5. Select a Range
Press the RANGE button, the analog scale (if active) will disappear, then the H410 will begin cycling
through the ranges available for the detector you have connected. Press the ON/SELECT button when
the range you desire appears in the display.
6. Select a Mode
The MODE button allows selection of the type of measurement to be made (watts, joules, etc). The
different modes available are:
When configured for a pyroelectric detector: Energy (J), Avg. Energy (J AVG), Power (W),
Configuration (CAL) and Time Out (tO).
When configured for a calorimeter: Energy (J), Power (W), Configuration (CAL), Time Out (tO) and
Calorimeter Delay (cd).
When configured for a photodiode detector: Power (W), Configuration (CAL) and Attenuation (ATTN).
The preceding list of modes in bold type represents the measurement modes of the H410. These modes
are discussed in this Quick Setup section. The modes in normal type allow you to customize the H410’s
set up for different detectors and are discussed in detail in the Operating Procedure section for each
detector.
Press the MODE button to start the menu cycle. Press the ON/SELECT button when the measurement
mode you desire appears in the display.
7. Zero the display
If you have chosen the calorimeter Power (W) mode or are using a photodiode detector you must zero the
display by pressing the CANCEL button before any measurements are taken. It is not necessary to zero
the display in any other mode of operation, but if you choose to do so no errors will be introduced.
8. Take your measurement
Direct the laser beam onto the absorbing surface of the detector.
