TUNER User’s Manual 1 1.1 Revision 4.2 5 THE TUNER SINGLE CHANNEL LASER POWER METER Introduction To obtain full performance from the TUNER, we recommend that you read this manual carefully. The TUNER is a numerical and digital needle LCD display laser power monitor that features outstanding efficiency, ease of use and long battery life. Unpacking Each Gentec-EO TUNER is thoroughly tested and calibrated prior to shipment. Visually inspect every TUNER unit after removing it from the shipping containers.
TUNER User’s Manual 1.2 Revision 4.2 6 Specifications The following specifications are based on a one-year calibration cycle, an operating temperature of 18 to 28ºC (64 to 82ºF) and a relative humidity not exceeding 80%.

Backlight status is memorized by the TUNER.
TUNER User’s Manual Revision 4.2 8 Press this key for at least 2 seconds for zeroing. This cancels electronic offset, detector offset and ambient light on the detector. The TUNER should be zeroed before taking measurements. Refer to p.11, adjusting the zero (steps 8 to 11). The TUNER will redo the zero every time you press the zero button for two seconds, reboot the TUNER if you wish to remove the zero cancellation.
TUNER User’s Manual 7- Revision 4.2 9 Digital low / W/dBm Control Keys Displays the maximum recorded values. To return to measurement display mode, press the key again. The dBm function is available by pressing more than 2 seconds on the Digital-Low control key. The Tuner will convert the displayed number in dBm (dB referenced to 1mW) and will display “dBm” message unit and then no units. To get back to the previous display in Watt, press again more than 2 seconds on the Zero control key.
TUNER User’s Manual Revision 4.2 10 For example: 0.25 V corresponds to 2.5 Watts on the 10 W range 0.10 V corresponds to 30 milliwatts on the 300 mW range Specifications: Maximum output voltage: Output impedance: Connector type: 3- 1V 2.5 k Female 1/8” jack PROBE INPUT JACK. The TUNER uses a DB-15 female connector to mate with the detector heads (probes). The TUNER works with all Gentec-EO thermal power detectors currently sold.
TUNER User’s Manual Revision 4.2 11 Fig. 1-4 Needle Display in Tail mode Fig. 1-5 Needle Display in Bar Graph mode When the batteries are discharged enough to compromise the measurement, the TUNER displays “LO BATT” instead of the measurement. Refer to section 3 to replace the batteries. If the voltage supplied by the external power supply is lower than 7 Volts, the TUNER displays “LO JACK”. If no detector head is connected when the TUNER is powered on, the message “No Detector” will be displayed.
TUNER User’s Manual 2 Revision 4.2 12 Getting Started This section contains important information concerning the installation and operation of the TUNER. The TUNER is delivered ready to use. Just install the 4 AA batteries, insert a compatible detector head in the Probe Input Jack (#3 in Figure 1-2) and press the I/O key. 2.1 Power measurement procedure 1- Install the power detector on its optical stand. 2- First, slide the connector latch to the right to unlock the connector.
TUNER User’s Manual Revision 4.2 13 3 BATTERIES 3.1 Battery selection To avoid leakage and poor autonomy, it is highly recommended that only good quality, new and identical alkaline batteries be put into the TUNER. Good quality rechargeable batteries can also be used with the TUNER and recharged with an external charger. The batteries need to be replaced if the TUNER displays “LO Batt” on its digital display or if it does not power-up when the I/O control key is pressed. 3.
