A 3 meter BNC interconnect cable is included for all standard models. A BNC cable is permanently hardwired to slim profile models. If you are using a Scientech power meter, connect the detector to the power meter with its cable. Follow the detailed set up instructions that are in the power meter’s instruction manual.
Due to variability in the manufacturing process the absorption characteristics of the HD and P model detectors can vary in the UV region (190 to 400nm). Scientech recommends optical calibration at 266nm if the detector is to be used in the UV region instead of relying on an absorption rate in the chart at the end of this manual.
Scientech product specifications for a period of three (3) years. The product warranty period begins on the date of shipment from Scientech. Scientech warrants that its products shall conform to applicable Scientech specifications and drawings and will meet all the functional and performance requirements when properly installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with Scientech’s operating manual.
