1.1 Safety

We aim to develop and produce the best solution for your application in the

field of optical measurement technique. To help us to live up to your

expectations and develop our products permanently we need your ideas and

suggestions. Therefore, please let us know about possible criticism or ideas.

We and our international partners are looking forward to hearing from you.

Thorlabs

This part of the instruction manual contains every specific information on the

PM100D handheld optical power and energy meter. A general description is followed

by explanations of how to operate the unit manually. You will also find information

about a simple remote control of the unit.

Attention

This manual contains ‘WARNINGS” and ‘ATTENTION” labels in this

form, to indicate danger for persons or possible damage to equip-

ment.

Please read these advises carefully!

NOTE

This manual also contains ‘NOTES” and ‘HINTS” written in this form.

1.1 Safety

1 General Information

The PM100D Handheld Optical Power and Energy Meter is designed to measure the

optical power of laser light or other monochromatic or near monochromatic light

sources and the energy of pulsed light sources.

The space-saving, battery powered design and compatibility to all Thorlabs “C-Type”

Photodiode, Thermal, Pyroelectric sensors, and custom Photodiode, Thermal and

Pyroelectric detectors, combined with a fast USB device interface open a wide range

of applications in Manufacturing, Quality Control, Quality Assurance, and R&D for

stationary and field use.

The provided software, including drivers and applications for LabVIEW and C makes

it easy to integrate the instrument in test and measurement systems.

A rechargeable lithium polymer battery allows long intervals between the charging

cycles. The unit can be recharged with the supplied AC adapter or via USB

connection to a PC or laptop.

1.1 Safety

Attention 

All statements regarding safety of operation and technical data in this

instruction manual will only apply when the unit is operated correctly.

The power meter PM100D must not be operated in explosion endan-

gered environments!

Sensor, photodiode and control inputs and outputs must only be

connected with duly shielded connection cables.

Only with written consent from Thorlabs may changes to single compo-

nents be carried out or components not supplied by Thorlabs be used.

Do not remove covers!

Refer servicing to qualified personal!

Attention 

Mobile telephones, cellular phones or other radio transmitters are

not to be used within the range of three meters of this unit since the

electromagnetic field intensity may then exceed the maximum

allowed disturbance values according to IEC 61326-1.

This product has been tested and found to comply with the limits

according to IEC 61326-1 for using connection cables shorter than 3

meters (9.8 feet).

1.1 Safety

Attention 

The following statement applies to the products covered in this

manual, unless otherwise specified herein. The statement for other

products will appear in the accompanying documentation.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the

limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC

Rules and meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-

Causing Equipment Standard ICES-003 for digital apparatus. These

limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful

interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,

uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and

used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful inter-

ference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee

that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this

equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television

reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and

on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or

more of the following measures:

▪Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

▪Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

▪Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from

that to which the receiver is connected.

▪Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/T.V. technician for help.

Thorlabs GmbH is not responsible for any radio television interfer-

ence caused by modifications of this equipment or the substitution

or attachment of connecting cables and equipment other than those

specified by Thorlabs GmbH. The correction of interference caused

by such unauthorized modification, substitution or attachment will

be the responsibility of the user.

The use of shielded I/O cables is required when connecting this

equipment to any and all optional peripheral or host devices. Failure

to do so may violate FCC and ICES rules.
