LI-250A
Light Meter

The LI-250A is a portable meter that displays the output from any LI-COR light sensor that has a cable terminated with a BNC connector. It shows instantaneous values or 15-second averages of values from a sensor.

The LI-250A automatically selects a sensitivity range to optimize accuracy and resolution for a given sensor. It provides a wide dynamic range for high-resolution measurements, even in low-light conditions.

Specifications

  • Accuracy:
    • 25 °C: Typically ± 0.4% of reading ± 3 counts on the least significant digit displayed (all ranges).
    • 0 - 55 °C: Typically ± 0.6% of reading ± 3 counts on the least significant digit displayed (all ranges).
  • Range Selection: Autoranging (3 ranges).
  • Linearity: ± 0.05%.
  • Sensors: Designed for type "SA" sensors; type "SB" and "SL" sensors with BNC connectors are also compatible when calconnector or millivolt adapter are removed.
  • Sensor Calibration: Each sensor is supplied with a calibration multiplier. Calibration multipliers for two sensors can be stored in memory. Calibration multipliers are entered from the keypad.
  • Signal Averaging: Sensor output can be collected and displayed as a 15-second average (approximately 60 readings). Averages are retained on the display in HOLD mode.
  • Display: LCD display. Updated every 0.5 seconds in Instantaneous mode.
  • Battery Life: 150 hours typical with continuous operation.
  • Power Requirement: One 9V Alkaline battery.
  • Operating Conditions: 0 to 55 °C, 0 to 95% RH (non-condensing).
  • Storage Conditions: -55 to 60 °C, 0 to 95% RH (non-condensing).
  • Size: 14 cm × 7.7 cm × 3.8 cm (5.5" × 3" x1.5").
  • Weight: 0.26 kg (0.57 lbs).
  • Warranty: 1 year parts and labor.
