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-Series” Photodiode, Thermal, Pyroelectric sensors, and custom Photodi-

ode, 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.

Please refer to the user manual on the data carrier supplied with the unit for

detailed function description.

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 as

it was designed for.

Do not remove covers! Do not open the cabinet. There are no parts ser-

viceable by the operator inside!

Only with written consent from Thorlabs, changes to single components

may be carried out or components not supplied by Thorlabs may be

used.

This precision device is only transportable if duly packed into the com-

plete original packaging. If necessary, ask for a replacement package.

Refer servicing to qualified personnel!

Unpacking 5

2 Unpacking

Inspect the shipping container for damage.

If the shipping container seems to be damaged, keep it until you have in-

spected the contents and you have inspected the PM100D mechanically and

electrically.

Verify that you have received the following items within the hard-case:

1. PM100D power/energy meter console

2. 1GB SD memory card – installed in PM100D

3. Plug-In power supply with Interchangeable primary plug for USA, UK,

Europe, and Australia

4. USB cable, type ‘A’ to ‘mini-B’

5. Quick-start guide

6. USB memory stick with instrument drivers, user application and opera-

tion manual

7. Certificate of Calibration

3 Operating the PM100D

3.1 Preparation

Configure the plug-in power supply with the primary plug for your local power

supply.

Connect a suitable power or energy sensor. The sensors have a self-fixing

mechanism. To plug or unplug a sensor slightly press from both sides on the

pins in the connector housing.

Turn the unit on by pressing the power button in the side panel.

After switching on the unit, the graphics display will show the device status

and then jump to the last measurement screen before power down.

The PM100D is immediately ready to use after turning on.

3.3 Connecting a Power or Energy Sensor

The PM100D supports all Thorlabs ‘C-Series’ photodiode, thermal and pyroe-

lectric sensors. These can easily identified against older versions of Thorlabs

power or energy sensors by their red connector housing. The console will not

recognize sensors from the ‘A’ and ‘B’ series. Please contact Thorlabs for up-

grading of old sensors with ‘C-Series’ connectors.

To plug or remove a sensor slightly press the two bolts in the connector hous-

ing. Sensors can be ‘hot-swapped’ to the console, after recognizing a new

valid sensor the type and calibration data will be downloaded to the console

in approximately 2 seconds and the unit is ready to operate with the new sen-

sor.

3.4 Controlling the PM100D

3.4.1 Navigating the Menus

Each measurement screen contains eight soft buttons that are arranged in 2

rows in the bottom of the graphics display. These can be controlled by the

four navigation (), and the enter/edit (OK) key. An interactive help

text above describes shortly the function of each selected button.

The soft buttons may be configured with the following functions:

Operating the PM100D 9

System Settings

The following sub menus will appear:

- Measurement Settings

Remote state PM100D can be switched back to local mode

Line filter Sets the unit to the local line frequency

50Hz/60Hz to avoid aliasing effects

Default sensor Sets the PM100D in a mode to measure photo

current, thermal voltage or peak voltage from a

pyroelectric detector. See user manual.

- Console Settings

Language User interface language setting

Backlight Switches the LCD and key backlight on and off

(Same function as the key)

Brightness Sets the brightness of the LCD and key back-

light. The setting range is 0 – 100% in 1% in-

crements

LCD Contrast Adjusts the LCD contrast. The setting range is

0 – 100% in 1% increments

Sound Switches on and off the key and warning

sounds

Shutdown The unit automatically powers off in battery op-

eration after a certain time without user action.

This feature can be set to 10 minutes, 1 hour

or switched off; and is not active when an ex-

ternal power supply (AC adapter or USB) is

connected.

Firmware Upload Needs to be ‘enabled’ before uploading a new

firmware version. The function will automatical-

ly reset to ‘disabled’ when powering down.

- Date and Time Enters a submenu to set date and time. It is

possible to chose various date and time for-

mats.

- Console Info Shows the console related information.

- Sensor Info Shows the related information of the currently

connected power or energy sensor.

3.4.2 Power and Energy Measurement in the Numeric Display

The numeric display contains a large configurable measurement value, two

small sub displays for additional measurement information, and a bar-graph

that shows the saturation degree of the chosen measurement range. To con-

trol and configure the numeric display the soft buttons in the top level are ar-

ranged as following:

3.4.3.1 Range Control

Up to 6 power corresponding current and 4 power / energy corresponding

voltage ranges can be chosen manually with the or keys. For power

measurements an auto-ranging function is available.

3.4.3.2 Wavelength Correction

The menu offers 8 individually configurable sensor independent wavelength

settings.

To edit a wavelength keep the OK key pressed for 1 second. Set the desired

wavelength with the  keys.
