2.6 Error Cases

Page 15

Revision 1.5 11

Error “Too hot” : The FLASH continously checks the power meter head’s

temperature. If the temperature exceeds the specification (65oC or 75°C), the graphic bar of the thermometer will be full, the red LED will blink and the FLASH will alternately display « HOT » and the lastest measurement. No further measurement is permitted as long as the device is in this error state. To exit this error, let the power meter head cool down.

Turning off the device, does not remove the error state.

Do not immerse the detector head’s in water (see page II : Warranty)

CO2

Error “Over range” : If the FLASH is used to measure a power more that 5% over

its maximum range, or if the maximum temperature (65oC or 75oC) is reached during the measure, « Err » will appear. Accordingly, the display will alternate between « Err » and « Hot » if the temperature exceeds (65oC). Also the red LED will light up instead of the green LED at the end of the measurement.

The last valid measure is kept in nonvolatile memory until a new valid one is taken. To exit this error, perform a new measurement or turn off the FLASH and turn it back on.. The head of the FLASH must also cool down if the maximum temperature has been reached.

CO2

Error “Low Bat” : When the battery voltage is too low, the « Low Bat » icon (

) appears.

See section 1.3 of this manuel to replace the batteries.

CO2

2.7 Displays over 10000 W (Only for the FLASH-10K)

In the special case of the FLASH-10K over 10000 W, the display changes for the Kilowatts instead of the watts (The maximum of the display is 12.0KW) .

Exemple : The image at the right is 10.0KW and not 10.0W.

2.8 Using the FLASH in energy mode

Page 16

Revision 1.5 12

(1) To change the mode from power to energy or to energy to power, first turn the FLASH off, Then turn the FLASH on by pressing and holding the two buttons.

If the initial mode was power the FLASH displays « JOUL » and changes its status for the energy mode.

If the initial mode was energy the FLASH displays « W » and changes its status for the power mode.

The mode of the FLASH will stay the same as long as the procedure described above is not executed.

(2) Place the FLASH on the measurement surface.

It is recommended to leave the FLASH stabilize for 30 seconds after startup before starting a new measure.

Do not turn the FLASH on with the laser on.

(3) Press the button once to reset the FLASH and

start a new measure.

The FLASH displays the icon « Ready » and « ---- » waiting

to detect an increase in temperature (the laser signal). The 2 LEDs are OFF.

Note : The only way to exit this mode is to make a measure or to shut down the device (see step (6)).

(4) When the FLASH detects an increase in temperature

(the laser pulse), it automatically starts the measure, displays the icon « Measure » and a countdown of the number of seconds remaining to complete the measurement. The 2 LEDs are OFF.

The countdown is 2 seconds for the all the Flash-500. The thermometer is continously updated independently of the mode.

Page 17

Revision 1.5 13

(5) As soon as the measurement is completed, the FLASH

displays the measured value and turns the backlight and the green LED ON for 10 seconds.

The red LED will be ON instead of the green LED if a measurement error occurred. (See the error section for details).

When the progress bar at the right of the screen is gone, the next measurement can be done by returning to step (3) described above.

The value is kept on display until a new measurement is started. (The last measurement is stored in the FLASH’s nonvolatile memory).

The progress bar indicates the time left of the 15 seconds rest time of the detector. It is not possible to start another measurement in until the countdown is over.

(6) To turn the FLASH off, press and hold the button

for 3 seconds. The Flash temporarily displays « OFF » and turns off completely.

The FLASH turns off automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity.

2 GENERAL INFORMATION

2.1 General instructions

To ensure a long lifetime of accurate measurements, the FLASH powermeter should be maintained within the following ambient conditions:

Storage environment temperature: 10 to 60°C, RH < 90% Operating environment temperature: 10 to 40ºC, RH < 80%.

It is possible to store and operate your Gentec-EO FLASH powermeter beyond this range. For any specific requirements, please contact your local Gentec-EO representative.

For the most accurate measurements, center the beam on the sensor face. The beam diameter on the sensor should ideally be the same size as the beam diameter of the original calibration, which

corresponds to >98% encircled power centered on 50% of the sensor’s surface (this complies with the

International Electrotechnical Commission standard #1040: "Power and Energy Measuring Detector..."). Refer to the calibration certificate for the exact calibration beam diameter.

2.2 Safety operation notes

Diffusive surfaces : When using the FLASH be aware of the diffused back reflection ~ 5-15%. Specular surfaces : When using the FLASH with the windows ‘’W’’ option be aware of the diffused back

reflection ~ 8-10%. As on any diffusive surface, the light on the sensor coating is scattered more or less uniformly as a

Lambertian diffuser. It is recommended to use the head with a black protective sleeve to limit wide-angled diffused reflections.

Safety laser glasses recommended. Detector temperature while in operation: During usage, the detector head can become hot enough to

cause burns.

2.3 Damage to the optical absorber material

Damage to the optical absorber material is usually caused by exceeding the manufacturer's specified maximum incident average power density. Refer to the specifications from section 1.4 of this manuel.

The FLASH series can measure up to 10kW. The beam diameter should always be as large as possible to avoid damage to the absorber. We recommend between 70% and 90% of the nominal head aperture, e.g. 4.6-5.2 cm in diameter for both Flash power meters.

In any case, the beam’s incident area should not be less than 10% of the detector’s aperture. Please

contact Gentec-EO to make measurements with such smaller beams. The damage threshold is decreasing with the laser beam power. The following table calculates the

diameter corresponding to the damage threshold for a Gaussian beam profile. The “minimum 1/e² beam

diameter” is calculated to obtain a peak intensity 50% lower than the damage threshold and should be

considered as the “safe” minimum diameter. If there are “hot spots” in the beam profile, they must be

considered in the calculation of the peak intensity.

Yag 1,064 µm

Peak Intensity. For Gaussian beam profile, the peak intensity is twice the beam power. Diameter of a circle corresponding to 86% of the entire beam power. Including a security factor of 50%
