Version 2.2 1 1. HP SERIES POWER DETECTORS 1.1. INTRODUCTION The Gentec-EO HP Series power detector family includes HP100A-3KW-HE, HP100A-4KW-HE, HP60A-10KW-GD and HP100A-12KW-HD. - The HP100A-3KW-HE detector has dimensions of 127 mm x 127 mm and an aperture of 100 mm. The HP100A-4KW-HE detector has dimensions of 127 mm x 127 mm and an aperture of 100 mm. The HP60A-10kW-GD detector has dimensions of 127 mm x 127 mm and an aperture of 60 mm.
Version 2.2 2 1.2. POWER DETECTOR CONNECTORS 1.2.1. DB-15 “intelligent” connector The DB-15 male "intelligent" connector contains an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) with different information related to the HP Series detector head in use: detector model, calibration sensitivity, applicable scales and wavelength correction factor for up to 20 wavelengths.
Version 2.2 3 1.2.2. USB connector The USB connector allows using the HP on a PC. The PC interface, PC-HP, features statistical calculation, graphics displays and data logging options. It also gives real time measurement of the cooling flow rate and temperature. A standard USB cable of 5 meters is supplied with the HP. If a longer cable is required, please contact Gentec-EO for more information.

Version 2.2 6 2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - In order to ensure a long lifetime of accurate measurements, it is recommended that HP is held within the following ambient conditions: - Storage environment temperature: 10 to 65°C, RH < 90% Operating environment temperature: 15 to 28ºC, RH < 80%. It is possible to store and operate your Gentec-EO UP wattmeter beyond this range. For any specific requirement, please contact your local Gentec-EO representative.
Version 2.2 7 WARNING: Be careful not to exceed the maximum levels and densities stated in the specifications, refer to section 4, Damage to the optical absorber material, for detailed informations. Strong fluctuations in the zero level are usually caused by one of the following : 1) Rapid fluctuations in water temperature. 2) Rapid fluctuations in the water flow rate.
Version 2.2 8 - The measured power is calculated as follows: Measured power [W] = (output voltage [V] - zero level voltage [V]) / sensitivity [V/W] = 1000 x (Vout [mV] - Vzero level [mV]) / sensitivity [mV/W] 2.2 WITH PC-HP This section describes in detail the first group of menus essential to the PC-HP operation. The display menu lets you view the status and your measurement in various ways. Use the settings menu during setup to set the best parameters for the measurement task at hand.
Version 2.2 9 2.2.1 PC-HP Warnings The PC Interface show cooling water status in real time. The flow rate and temperature are shown in black fonts in normal conditions (FIG 2.2 A). If the water temperature is not stable a message will appear (FIG 2.2 B). If the flow rate (FIG 2.3 A) or temperature (FIG 2.3 B) are too high or low the fonts will change to red as a warning that the measurements will be affected. FIG. 2-2 A & B PC-HP INTERFACE WARNINGS FIG.
Version 2.2 10 2.2.2 PC-HP Shortcut Buttons To access certain features with a single click instead of having to enter the menus, PC-HP has 8 shortcut buttons on its main window. From left to right, those buttons access: Zero Offset, Display - Histogram, Display - Tuning Needle, Display - Statistics, Display - Status, Settings Data Sampling, Ctrl - Communication - Connect, Ctrl - Communication-Disconnect. FIG. 2-4 PC-HP SHORTCUT BUTTONS 2.2.2.
Version 2.2 11 2.2.3.1 Display - Histogram FIG. 2-6 PC-HP HISTOGRAM Right-click on the histogram to set the time period to view(Set X Axis…), reset the display or select a scale. Note that the Auto-Scale on the histogram starts from the lowest scale and only does scale-ups. This is made to select the best scale for the user without frequent scale oscillations. 2.2.3.2 Display - Tuning Needle FIG. 2-7 PC-HP TUNING NEEDLE (TWO OPTIONS) Right-click on the Tuning Needle to select a scale.
Version 2.2 12 2.2.3.3 Display - Status FIG. 2-9 PC-HP SETTINGS WINDOW The Settings window displays various settings. 2.2.3.3.1 Status - Wavelength Use The Wavelength menu to select the power wavelength at which the detector is to be used. It applies a correction to adjust for the variation in responsivity at different wavelengths. When a new thermal detector is plugged in, the calibration wavelength is the default selection. PC-HP only allows you to choose values that fall within the detector’s range.
Version 2.2 13 2.2.4 Display - Statistics The statistics window displays the current statistics. See section 2.2.5.1 to set the data sampling parameters. See section 2.2.6.3 to learn how to start and stop the statistics. FIG. 2-10 PC-HP STATISTICS WINDOW Table 2.
Version 2.2 14 2.2.5 Settings menu FIG. 2-11 PC-HP SETTINGS MENU Items in the Settings menu define user-adjustable parameters. 2.2.5.1 Data Sampling The Data Sampling parameters are used for calculating the statistics(see section 2.2.4) and for data acquisition(see section 2.2.6.2). PC-HP uses default sampling parameters unless you set them yourself. You can set PC-HP either to calculate the statistics for a single sample and stop or to repeat continuously. Take data for a few seconds or a few weeks.
Version 2.2 15 Table 2.2 Data Sampling Parameters Parameter Choices Sample Rate 10Hz to 1 per hour Sample Period Integer 1 to 1000000000 Sample period units Second, Minute Hour, Day, Week Total Duration Integer 1 to 1000000000 Total Duration units Continuous Periods Time Stamp Yes No 2.2.5.2 Description Sets the number of points (measurements) per second: 10 per second, 1 per second, 1 per 10 seconds, 1 per minute, 1 per 10 minutes, 1 per hour. The time over which samples are to be averaged.
Version 2.2 16 2.2.6.1 Ctrl - Communication The communication item is mostly used to Connect to the HP after starting PC-HP. To use the COM port for another application without closing PC-HP, click Ctrl / Communication / Disconnect. 2.2.6.2 Ctrl - Acquire Data This item is used to save raw data (only), statistics (only), or both raw data and statistics in an output file. When you select Start Saving Raw Data, a dialog box appears. Type in the filename that you choose, then select save.
Version 2.2 17 2.2.10 Serial commands The HP Series are automatically sending data through serial port at 9.5 Hz (push mode). There is no need to ask for readings.

Version 2.2 19 3 SAFETY OPERATION NOTES 3.1.1 Diffusive surfaces When using the HP be aware of the diffused back reflection ~ 10-15%. As on any diffusive surface, the light on the sensor coating is scattered more or less uniformly as a Lambertian diffuser. 3.1.2 Detector temperature Detectors can become hot enough during usage to cause burns. 4 DAMAGE TO THE OPTICAL ABSORBER MATERIAL The HP series are high power meters that can measure up to 12KW.
