PN 10795T 7
QUICK SETUP
Note: For detailed instructions for each type of detector, refer to the Operating Procedures section.
1. Turn On the Meter:
Note: For the most accurate measurements possible, the H410 should be turned on and warmed up for 30
minutes.
Slide the ON/OFF switch, located on the upper right side of the H410, to the ON position. The power
meter will immediately turn on in the operational state last used. If you purchased the H410 with one
detector, this detector’s operating parameters will be in the power meter’s memory and you are ready to
take measurements.
If you purchased more than one detector with the H410, you must make sure the operating parameters for
the detector you plan to use are in the power meter’s memory. For detailed instructions please refer to the
Operating Procedure section for that type of detector.
2. Turn the Analog Needle On or Off (does not apply to the H410D)
To turn the analog meter on or off, press and keep holding down the ON/SELECT button. Then release
the button after the meter appears or disappears.
3. Zero the Analog Needle (does not apply to the H410D)
Refer to Figure 1. The black slotted button located just below the display allows screwdriver adjustment
to set the analog needle to zero. This adjustment should be made before connecting the detector.
4. Connect a Detector
Note: Only one detector should be plugged in at any time.
Refer to Figure 1. Slide the CAL/PYRO switch, located on the upper left side of the H410, into the CAL
(up) position for use with Vector calorimeters and photodiode detectors or into the PYRO (down) position
for use with Vector pyroelectric detectors.
A 3 meter mini-DIN type cable with "D" shaped connectors comes with Vector and Large Aperture
calorimeters and Scientech photodiode detectors. A 3 meter BNC type cable comes with Vector
pyroelectric detectors. Plug in the detector’s cable into the appropriate connector on the H410. Detectors
have a 1/2" diameter mounting post hole for installing a detector post. Mounting bases and posts are
available at Scientech to attach the detector to a working surface.
