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

obtain a return authorization number. Return the material to the appropriate address below.

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, or surface contaminants; exposure to flame, solvents or water; and connection to
improper electrical voltage.

1 ULTRA SERIES UP POWER DETECTORS

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The Gentec-EO Ultra Series UP power detector family includes eleven series (XLP12, UP12E,
UP17P, UP19K, UP25N(M), UP25T, UP50N(M), UP55N(M), UP55C, UP60N(M), UP55G, and
UP60G) of opto-thermal sensors with different cooling options (stand alone, heat sink, fan and
water), with or without amplification. The high power surface absorber sensors are designed for use
at high average power densities.

The UP detectors are supplied with a 180 cm length flexible cable with output connection options of
a DB-15 "intelligent" male connector, an Integra USB connector, a BNC connector, a Molex
connector and a BNC/Molex connector. A few exception exist: the UP50N series is available with
BNC/Molex connector on special order only and the XLP12, UP60N(M), and UP60G series are only
supplied with a DB-15 “intelligent” male connector and the Integra USB connector.

NOTE: To eliminate possible damage, do not carry the detector using the connector cable.

The UP detectors may also be supplied with a stand. Be aware that when using a detector with a
heat sink, the fins should always be placed vertically.

For cases where Gentec-EO’s monitors don’t automatically read the wavelength correction factor,
you can use your detector’s “Personal wavelength correctionTM Certificate” to adjust the power you
read to a power corrected for a particular wavelength.

Call your nearest Gentec-EO distributor to replace the sensor disk and/or to recalibrate the head.
For Gentec-EO’s nearest office contact information, see p. ii, Contacting Gentec Electro-Optics

1.2 POWER DETECTOR CONNECTORS

1.2.1 DB-15 “intelligent” connector

The DB-15 male "intelligent" connector contains an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable
Read-Only Memory) with different information such as the model of the detector, the calibration
sensitivity, the applicable scales and the wavelength correction factor for up to 20 wavelengths
related to the Ultra Series UP detector head in use.

This connector, available in the UP without amplification, allows the TPM-300CE, DUO (model of
the detector, calibration sensitivity and scale) and SOLO (model of the detector, calibration
sensitivity, scale and wavelength correction factor) monitors to adjust their characteristics
automatically to the power sensor being connected. No calibration procedure is required when
installing the power heads, allowing for faster set-up.

The DB-15 connector pin-out is composed of (see Fig. 1-1):

1.2.2 Integra USB connector

The Integra USB Connector is an integrated monitor that allows to plug the head directly into a
computer. It has the same serial commands as the MAESTRO and a few extra one’s (see the PC­Gentec-EO Manual) and uses the same PC-Gentec-EO software. All specifications are mostly the
same, except for:

Wattmeter and joulemeter heads have a noise ~1.3 x higher.
The risetime of the UP12 head (with anticipation) is slower by 0.2 seconds.

1.2.3 BNC connector

The BNC connector is quick and easy to install and is the best at shielding EMI noise.
The BNC connector allows you to connect the detector directly on an oscilloscope or to a precision

microvoltmeter with the correct load impedance. The connector is available in the UP detectors
without amplification (load impedance: 100 kΩ) and with the Molex connector in the amplified
version (load impedance : 10 MΩ).

FIG. 1-2 BNC CONNECTOR

1.2.4 OEM Molex connector (E0 version)

The Molex female connector is available in the UP19-xxx-H5 and UP12E-xxx-H5 without
amplification (load impedance : 100 kΩ). It allows you to connect to an external PCB board
available at Gentec-EO.

1.2.5 Molex connector (MT version)

The Molex male connector, available in the UP with amplification, allows you to power the internal
circuit board (PCB) and to read the signal with your own electronics.

The PCB needs +12 to +16V from a regulated power supply but does not need negative voltage.

1.2.6 Molex-BNC (BT version)

The Molex-BNC connection, available in the UP with amplification, allows you to power the internal
circuit board (PCB) with the Molex connector and to read the signal with the BNC connector (load
impedance : 10 MΩ). The PCB needs +12 to +16V from a regulated power supply but does not
need negative voltage.

The detector with trim pot and BNC connector (recommended load impedance: 10 MΩ), available in
the UP12E, UP19K, UP25N, UP25T and UP55N without amplification, allows you to have the same
sensitivity for all your detector.
