This part of the instruction manual contains every specific information on how to
handle and use the PMxxx Optical Power Meter system. A general description is
followed by explanations of how to operate the unit remotely via the serial RS232
connection.
Attention
This manual contains “WARNINGS” and “ATTENTION” label in this
form, to indicate danger for persons or possible damage of equip-
ment.
Please read these advises carefully!
NOTE
This manual also contains “NOTES” and “HINTS” written in this form.

1 Safety
Attention
All statements regarding safety of operation and technical data in
this instruction manual will only apply when the unit is operated
correctly.
Use only the power cord specified for the unit.
Do not operate the power meter if its panels are removed or any of
the interior circuitry is exposed
Do not operate the power meter in wet or damp conditions, or in an
explosive atmosphere.
Operate the power meter only within the specified voltage range
Do not apply voltage outside the specified range of the input connec-
tions
Do not operate the power meter if there are suspected failures. Refer
damaged units to qualified Thorlabs service personnel

PM100 / page 2
Attention
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commer-
cial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Standard shielding and filtering measures have to be undertaken to
avoid interferences with other electronic equipment!
NOTE
Please check prior to operation, if the line voltage range, indicated on the
power supply agrees with your local supply

2 Getting Started Quickly
This section is provided for those interested in getting the power meter up and
running quickly. The more detailed description and advanced features are described
in the following sections.
2.1 Setup
• Carefully unpack the console, optical head and accessories. If any of the items
are damaged, do not use the meter. Call Thorlabs and arrange for replace-
ment.
• Install the NiMH battery pack; therefore turn the unit, set the battery pack in its
socket and push it slightly in top direction of the meter, until it snaps in.
• The battery pack should be fully charged before using the unit. Plug in the AC
adapter into the jack on the bottom side of the console and allow the battery to
charge for a minimum of 2 hours. The unit cannot switch off, when the charger
is applied.
• Plug the DB9 connector of the optical head into the jack located on the top of
the console and secure the two screws.
• Power on the unit by shortly pressing the on/off button.
• Conduct sensor zero calibration. The following procedure is required when
attaching a new sensor
o Press the Enter key and toggle down to the Dark Current Adj./Zeroing
menu.
o Cover the sensor and follow the wizard
o The values will be stored for up to 5 different sensors
2.2 Keyboard Summary
ON/OFF
Shortly pressing this key will power up the unit. Pressing the key for
longer than 2 seconds will power down the unit. Per factory default a
changeable auto-shutdown time of 10 minutes is set.

Backlight
Pressing the backlight key will turn on or off the display backlight. To
preserve the batteries, the backlight will turn off after the time that is set
in the System\Backlight menu (factory default 5 seconds).
Wavelength Correction
Short pressing of this button allows to toggle between 5 preset wave-
lengths (photodiode heads only). These are dependent from sensor
type and serial number.
Pressing the button for longer than 2 seconds enters a screen where
each of the 5 correction wavelengths can be individually changed by
toggling the up, down, left and right buttons.
Display
This button enables to toggle between the different displays of visualiza-
tion of the measured power. These displays are power reading in mW,
analog needle, statistics screen, tuning graph and power reading in
dBm.
Range Selection
Pressing the range key shortly enables to change the display power
range in decades for the digital displays and in ‘half’ decades (3, 10) for
the quasi analog displays.
Pressing the range key shortly twice conducts one auto-ranging step to
automatically jump to the optimal range.
Automatic Zeroing Mode
The REL∆ can be used to automatically zero the display by subtracting
the current reading from the displayed value. The amount of offset is
displayed additionally. Bar-graph and analog needle display go in a mid-
position type of display. Pressing the key again turns off this mode.
Arrow Keys
The arrow keys are used to navigate through the menus as well as
navigating and adjusting the display soft keys.
Enter Key
The enter key is used to get into child menus and confirm user settings
