Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the HIOKI Model 9743-10 OPTICAL SENSOR. To obtain maximum performance from the device, please read this manual first, and keep it handy for future reference.

Upon first use of the 9743-10, please confirm the software version of your 3664 OPTICAL POWER METER.

The 3664 software version is shown under the "3664" on the display screen at power up. If the 3664 is Version 1.02 or later, the 9743-10 can be used immediately. If the 9743-10 is connected to a 3664 that is Version 1.01 or earlier, "Err1" will be displayed on the 3664 screen and measurement will not be possible. If "Err1" appears on the 3664 display screen, please download the 3664 Sensor Data Setup Software (Hioki 3664 Setup Utility) from our website (http://www.hioki.co.jp) and set up your 3664. For detailed instructions on how to perform the sensor data setup of the 3664, see the document included with the downloaded files.

Overview

The 9743-10 is an optical sensor for the 3664 OPTICAL POWER METER capable of measuring up to 100 mW in the range of wavelengths from 380 to 450 nm.

Inspection and Maintenance

Initial Inspection

When you receive the device, inspect it carefully to ensure that no damage occurred during shipping. If damage is evident, or if it fails to operate according to the specifications, contact your dealer or Hioki representative.

Preliminary Checks

Before using the device the first time, verify that it operates normallyto ensure that the no damage occurred during storage or shipping. If you find any damage, contact your dealer or Hioki representative.
Before using the device, make sure that the insulation on the cablesis undamaged and that no bare conductors are improperly exposed. Using the device in such conditions could cause an electric shock, so contact your dealer or Hioki representative for repair.

Maintenance and Service

To clean the device, wipe it gently with a soft cloth moistened withwater or mild detergent. Never use solvents such as benzene, alcohol, acetone, ether, ketones, thinners or gasoline, as they can deform and discolor the case.
With the exception of ethyl alcohol, avoid using organic solvents toclean the detector window. These solvents can damage the detector window.
If the device seems to be malfunctioning, contact your dealer orHioki representative.
Pack the device so that it will not sustain damage during shipping, and include a description of existing damage. We cannot accept responsibility for damage incurred during shipping.

Safety Information

This manual contains information and warnings essential for safe operation of the device and for maintaining it in safe operating condition. Before using it, be sure to carefully read the following safety precautions.

This device is designed to comply with IEC 61010 Safety Standards, and has been thoroughly tested for safety prior to shipment. However, mishandling during use could result in injury or death, as well as damage to the device. Be certain that you understand the instructions and precautions in the manual before use. We disclaim any responsibility for accidents or injuries not resulting directly from device defects.

Safety Symbol:
In the manual, the warning symbol indicates particularly important information that the user should read before using the device.
The warning symbol printed on the device indicates that the user should refer to a corresponding topic in the manual (marked with the warning symbol) before using the relevant function.

The following symbols in this manual indicate the relative importance of cautions and warnings.

Indicates that incorrect operation presents an extreme hazard that could result in serious injury or death to the user.

Indicates that incorrect operation presents a possibility of injury to the user or damage to the device.

warning NOTE: Indicates advisory items related to performance or correct operation of the device.

Operating Precautions

Follow these precautions to ensure safe operation and to obtain the full benefits of the various functions.

The sensor detector window reflects irradiated laser light. Under certain circumstances even this reflected light can reach levels dangerous to the eye, potentially causing blurring or loss of vision, so please use sufficient caution when handling.

To prevent malfunctions in the 3664 or the optical sensor, avoid connecting or disconnecting the optical sensor connector while power for the 3664 is ON.
To avoid damaging the optical sensor and to ensure accuratemeasurements, avoid dropping or applying any physical shock to the optical sensor.
Avoid touching the detector window with your bare hands. The detector window must be clean for the sensor to meet the specified performance parameters.
Avoid scratching the detector window with sharp or pointedobjects (e.g., the tips of tweezers) or against hard surfaces. Damage to the detector window may prevent the sensor from meeting specified performance parameters.
To avoid breaking the cables, do not bend or pull them.
To avoid broken wires, always grasp the plug to disconnectthe optical sensor connector. Avoid pulling on the cable itself.
When measuring an extremely concentrated beam the optical power density on the sensor may become excessive and accurate measurement may not be possible. This may also cause the sensor to wear out. In order to avoid a loss of sensor sensitivity, use the 9743-10 under conditions where the optical power density is 10 mW /mm 2 or less when the incident power is 50 mW or less.
When the incident power is greater than 50 mW position the sensor so that the beam size is as large as possible on the sensor detector window. Incident power of 100 mW is possible if the full area is irradiated.
Make sure no stress is applied to the repeater cable between the sensor main unit and its light-receiving element.
This device is not designed to be entirely water- or dust-proof. Do not use it in an especially dusty environment, nor where it might be splashed with liquid. This may cause damage.
This device is designed for use indoors. It can be operated at temperatures between 0 and 40°C (32 and 104°F) without degrading safety.

warning NOTE:
To ensure accurate measurements, make sure the detector window is free of dust, stains, and any damage.

Measurement Procedure

Make sure power for the 3664 is OFF.
Place the 9743-10 optical sensor with the arrow side facing up and insert into the optical sensor connector of the 3664.
Turn on power for the 3664.
If the 3664 display shows "Err1", then the 3664 is not compatible with this device. Refer to "Introduction", and set up your 3664.
Remove the cover of the optical sensor.
Irradiate with light.

warning NOTE:

Always grasp the connector with the arrow to connect or dis-connect the optical sensor. You must grasp the connector to disconnect the sensor.
To prevent dust accumulation, stains, and damage, cover thedetector window with the sensor cover when the sensor is not in use.
Take care to avoid misplacing the sensor cover.
Note the correct orientation of the sensor cover. The HIOKIlogo should face in the direction indicated in the diagram above.

Cleaning the detector window

With the exception of ethyl alcohol, avoid using organic solvents to clean the detector window. These solvents can damage the detector window.

Open the sensor cover.
Wipe the detector window of the sensor using lens cleaning paper or other lint-free material.
If lint remains on the detector window, blow off with an optical lens airbrush.
If the detector window is soiled, fluff the tip of a cotton swab. Moisten the cotton tip in ethyl alcohol and wipe the surface.
