(Konica Minolta Sensing: Ramsey, NJ) -- Konica Minolta Sensing Americas Inc. (KMSA), a global leader in the industrial measurement of color, light, and 3-D shape, announces the launch of its newest light measurement product, the T-10A Series illuminance meter, designed to measure the brightness and quality of a light source striking a specific location.

Now available, the T-10A Series joins Konica Minolta’s legendary line of illuminance meters and inherits the same superior optical technology used by its predecessor the T-10. Among some of its newest improvements are the upgrade to USB communication and the ability to measure pulse-width modulation controlled light sources.
The new instrument series comes in two models. First is the T-10A, which features a detachable receptor head allowing for multiple point measurements. The second model, the T-10MA, features a mini receptor with a one-meter cable that can be used for illuminance measurements in narrow spaces where a standard receptor head would not fit. It can also be installed on various types of equipment or jigs for light level measurements.
The T-10A Series provides high accuracy measurements for multiple types of applications including research and development at lighting-product manufacturers, inspections of light sources, illuminance measurements for security lighting or street lights, and for any application requiring total flux or light distribution characteristics.
T-10A main features
Conformance. The T-10A Series conforms to the standard from the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN)—which is the German Institute for Standardization—DIN 5032 Part 7 1985 Class-B and Class AA of JIS 1609-1:2006—“Illuminance meters part 1—General measuring instruments” requirements. It also conforms to the Restrictions on Hazardous Substances (ROHS) Directive of the European Union. Conformance to these requirements ensures the T-10A Series provides high-accuracy illuminance measurements.
Measurement of pulse-width modulation controlled light sources. Pulse-width modulation controlled light sources present a problem for most illuminance meters because only peak measurements can be taken. The T-10A can take an average measurement of pulse-width modulation light sources and provide a more accurate reading.
Detachable receptor head. The receptor head can be detached and connected via LAN cable to the unit’s main body for remote measurements. Multiple detachable receptor heads can also be daisy chained via LAN cables to a single main body for multipoint measurements of up to 30 points.
USB connection interface. Upgraded from a RS-232C connection, the new USB interface provides an easier connection to a PC.
