  • Page 10: Environmental Requirements

    Note: When using a 25 mm Astral calororimeter for measuring average power levels below 30 mW and single pulse energy levels below 30 mJ, a Scientech Model 36-0203A, Isoperibol Enclosure, is required. The isoperibol enclosure should not be used at average power levels above 30 mW, and single pulse energy levels above 100 mJ because unwanted heat build up will occur.

  • Page 11: Turn On Sequence

    S310 Rear Panel S310 Front Panel Turn On Sequence The S310 cycles through a self-calibration sequence whenever it is turned on. The display will show all segments until completion of the self-calibration period which takes about 25 seconds. At the end of this sequence the unit will revert to its operational state in its last used configuration.

    7. If The S310 has the optional IEEE488 interface, the REMOTE annunciator will appear along with the digital interface previously selected; r232 (RS232) or IEEE (IEEE488). Press the SETUP button to toggle the interface between r232 (RS232) and IEEE (IEEE488). Press the SELECT button when the desired interface appears in the display.

If no attenuator or correction factor is to be applied to the displayed value, the setting should be 1.000. If a multiplier is to be applied to the displayed value, use the count up (RANGE), count down (MODE) buttons to enter the multiplier value.

    Range The RANGE button is used to select the range most appropriate for the power or energy level to be measured. On the S310 only, held down the RANGE button to toggle the analog meter on or off. The appropriate ranges will be automatically determined by the type of detector which has been programmed into the group which has been selected.

    4. The STATS button must be pressed to recall each data point: the number of pulses collected, the average energy (AVG), minimum energy (MIN), maximum energy (MAX), standard deviation (SIGMA), and coefficient of variation (CV%). After recalling the data, the flashing STATS annunciator indicates the S310 is ready for a new run.

    PERATING ROCEDURES  P S310 SING THE WITH ECTOR YROELECTRIC ETECTORS Pyroelectric detector models P25, P50, SP25, SP50, P05, and P09 are coated with a special black absorbing material which provides a very flat spectral response over a broad wavelength band. Models PHF25, PHF50, SPHF25, SPHF50, PHF02, PHF05, and PHF09 have a partially absorbing, partially reflecting chromium coating.

  • Page 19: Average Energy Mode

    Average Energy Mode The average energy mode displays a running average of a selected number of pulses from 2 to 9999. Enter into the average energy mode by pressing the MODE button until the “J AVG” annunciator appears in the display.

With the calorimeter delay entered, the S310 will display the "trig" annunciator and the single pulse energy after the first pulse is delivered.

  • Page 23: Determination Of Power And Energy From The Analog Output Assuming 3 V Full Scale

    Again, this can be determined by noting the peak voltage value on the analog output, and the joules reading on the S310 display. With a pyroelectric detector connected to the S310, determine the relationship between the peak voltage value and the energy (joules) or power (watts) reading on the S310 display in the same manner. The analog output with the various detectors and operating modes should appear as follows: 1.
  • Page 24 Calorimeters In the energy (joules) mode the analog output is an amplified voltage signal proportional to the voltage generated by the calorimeter thermopile. To calculate energy (joules) from the analog output use the following equation. J = 0.3(Vpk)(TC) (S)(R) where: = peak voltage from the analog output = the calorimeter time constant from the calorimeter serial tag = the calorimeter output sensitivity as follows:...
  • Page 25 The analog output voltage is approximately 3 volts full scale. With an Ultra calorimeter the digital display will read up to 300 watts, even though the Ultra Calorimeter is only rated for 150 watts. To calculate power from the analog output voltage use the following equation. [0.0332(S)] - [3 x 10 V = analog output voltage (V) S = Ultra sensitivity mV/W...

    Compare this resistance to R c in the calibration data in the front of the manual. The two should agree within 2%. If not contact Scientech. 5. Remove the DVM. Connect a power supply to the SUB and HTR test points and connect the DVM to monitor the power supply.

  • Page 29: Damage Considerations

    Damage Considerations 1. Surface Absorbers Surface absorbing calorimeters have been found to safely withstand 200 W/cm 2 . This heat input is diffused across the thermopile surface so that the local surface temperature is acceptable. Experience has indicated the damage threshold for a single pulse to be 1 joule/cm 2 in a 1 microsecond gaussian pulse. For the recommended operatings limits please review the energy density formulas given in the chart on page 1.
