Warning: You must exercise caution when using HD detectors. They exhibit spectral reflection of
between 7% and 18%, of the input power, back out of the aperture. Please refer t o Figure 1 to det ermi ne
the reflectance for the wavelength you are measuring. These detectors should be treated as a partial mirror
or any other type of reflective optic and the appropriate caution level observed, especially at the CO2
wavelength.

Figure 1. HD Absorption vs Wavelength

HD calorimeters mi ght show “beam” marks on the absorbing sur face. These m arks are characteri stic of
the material and d o not affect th e performance o f the calorimete r. Do not rub off or remove the marks.
Polishing or cleaning the absorbing surface might change the performance of the calorimeter.

Please see the table at the end of this manual for specific absorption vs. wavelength information.

ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIFICATIONS

This product is intended for indoor use at altitudes up to 2000 meters, Pollution Degree 2 in accordance
with IEC 664 and transient over voltages according to Installation Categories (Overvoltage Categories)
II. Note that each of the above detectors will not pass the IEC 801 Publication, Part 3, Radiated
Electromagnetic Field Requirements. The s ystem, meter and detector, i s designed to measure radi ation
within the test's radiation band. The detectors were held outside the radiated electromagnetic field during

PN9458Q 6

this test. It is up to th e user to be aware o f R F fields present during meas ur em ent s and t hei r effect s if any
on those measurements.

CE Certification

All of the calorimeters listed in this manual have been certified for the European CE mark.

UNPACKING AND SETUP

The calorimeter and accessories are shipped in custom packing materials. All packing materials should be
saved for future damage free shipments.

Each detector has a 1/2" diameter mounting hole for installing the detec tor onto a mounting base assembly.
Screw the mounting base post into one of the mounting holes in the body of the calorimeter. Optional
mounting base assemblies are available for purchase from Scientech for mounting the detector/mounting
base assembly to an optical bench.

A 3 meter mini DIN interconnect cable is also included. If you are using a Scientech indicator, connect
the calorimeter to the in dicator with the interc onnect ca ble. F ollow the d etailed set up instruction s tha t are
in the indicator’s instruction manual. If you are not using a Scientech indicator operating requirements are
contained in this manual.

Note: Vector™ calorimeters are sensitive to all types of thermal input. Due to the handling of the
calorimeter during setup and possible environmental temperature differences, thermal gradients may exist
in the calorimeter. Allow the calorimeter to sit undisturbed for several minutes to reach thermal
equilibrium before using.
Note: When using a 25mm Vector calorimeter for measuring average power levels bel ow 30mW and
single pulse energy levels below 30mJ, a Scientech Model 36-0203A, Isoperibol™ Enclosure, is highly
recommended. The Isoperibol enclosure should not be used at average power levels above 30mW, and
single pulse energy levels above 100mJ because heat build-up will occur.

PN9458Q 7

CORRECTING VECTOR™ HD CALORIMETER OPERATING PARAMETERS FOR USE AT DIFFERENT WAVELENGTHS

Scientech Vector calorimeters in general have a flat respons e to all wavelengths w ithin their specified
spectral response. HD and HDX calorimeters are an exception to that rule and are calibrated at a specific
wavelength by adjusting the calorimeter’s gain circuitry for that wavelength. The calib rati on w avel e ngth
is recorded in the Operating Parameters section at the front of the manual and on the detector’s serial tag.
When a HD or HDX calorimeter is used at a wavelength other than the calibration wavelength, the
calorimeter’s output sensitivity can be adjusted to compensate for the absorption rate at the new
wavelength as follows:

1. Find the absorption rate from the chart at the end of this manual for the calibration wavelength of

your calorimeter.

2. Find the absorption rate for the wavelength where you will be working.

3. Determine the new output sensitivity using the following formula:

absorption rate of new wavelength x output sensitivity (V/J) = output sensitivity for new

absorption rate of calibration wavelength wavelength from serial tag

NOTE: Due to variability in the manufacturing process the absorption characteristics of the HD model
calorimeters 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.

VECTOR™ CALORIMETER OPERATION WITHOUT POWER METER

Cable Requirements

Vector calorimeters are powered up by the indicators. To us e a Vector calori meter without a Scientech

PN9458Q 8

power meter, but with a volt meter, you must apply +/-8Vdc to the mini DIN connector as shown in Figure

2. The voltage output of the calorimeter, from pin 8, should be connected to the positive side of the DVM
or chart recorder. All 3 of the grounds should be tied together at the negative side. Pins 2 and 3 are not
used.

Figure 2. Calorimeter mini DIN Connector Pin Out

Operation of Vector Calorimeters with a Digital Volt Meter

The calorimeters may be used with any digital volt meter (DVM) capable of reading 5 volts full scale.

1. Connect the output of the calorimeter to the DVM.

2. Select the DC volts mode.

3. Direct the laser beam on to the absorbing surface of the calorimeter.

4. When the display of the DVM has stabilized (about 2 minutes), calculate the laser power using the

formula:

W = V/S

where:

W = Laser power in watts
V = Voltage reading of the DVM in volts
S = Sensitivity of the calorimeter from page 2.

ELECTRIC SUBSTITUTION HEATING

For Vector calorimeters the electric substitution hea ting option must be ordered and installed at the fac tory
when the calorimeter is purchased. It cannot be retrofitted to a calorimeter at a later time. To calibrate
using electric substitution heating proceed as follows.

A. Remove the screw s holding the calori meter's ID tag and rem ove the plate to ex pose the circuit

board. Figure 3 shows the pin out of the calorimeter circuit board.

Figure 3. Vector Calorimeter Circuit Board

B. Connect a DVM to the test points labeled SUB and HTR on the calorimeter circuit board.

C. Measure the resistance of the substitution heater making sure to subtract the resistance of

the patch cables from t he tot al resis tance m easure ment. Comp are this resistan ce to Rc in
the calibration data in the front of the manual. The two should agree within 2%. If not

contact Scientech.

PN9458Q 10

D. Remove the DVM. Connect a power supply to the SUB and HTR test points and connect

the DVM to monitor the power supply.

E. Connect a second DVM to the output and ground of the Vector calorimeter.

F. Apply Vh volts, stated in the calibration data you received with the calorimeter, to the

substitution heater.

G. Verify that the output v oltage is one of the following values depending on the type of

calorimeter being tested:

0.750 volts for 25 mm calorimeters

0.333 volts for 50 mm calorimeters

H. If needed, adjust the calibration trim pot, R4 on the calorimeter circuit board, until the

voltage measured in step G is from the calibration data, is displayed by the indicator.

UNPACKING AND SET UP

The calorimeter and accessories are shipped in custom packing materials. All packing materials should
be saved for future damage free shipments for repair or calibration.

A ¾” diameter mounting post and mounting base are available for the larger calorimeters. The post screws
into the ¾” mounting hole in the body of the large calorimeter. Mount the post to your optical bench or
working surface.

If you are using a Scientech power meter, connect the calorimeter to the interface module and the interface
module to the indicator. Follow the detailed set up instructions that are in the power meter’s instruction
manual. If you are not using a Scientech power meter operating re quirements are contained in this manual.

Note: Lar ge aperture calorimeters are sensitive to all types of thermal input. Due to the handling of the
calorimeter during setup and possible environmental temperature differences, thermal gradients may exist
in the calorimeter. Allow the calorimeter to sit undisturbed for several minutes to, reach thermal
equilibrium, before using.

Cable Requirements for Larg e Calorimeters

Refer to Figure 1. The output of the calorimeter is connected directly to the DVM. Large aperture
calorimeters do not require any power. The voltage output is on pin 1 of the DIN connector and sh ould
be connected to the positive side of the DVM. Ground is on pin 3 and should be connected to the negative
side. Pin 2 is not used.

W = V/S

where:
W = Laser power in watts

PN9458Q 15

V = Voltage reading of the DVM in volts
S = Sensitivity of the calorimeter from page 2.

Calibration of Large Aperture Calorimeters

A. Refer to Figure 1. Connect a DVM to the white jacks of the calorimeter.
B. Measure the resistance of the substitution heater making sure to subtract the resistance of the patch

cables from the total resistance measurement.

When measuring the substitution heater resistance of a 200 mm calorimeter, R1 and R2 must be connected
together in series.
Compare this resis tance to Rc in the calibration data in the front of the manual. The two should agree

within 2%. If not, contact Scientech.

C. Calculate the voltage equivalent to laser power using the following formula:

V = (Rc x C x W)

1/2

where:
V = voltage applied to the heater coil
Rc = substitution heater resistance from step B
C = Cal coefficient 360401 = 1.018 360801 = 1.000
380401 = 0.974 380801 = 1.008
380402 = 1.024 380802 = 1.008
384UV5 = 1.021 388UV5 = 1.002
W = desired laser power in watts

D. Connect the DVM to the calorimeter’s DIN connector.
E. Apply the calculated voltage (V) to the electrical substitution heater.
F. Record the voltage reading of the DVM (Vc).
G. Calculate the calorimeter’s output sensitivity (S) as follows:

S = Vc/W

PN9458Q 16

where:
S = calorimeter’s output sensitivity
