In the event of malfunction, disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. Never touch
the inside of the device and contact your authorized distributor.
• There may be a few constantly-lit, missing, or dead pixels in your LCD which are a
characteristic of the LCD. This does not represent failure of the LCD; continuously
use the display.
• This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for medical devices
to the IEC 60601-1-2: 2001, EN55011: 2002, Class B, Group 1.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a standard medical installation.
This device generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to other devices in the vicinity.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this device does cause harmful interference to other devices, which can
be determined by turning the device off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving device.
Increase the separation between the devices.
Connect the device to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the other

1. BEFORE USE
1.1 Outline of the Device

1
The NIDEK AUTO LENSMETER LM-1000P measures the optical performance of spectacle lenses
such as single vision, bifocal (trifocal), and progressive power lenses or contact lenses. This device
has a measuring unit and a display unit in front, and a printer unit on the right side. The measuring unit
is comprised of a nosepiece, a lens table, a lens holder, and a lens marker. Below the nosepiece,
there is a read button for reading measured data.
The display unit employs a full-graphic LCD, displaying measured data, alignment condition of a lens,
and settings of the device.
Changing the device level 30° along with the function buttons around the display allows for easier
measurement in a sitting or standing position.
Since there is no difference in the operating procedure of the lens marker between the ink pad type
and ink cartridge type, this manual concentrates on the ink cartridge type.
The device also offers the following features as well as the above features:
• Performs area measurement, which measures the refractive power at multiple positions of
a lens simultaneously.
Makes measurement easier and more correct by detecting changes in the refractive power of a
progressive power lens.
Changes measurement mode automatically after detecting a progressive power lens.

• Measures ultraviolet rays (UV-A, center wavelength 365 nm) transmittance.
• Performs easier and quicker measurement with automatic functions such as auto read,
auto R/L selection, and auto ADD measurement.
• Connected to a personal computer with the USB interface in addition to the RS-232C
interface of the standard communiation protocol among NIDEK optometry devices.
• Adopts the marker for repellent or super repellent lenses.
• Contains a speedy, advanced, and quiet line printer.
1.2 Indication for Use

“2.3.2 Setting mounted lenses” (page 26).
The following is a measurement procedure for the right-eye lens.
4 Measure the distance power.

1) Bring the intermediate portion (progressive
zone) onto the nosepiece.
Place a portion that is slightly lower than the center
of the lens on the nosepiece.
The target indicating the distance portion is dis-

played.
The arrow shows the direction in which the lens

should be moved.
35
• Tips in moving the lens:

To measure the progressive power lenses accurately, pay attention to the following:
• Move the lens while the frames are constantly in contact with the lens table.
• Move the lens vertically after horizontal alignment of the lens.
• Ensure that the lens is constantly in contact with the nosepiece.
2) Move the lens in the horizontal direction to

align the target with the vertical line of the
crossline.
3) Slowly move the lens inward (upward on the

screen) referring to the target to align it with
the crossline.
When the target is off the vertical line of the
crossline in the horizontal direction while the
lens is moved, move the lens in the horizontal
direction. When the vertical position is
roughly aligned, the arrow disappears.
4) Make fine vertical and horizontal adjustments

of the lens to align the target with the
crossline until the target changes from to
(cross).
5) When the target changes to (cross) and
measured data stabilizes, the measured data
is automatically fixed.
The “Distance Measurement complete“ message
appears. The screen changes to ADD power mea-
surement for the near portion automatically.
• When the “Dist.A. Read” parameter is set to “OFF”, press the read button when the target
changes to (cross) in Step 5) and the measured data stabilizes.
• When the distance portion cannot be detected in normal measurement, bring the distance
portion onto the center of the nosepiece, and then press the read button.
• For progressive power lenses corrected with the horizontal prism, the pupil position for the
distance vision with spectacles is marked as distance portion. In such a case, press the
read button manually.
The near portion can be measured in the normal method.
36
5 Measure the near ADD power.

1) The target indicating the near portion appears.
The arrow shows the direction in which the lens
should be moved.
2) Move the lens slowly in the direction of the

arrow (toward you).
When the intermediate portion (progressive zone)
is detected, the “Now measuring near...“ message
appears and the current ADD power (Add)
appears.
The indicator for near portion (T) appears above,

below, on the right of, or on the left of the target,
which shows the direction and movement distance
to move the lens.
Move the lens as shown in the direction of (T).

The number of indicators for near portion (up to 3) shows how much the lens should be moved.
3) First perform horizontal alignment of the lens.

Move the lens in the horizontal direction until the
indicator for near portion (T) on the left and right
of the target disappear. ⇒
4) Perform vertical alignment of the lens.
Move the lens in the vertical direction until the indi- Move the lens in the vertical direction after horizontal
cator for near portion (T) above and below the alignment of the lens.
target disappear.
• When the indicator for near portion appears on the left or right of the target, perform
horizontal alignment again.
Perform vertical alignment of the lens ensuring that the indicator for near portion is not displayed
on the left and right of the target.
• When the indicator for near portion above the target does not disappear:
For frames with a small vertical diameter, the indicator for near portion may not disappear due to
steep variations in lens powers even though the lens is moved toward you. In such cases, press
the read button to measure the lens with the lens table at the front.
37
• Whether to display the indicator for near

portion (T) can be set with the “Indicator”
parameter.
When the “Indicator” parameter is set to
“OFF”, align the lens referring to the target.
When the vertical position is aligned, the
arrow disappears.
After horizontal and vertical alignment of the
lens, the target changes from to
(cross).
5) Perform fine vertical and horizontal adjust-

ments of the lens to align the target to the
crossline until the target changes from to
(cross).
6) When the target changes to (cross) and

the measured data stabilizes, the data is
fixed automatically.
The “Near Measurement complete“ message
appears.
• When the “Near A. Read” parameter is set to “OFF”, press the read button when the target
changes to (cross) in Step 6) and the measured data stabilizes.
• When the near portion cannot be detected in normal measurement, bring the near portion
onto the center of the nosepiece, and then press the read button.

For soft contact lenses, set the lens after remov-

ing moisture from the surface with a soft cloth.
CAUTION • Hold a contact lens with tweezers or fingers. Be careful not to damage the lens.
• Only use tweezers with round tips.
• Do not press the contact lens down with the lens holder.
It damages the contact lens.
5 Align the contact lens.

Align the contact lens, pushing its end lightly with
tweezers tips.

In CL measurement, a SE value is displayed
along with the S, C and A measured data.
• SE (Spherical Equivalent) value

This is 1/2 of the cylinder value added to the sphere value. When a non-cylindrical contact
lens is measured and still a cylinder value is detected, the SE value will be more reliable
than the SPH value to know the total sphere value.
It reduces the error in the measured data made by the unintended cylinder value.
• In CL measurement, auto read is disabled regardless of the parameter setting.

Press the read button for measurement.

OPERATING PROCEDURES: Measuring UV Transmittance
2.9 Measuring UV Transmittance
To measure UV (ultraviolet rays) transmittance, set the “UV” parameter.
After the result is displayed on the lower part of the measurement screen, the
NORMAL screen changes to the UV measurement screen.
Additional measurement allows for comparison of the UV protective effect of lenses.
SIMPLE The result is displayed on the lower part of the measurement screen.
UV transmittance is displayed at four levels (“None”, “Low”, “Moderate”, and “High”) based on the 2
transmittance measured result of 320 to 380 nm (central wavelength 365 nm, UV-A).
UV transmittance can be measured on any screen.
2 Align the distance portion of the lens.

Move the lens to bring the target ( ) close to the center of the alignment circle.
When the target comes within a range of 0.5∆ from the center, the target changes from
to (cross).
3 Hold the read button for about 1 second.

UV measurement is performed and the measured result is displayed.
• Perform UV measurement after measurement for the distance portion.

UV measurement is not performed after measurement for the near portion (intermediate portion)
even if the read button is pressed.
The indication of the measurement result differs according to the setting of the “UV” parame-
ter.
• When the parameter is set to “SIMPLE”:

{ Harmful effect of ultraviolet rays on eye

Ultraviolet rays included in sunlight are roughly classified into three types.
UV-C
Do not reach the Earth’s surface.
280 nm or less
Absorbed in cornea. Cornea damage such as inflammation.
UV-B
Causes sunburn. The skin becomes red.
280 to 320 nm
Causes skin irritation and skin damage such as stains, freckles, and wrinkles.
UV-A Accumulated in the crystalline lens, which may result in cataract.
320 to 380 nm Causes sunburn. The skin becomes dark.
The LM-1000P measures UV-A transmittance.

Since UV-A are the strongest, most harmful level of ultraviolet rays, measurement of the
transmittance of only UV-A was determined to be necessary to assess protection.
48
OPERATING PROCEDURES: Marking
2.10 Marking
2.10.1 Marking at the optical center

Marking is performed to indicate the optical center position and axis direction.
• To measure PD of mounted lenses, mark a lens at the optical center of both right-eye lens
and left-eye lens. Measure the distance between the marked center points. 2
• For simple astigmatism lenses such as S 0.00 D and C -1.00 D or equivalent lenses, the
target cannot be moved in the bus direction.
Mark a lens at the geometric center in the correct direction.
2 Align the lens.

Move the lens until the target changes from
to (cross) and then from (cross) to
(large cross).
(large cross) shows that the lens is within
φ0.8 mm from the optical center where marking
is allowed.
3 If the lens contains cylindrical power, set the cylinder axis according to the prescription.
While watching the axis value, rotate the lens until the prescribed axis value is displayed.
When the “A.Read S” or “A.Read R/L” parameter
is set to “ ” or “ ”, the measured data will
automatically be fixed after the target is aligned.
Watch the axis value displayed to the top right of

the target.
When (large cross) changes back to (cross), align the target again.
For the axis of 90° or 180°, the shape of the tar-

get changes as shown on the right.
AXIS 90° AXIS 180°
49
• When marking a cylinder lens in the bus direction, adjust the axis to 180°.
4 Mark the lens.

Press down the marking lever to mark the lens.
Three points in a line parallel to the lens table
are marked.
• Press down the marking lever slowly and lightly.

Pressing down firmly may damage the tip of the ink cartridge.
5 Remove the lens from the nosepiece.

To remove the lens, raise the lens holder lever
until it clicks.
• Do not touch the marked points.

Faded ink makes the cylinder axis hard to see.
• It is recommended to make its mark on the uncut lens with a marking pen to identify the
right side or left side of the lens or nasal side after marking.

NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflection from structures, objects and people.
a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile
radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To
assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the LM-1000P is used exceeds the applicable RF
compliance level above, the LM-1000P should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the LM-1000P.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
