OUTPUT

A BNC output jack on the front panel provides a 0 to +2 volt analogsignal. The voltage of the output in milli-volts is the same as the readingon the display except that the decimal places are ignored. If the displayreads 0.500 mW, the output will be 500 mV. The output has a 1 ohmimpedance. The meter’s frequency response is DC to 100 kHz. This isadequate to permit the meter to be used as a demodulator for an audiofrequency modulated laser beam.

RECALIBRATION

Where exacting precision and accuracy are required, annual recalibrationis recommended. Where a deviation of a few percent is acceptable, themeter typically deviates very little over a several year period.

Metrologic offers factory recalibration at a nominal cost. ContactMetrologic for current price and shipping instructions.

If field recalibration is desired, a suitable standard is available, and themeter is functioning normally, the display and output can be recalibratedas follows:

1. Position the detector cell (or optically block the detector cell) so aminimal amount of ambient light is getting into the cell, then rotatethe zero offset knob to obtain a zero reading. (To obtain a zeroreading, reduce to no more than .5% of the chosen range theamount of ambient light getting into the cell.)

Illuminate the detector cell aperture with a source of known brightness.With a small, flat blade screwdriver, adjust the CAL. potentiometer untilthe display equals the standard.

INTRODUCTION

The digital laser power meter (45-545) provides accuracy required forresearch applications and for CDRH compliance measurements. Itemploys a LCD display with large, 12 mm (.47") - high numerals. Thisunit operates in three modes: standard, sample/hold, and percentageratiometer. In standard and sample/hold mode, the meter’s four rangeshave full scale readings for 19.99 µW, 199.9 µW, 1.999 mW, and 19.99mW.

Calibration is within 2% of full scale for the 633 nm of He-Ne(helium-neon) or 675 nm of LED laser light. For monochromatic light orother wavelengths within the meter’s 430 to 950 nm range, a built-inradiometric filter corrects to within 10% of standard. An analog signal,available from a BNC output terminal, may be used to drive strip chartrecorders, oscilloscopes, and other devices. Signals up to 100 kHz canbe detected and amplified. The analog output ranges from 0 to +2 volts.

The meter’s detector cell may be exposed to bright light without damagebecause circuitry within the amplifier protects the instrument from anoverload up to 20 mW.

The detector, a silicon photo sensor with 1 cm active area, has a 7mmdiameter aperture, 30 degree acceptance angle. The detector ismounted in a 25.4 mm diameter cell on a 0.5 m retractable shieldedcable.

The meter may be powered by either 115 VAC or two 9V batteries. Themeter will automatically disconnect the batteries when 115 VAC is in use. A small step-down (230 VAC to 115 VAC) transformer is required if themeter will be powered by 230 VAC.

The size of the case is 60 mm (length) x 135 mm (width) x 175 mm(height).

SAFETY AND OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

Before opening the unit, unplug the AC line cord from the receptacle. NEVER open the unit until it is certain the AC line cord is unplugged.

The following operating precautions should also be observed:

Never measure the output of any light source until it isdetermined to be 20 mW or less. Extremely high intensitysources can damage the silicon photo detector.

Always begin readings at the highest range.

Turn the meter off and unplug the line cord from the ACreceptacle when not in use.

TAKING MEASUREMENTS IN PERCENTAGE RATIOMETRIC MODE

The meter will perform a percentage calculation of the transmitted beamonce it has been reflected from a mirror or passed through an attenuatorwhen the Set 100% feature has been implemented.

Before performing the following procedure, make sure the meter is on,the mode switch is in the CONT (Continuous) position, and the rangeselector is in the Set 100% position.

1. Turn the Set 100% knob clockwiseas far as it can turn.

2. Position the detector cell (oroptically block the detector cell) soa minimal amount of ambient lightis getting into the cell, then rotatethe zero offset knob to obtain azero reading. (To obtain a zeroreading, reduce to no more than.5% of the chosen range theamount of ambient light gettinginto the cell.)

3. Illuminate the detector cel laperture with the beam powerpreviously measured from .5 mWto 1.5 mW. Rotate the Set 100%knob again to obtain a 100.0reading. Refer to Example A infigure 2.

4. Aim the beam onto the measuredobject (mirror or attenuator) andmeasure the transmitted power ofthis beam. The LCD display willshow the co-efficient of thetransmission in percentage. Referto Examples B and C in figure 2.

TAKING MEASUREMENTS IN STANDARD AND SAMPLE/HOLD MODE

Sample/Hold Mode:

1. Repeat Step 1 of Standard Mode.

2. Flip the mode switch toward the middle position.

3. Flip and release the mode switch toward the RESET position oneto three times with ½ - 1 sec intervals until a zero reading on thedisplay is obtained. (0 ± 5 of last digit)

4. To measure the power of laser light, illuminate the detector cellaperture with the laser beam for no less than 10 ms. If the readingis less than 199 (ignore the decimal point), flip the mode switchtoward the CONT (Continuous) position. Rotate the range selectorclockwise to the next lower range and repeat Steps 1, 2, 3 and 4until the reading is more than 199.

BATTERY INSTALLATION


To install the batteries:

1. Make sure the AC line cord is unplugged.

2. From the corners of the front panel remove the four screws, thenlift the panel from the base.

3. Place two 9V batteries into the battery holders located on the backof the PC board.

4. Replace the front panel and screws. Once the panel is secured tothe case, plug the AC line cord into an AC outlet again.

The meter will operate for approximately twenty (20) hours on a pair ofzinc carbon batteries; for alkaline batteries it will operate twenty-five (25)hours.

Voltage is continuously monitored by the meter’s circuitry. In the upperleft-hand corner of the LCD display, the message “Lo Batt” or a left pointedarrow will appear when the batteries are below 7V, or when the meter isoperating from an AC outlet having less than 85 VAC.


In standard mode (CONT: Continuous), the meter will display the powerof the measured laser light as long as the detector cell aperture isilluminated by the laser beam. In sample/hold mode, the meter willdisplay the maximum power of the measured laser light until reset ischosen.

Before performing the following procedures, make sure the meter is on,the mode switch is in the CONT (Continuous) position, and the rangeselector is in the 20 mW position. Also, before starting measurements,position the photocell and its cord.

During each session, avoid touching or moving the detector cell and itscord while taking measurements because any movement of the detectorcell or cord may cause an inaccurate measurement. This becomesespecially important as the range of the meter becomes lower (moresensitive).

Standard Mode:

1. Position the detector cell (or optically block the detector cell) so aminimal amount of ambient light is getting into the cell, then rotatethe zero offset knob to obtain a zero reading. (Reduce the amountof ambient light getting into the cell to no more than .5% of thechosen range to obtain a zero reading.)

2. Illuminate the detector cell aperture with the laser beam. If thereading is less than 1.99, rotate the range selector clockwise to asuccessively lower scale while obtaining a zero reading each timeby repeating Step 1.

3. To measure the power of laser light, illuminate the detector cellaperture once again with the laser beam.

Note: If the input exceeds the capability of any range, the meterwill indicate “1” and the numerals in decimal places will notappear.
