SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not use the TPM-300-CE if the device or the detector look damaged, or if you suspect that the TPM-
300-CE is not operating properly.
Appropriate installation must be done for water cooled and air-force cooled detectors. Refer to the
instruction manual for more informations. User should wait for a while before any manipulation of these
detectors after application of power. ( High temperature of some surfaces of these detectors after use
may cause injury if not well cooled-down.)
Note: This equipement has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipement generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipement does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipement off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved in writing by GENTEC Inc. may void
the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

1 INTRODUCTION
The TPM-300-CE is the highest quality Laser Power Meter available on the market. In order to obtain the
maximum performance from the TPM-300-CE, it is preferable to read the following manual carefully.
The TPM-300-CE has been specially designed for laser maintenance applications and laser power spot
checks, but its characteristics make it useful for general laser beam power and measurement
applications.
Each GENTEC TPM-300-CE is thoroughly tested and calibrated prior to shipment.
All TPM-300-CE units should be visually inspected after removal from the shipping containers. Should
any damage be found, retain all packaging materials and shipping receipts. Any damage claim should be
made promptly with the transportation company. Notify the nearest GENTEC representative concerning
the claim, so that any repair or replacement can be arranged within the shortest delay.

2 THE TPM-300-CE DIGITAL POWER METER
2.1 Introduction
The TPM-300-CE is a digital/analog power meter designed to be used with any of the new PS
Series detector heads (see section 3.1 for further details). No calibration is required when
connecting the detector heads. The TPM-300-CE is already internally set to accept all the PS
Series detector heads.
The TPM-300-CE is a reliable, accurate, simple and easily transportable meter engineered
according to the most recent optimal operation technology.
The following specifications are based on a one-year calibration cycle, an operating temperature
of 18 to 28ºC (64 to 82ºF) and a relative humidity not exceeding 80%.
The RS-232 output is designed to work with a standard shielded DB-9 cable for serial
communication.
