2.3 Operating Instruction
PM10 / page 5
OFF/Gain Switch
Switches the unit on and sets the gain to multiply the
voltage from the thermal sensor by a factor of 100 or 1000.

Probe Zero Adjust
Is used to compensate ambient thermal effects by adjusting
the meter to zero.
The adjusting range is about +/- 25 % of each power range.
Low Battery Indicator
The red LED lights up when the battery voltage gets under
a level where the measurement gets influenced. When the
LED is flashing it is time to replace the battery.
DB9 Sensor Jack
Accepts all Thorlabs S2xxA series detectors.
Analog Output
These two banana connectors output a voltage from 0.0 to
2.0V corresponding to the gain setting.
2.3 Operating Instruction
1. Connect the Thermal Sensor
Plug the DB-9 connector of the optical head into the jack located on the side of
the box and secure the two screws.
2. Connect the PM10 to a DVM
Plug the PM10 box into the voltage inputs of a DVM.
3. Switch on the PM10
Switch from the off position to the desired gain setting (x100, x1000)
