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

2 Getting Started
2.1 Unpacking
Inspect the shipping container for damage.
If the shipping container seems to be damaged, keep it until you have inspected
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 operation
manual
7. Certificate of Calibration
2.2 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.
