WARRANTY
First Year Warranty
The Gentec-EO thermal power and energy detectors carry a one-year warranty (from date of shipment)
against material and /or workmanship defects when used under normal operating conditions. The
warranty does not cover recalibration or damages related to misuse.
Gentec-EO will repair or replace at its option any wattmeter or joulemeter which proves to be defective
during the warranty period, except in the case of product misuse.
Any unauthorized alteration or repair of the product is also not covered by the warranty.
The manufacturer is not liable for consequential damages of any kind.
In the case of a malfunction, contact the local Gentec-EO distributor or nearest Gentec-EO office to

Lifetime Warranty
Gentec-EO will warranty any thermal power and energy detector head for its lifetime as long as it has
been returned for recalibration annually from the date of shipment. This warranty includes parts and labor
for all routine repairs including normal wear under normal operating conditions.
Gentec-EO will inspect and repair the detector during the annual recalibration. Exceptions to repair at
other times will be at Gentec-EO's option.
Not included is the cost of annual recalibration or consequential damages from using the detector.
The only condition is that the detector head must not have been subject to unauthorized service or
damaged by misuse. Misuse would include, but is not limited to; laser exposure outside Gentec-EO's
published specifications, physical damage due to improper handling, and exposure to hostile
environments.
Hostile environments would include, but are not limited to excessive temperature,
vibration, humidity (>80%), or surface contaminants; exposure to flame, solvents or water; and connection
to improper electrical voltage.

    Revision 2.1 2.2 UM-B SERIES “SMART INTERFACE” CONNECTOR The DB-15 male “Smart Interface” connector contains an EEPROM (Erasable Electrical Programmable Read-Only Memory) programmed with the calibration sensitivity and other data related to the specific UM- B wattmeter in use. Faster set-ups are obtained because the monitor automatically adjusts to the characteristics of the wattmeter, when the “Smart Interface”...

    Revision 2.1 3.3.2 Working at other wavelengths than 1.064µm For measurements with a UM-B Series wattmeter at wavelengths other than 1.064µm, a correction factor must be set to compensate for the change in sensitivity of the wattmeter caused by the change in absorption of the optical absorber at different wavelengths.

    - Peak Power Density - Single Pulse Energy Density Refer to the UM-B Series wattmeter specifications pages. Damage can also be caused when using a detector with a contaminated absorber or attenuator surface. The damage thresholds specified in the specifications section refer to a visible alteration of the absorber surface.
