2.4 Connector Description
1- EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY INPUT JACK.
Input voltage required: 9 VDC/100 mA. The external power supply does not charge the
batteries; it allows the use of the monitor without batteries, with dead batteries or simply
to avoid discharging the batteries inside the monitor.
CAUTION
Permanent damage to the optical meter may occur if an external
power supply other than the Gentec-EO P/N 200960A is used.
Please call Gentec-EO or your local distributor if extra power
supplies are needed.
2- PROBE INPUT JACK.
The UNO uses a DB-15 female connector to mate with the detector heads (probes).
The UNO works with all Gentec-EO power detectors currently sold. It automatically
recognizes every power detector head, which ensures accurate auto-calibration. More
importantly, it can take advantage of our Personal wavelength correction
™. It reads the
memory in the Smart Interface connector to provide a wavelength correction that is
based on spectral data measured from that specific detector.

This section contains important information concerning the installation and operation of the UNO. The
UNO is delivered ready to use. Just install the 4 AA batteries, insert a detector head in the Probe
Input Jack (#2 in Figure 1-2) and press the I/O key.
4.1 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.
3- Turn the UNO off and connect a power detector head to the UNO using the PROBE INPUT
JACK (see Fig. 1-2). It is recommended to turn the UNO off before connecting a new head in
order to prevent any loss of information from the detector head’s EEPROM.
