axis to the next scan position—that is, the Gamma axis rotates continuously throughout the entire process to save time. If you have ample time, we recommend leaving this option unchecked.
⑧	To set the monitoring angle during the lamp warm-up phase, simply set it to (0, 0).
⑨	Normalization refers to the decision of whether to apply a uniform value to the first row of data in the light intensity table of a test report; certain standards, such as the U. S. streetlight standard, may require you to perform a similar adjustment. There are three options: no normalization, normalization to the maximum value (which will slightly increase the luminaire’s total luminous flux), and normalization to the average value (which leaves the luminous flux essentially unchanged).
⑩	If you need to remove all stray light outside a specific angle, check this option and enter the desired angle . For example, if you check this option and enter 60, data outside ±60 degrees of the luminaire’s gamma plane will automatically be set to 0.
⑪	Enter the number of light sources in the luminaire and the rated luminous flux of each light source. If you do not know this information, you may leave it blank; it will not affect the test results.
⑫	Enter the dimensions of the sample’s light-emitting surface. For indoor lighting fixtures, the software requires this data to calculate the luminance limit curve, UGR, and other parameters.
⑬	Enter information about the sample light fixture
⑭	Enter the temperature and humidity of the test environment (i.e., the darkroom)
⑮	Click OK to proceed to the warm-up screen, or to the test screen.

그림 89

Then wait for the software testing to complete. Once testing is complete, refer to Section 8.2 to perform the chromaticity distribution test.

8.2 Chromaticity Distribution Test

After completing the C-Gamma luminous intensity distribution test, a chromaticity distribution test can be conducted based on the test report.

Note: The software automatically calculates the spatial angle range required for the chromaticity distribution test based on the photometric distribution test report. Therefore, if a photometric distribution test is not performed, a chromaticity distribution test cannot be conducted directly.

Select the photometric distribution test report for this luminaire, then click to open the chromaticity distribution test parameter settings interface.

그림 90

번호	주의 사항
①	If checked, only the chromaticity characteristics test will be performed; the chromaticity distribution test will not be performed. If unchecked, both the chromaticity characteristics test and the chromaticity distribution test will be performed.
②	Selection of test positions for colorimetric characteristics. The “optical axis” refers to the position directly in front of the light-emitting surface of the sample luminaire; the “point of maximum luminous intensity” refers to the position where the luminous intensity of the sample luminaire is greatest.
③	The angle range for the C-plane is 0 to 360 degrees. There is no need to adjust the angle increment for the C-plane. For symmetrical fixtures, such as indoor lights, a larger increment—for example, 30 degrees—can be selected, while for asymmetrical fixtures, such as streetlights, a smaller increment—for example, 10 degrees—can be selected. The smaller the increment, the higher the testing accuracy, but the longer the testing time.
④	The gamma plane angle range is automatically calculated by the software based on the results of the photometric distribution test. There is no need to adjust the angle intervals of the gamma plane. You may also select a larger angle interval; symmetrical luminaires, such as indoor lights, can use a larger interval—for example, 10 degrees—while asymmetrical luminaires, such as streetlights, can use a smaller interval—for example, 5 degrees. The smaller the interval, the higher the test accuracy; however, the test will take longer.
⑤	Once you’ve finished configuring the settings, click “Start” to begin the test, and wait for the software to automatically complete the self-test.

12.5 정전

12.5.1 DC Power Output Abnormalities

Causes of the malfunction: The AC/DC switch on the cabinet was not set to DC; the sample voltage or current exceeded the DC power supply limits; a short circuit in the sample;

Troubleshooting: Please verify that the sample’s voltage and current are within the DC power supply’s output range. For example, the DC3005 model has a maximum output voltage of 30 V and a maximum output current of 5 A. Check whether the sample is short-circuited; if so, repair the sample before retesting.

12.5.2 No AC Output

Cause of the fault: The AC/DC switch in the cabinet was not set to the AC side; the overload protection was triggered;

Troubleshooting Steps: Check the AC power output wiring and sample connections to ensure there are no loose connections or short circuits; if the overload protection is triggered, turn off the power, allow the unit to cool for 5 minutes, and then restart it. Ensure that the sample power remains within the AC power output range—for example, the LSP-500VARC has a maximum output power of 500 W.
