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 H410 should be turned on and warmed
up for 30 minutes.
Slide the ON/OFF switch, located on the upper right side of the H410, to the ON position. The indicator will
immediately turn on in the operational state last used. If you purchased the H410 with one detector, this
detector’s operating parameters will be in the indicator’s memory and you are ready to take measurements.
If you purchased more than one detector with the H410, you must make sure the operating parameters for the
detector you plan to use are in the indicator’s memory. For detailed instructions please refer to the Operating
Procedure section for that type of detector.
2. Turn the Analog Needle On or Off (does not apply to the H410D):
To turn the analog meter on or off, press and keep holding down the ON/SELECT button. Then release the
button after the meter appears or disappears.
3. Zero the Analog Needle (does not apply to the H410D):
Refer to Figure 2. 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 Figure 2. Slide the CAL/PYRO switch, located on the upper left side of the H410, into the CAL (up)
position for use with Astral and Large Aperture calorimeters and Astral photodiode detectors or into the PYRO
(down) position for use with Vector pyroelectric detectors.
A 3 meter mini-DIN type cable with "D" shaped connectors comes with Astral and Large Aperture calorimeters
and Astral photodiode detectors. A 3 meter BNC type cable comes with Vector pyroelectric detectors. Plug in
the detector’s cable into the appropriate connector on the H410. 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.
5. Select a Range:
Press the RANGE button, the analog scale (if active) will disappear, then the H410 will begin cycling through
the ranges available for the detector you have connected. Press the ON/SELECT button when the range you
desire appears in the display.
6. Select a Mode:
The MODE button allows selection of the type of measurement to be made (watts, joules, etc). The different
modes available are:
When configured for a pyroelectric detector: Energy (J), Avg. Energy (J AVG), Power (W), Configuration
(CAL) and Time Out (tO).
When configured for a calorimeter: Energy (J), Power (W), Configuration (CAL), Time Out (tO) and
Calorimeter Delay (cd).
When configured for a photodiode detector: Power (W), Configuration (CAL) and Attenuation (ATTN).
