IEC 664 and transient over voltages according to Installation Categories (Overvoltage Categories) CE Mark Certification The Astral Series calorimeters listed in this manual have been certified for the European CE mark. NPACKING The meter, calorimeter, and accessories are shipped in custom packing materials. All packing materials should be saved for future damage free shipments for calibration or repair. - Page 5 The Astral Series detectors are available in either surface or volume absorbing models with apertures of custom sizes or standard 8mm, 16mm, 25mm, 50mm, 100mm, and 200mm aperture models. The surface absorbing models are ideal for measuring continuous wave lasers while the volume absorbing models are well suited for pulsed lasers using either the watts mode or single pulse energy mode.
