Maladjusted

Readjust with adjusting screw

If adjustment not possible replace CdS cell

Malfunctioning of a photo-resistor exposure meter may be divided into three categories; mechanical, electrical, or fatigue of the CdS cell.

a. Mechanical malfunctions are generally obvious, and a careful examination of the meter will usually reveal the cause.

b. Electrical malfunctions require tracing the circuit with a multi-meter, checking resistors, and contacts.

c. The cadmium sulphide photo-resistor is adversely affected by prolonged exposure to an intense source of light. Its memory may result in incorrect or erratic meter readings. If the CdS cell is a suspected source of trouble, the meter should be protected from light for a period of 12-hours before checking the circuit electrically.
