Note: For detailed instructions for each type of detector, refer to the Operating Procedures
section.
1. Turn On the Meter:
Note: For the most accurate measurements possible, the S310 should be turned on and warmed
up for 30 minutes.
Note: For information on Group Settings, refer to the Group Settings section.
Press the ON switch located in the rear panel of the meter. The S310 will immediately turn on with its
operational state based on the last used detector Group Setting. If you purchased the S310 with one detector,
this detector’s Group settings will be active and you are ready to take measurements.
If you purchased more than one detector with the S310, you must choose the Group setting for the detector you
are connecting to the S310 in step 4. The Group Setting for each detector purchased with your S310 is shown
on page 2. To select a Group Setting, press the SETUP button repeatedly until the desire Group number
appears in the display. Wait 3 seconds and that Group will be automatically selected and made active.
2. Turn the Analog Needle On or Off (does not apply to the S310D):
To turn the analog meter on or off, press and keep holding down the RANGE button. Then release the button
after the meter appears or disappears.
3. Zero the Analog Needle (does not apply to the S310D):
Refer to Figure 3. The black slotted button located just below the display allows screwdriver adjustment to set
the analog needle to zero. This adjustment should be made before connecting the detector.

4. Connect a Detector:
Note: Only one detector should be plugged in at any time.
Refer to the drawing of the S310 rear panel in Figure 1. A 3 meter mini-DIN type cable with "D" shaped
connectors comes with Astral, Large Aperture and Ultra calorimeters. A 3 meter BNC type cable comes with
Vector pyroelectric detectors and Vector HR pyroelectric detectors. The input jacks on the rear panel of the
S310 are labeled "Ultra", "Vector", and "Astral (including large aperture calorimeters)" for hook up of these
three types of detectors. Note that the flat side of the DIN type cables should be oriented up when plugging into
the S310. Also included with each detector is a 1/2" diameter mounting post for installing the detector to your
working surface. An optional mounting base, Scientech Model 301-019, is also available for holding the
detector/post assembly upright.
