The Ultra detector selected needs to be the appropriate model for the planned laser measurements. Please
familiarize yourself with the operating specifications which are given in the front of this manual.
Note: The default Group Setting for Ultra Detectors is Group #4. Either select Group #4 or
configure another Group for Ultra Detectors and select that Group.
1. To Turn On the Meter:
Note: For the most accurate measurements possible, the S310 should be turned on and warmed
up for 30 minutes.
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 chose the Group setting for the detector you are connecting to the
S310 as described in step 4. The Group Setting for each detector purchased with your S310 is shown on page 2.
2. To 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 the RANGE button down. Then release after the
meter appears or disappears.
3. To 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 an Ultra detector.
4. To Connect an Ultra Detector:
Note: Only one detector should be plugged in at any time.
Refer to the drawing of the S310 rear panel in Figure 2. A 3 meter mini-DIN type cable with "D" shaped
connectors comes with Ultra detectors. One of input jacks on the rear panel of the S310 is labeled "Ultra" for
hook up of the Ultra detectors. Note that the flat side of the DIN type cables should be oriented up when
plugging in to the S310.
5. To Select a Group:
A. Press the SETUP button. The Group Setting last used will appear in the display.
B. To move to the next Group, press SETUP button again.
C. To select the appropriate Group, press the SELECT button when the Group you desire appears in the
display (failure to press the SELECT button within 3 seconds will activate the Group shown in the
display and return the S310 to its operational state).
6. To Select a Range:
The S310 has only one range (150.0) when used with the Ultra detector.
7. To Select a Mode:
The S310 has only one mode (watts) when used with the Ultra detector and will display the average power of
repetitively pulsed lasers or continuous wave lasers.
8. To Measure Average Power (W):
Place the beam on the absorbing surface of your Ultra detector and the display will read in watts.
