INTRODUCTION The TPM-300-CE is the highest quality Laser Power Meter available on the market. In order to obtain the maximum performance from the TPM-300-CE, it is preferable to read the following manual carefully. The TPM-300-CE has been specially designed for laser maintenance applications and laser power spot checks, but its characteristics make it useful for general laser beam power and measurement applications.
THE TPM-300-CE DIGITAL POWER METER Introduction The TPM-300-CE is a digital/analog power meter designed to be used with any of the new PS Series detector heads (see section 3.1 for further details). No calibration is required when connecting the detector heads. The TPM-300-CE is already internally set to accept all the PS Series detector heads.
The mW indicator signals a digital meter readout in milliwatts. W light indicator: The W indicator signals a digital meter readout in Watts.

TPM-300-CE monitor. The Gentec-eo inc V1 to V2 (100-16651) adapter can be used to permit connection of the PS-310 Series and PS-330 Series Version 1 power detector heads. Please contact your local GENTEC distributor or the nearest Gentec-eo inc office for further information (see WARRANTY page).
Power Measurement Procedure Install the power detector head on its optical stand. Connect the power detector head to the TPM-300-CE using the PROBE INPUT jack. Slide the latch to the left to lock the connector into place. Remove the power detector cap.
The parity can be set only from a computer or a terminal. Select one of the following: None (8 data bits), Even (7 data bits), or Odd (7 data bits). When you set the parity, you indirectly set the number of data bits. TPM-300-CE Instruction Manual Revision 5 November 2008...
