Detailed information about goniophotometer console

This component contains all of the system’s electrical and electronic controls. Main power switches and a test lamp voltage adjustment are included in the goniophotometer console. A hand-held control box is also attached to the unit on a long cable so the test operator can walk around the lab and manually position the luminaire during test set-up. A remote Yokogawa power analyzer meter is installed which incorporates a large digital display of volts, amps and watts.

The goniophotometer measures the exact lamp characteristics by use of remote sensing leads to the test luminaire. An option for measurement of Power Factor and Total Harmonic Distortion is available. An additional benefit of this system is that the power measurements on the ballast secondary of a high intensity discharge lamp are also facilitated.Readingsare transmitted to the computer and displayed so that all electrical monitoring can be done from the computer station. Automated voltage or power adjustment controlled throughout the test by the computer is also available as an option.
