1. FLASH SERIES HANDHELD LASER PROBE
1.1 Introduction
The Gentec-EO Flash Series Handheld laser probe family includes the Flash-500-55, the Flash-500-
10S-IPL, the Flash-500-20R5-IPL, the Flash-3K-55, the Flash-6K-55 and the Flash-10K-55.
-
The Flash-500-55 detector has dimensions of 88 mm x 35 mm x 335 mm and an
aperture of 55 mm.
-
The Flash-500-10S-IPL detector has dimensions of 88 mm x 35 mm x 335 mm and an
aperture of 10X10 mm.
-
The Flash-500-20R5-IPL detector has dimensions of 88 mm x 35 mm x 335 mm and
an aperture of 20X5 mm.
-
The Flash-3K-55 detector has dimensions of 88 mm x 45 mm x 335 mm and an
aperture of 55 mm.
-
The Flash-6K-55 detector has dimensions of 88 mm x 36 mm x 335 mm and an
aperture of 55 mm.
-
The Flash-10K-55 detector has dimensions of 88 mm x 46 mm x 335 mm and an
aperture of 55 mm.
-
The high power surface absorber sensors are designed for use at high average power
densities.
The Flash detectors can measure between
-
±0.1 W (noise equivalent power) and 500 W of average power for Flash-500-55
±0.5 J (noise equivalent energy) and 350 J of energy for the Flash-500-10S-IPL,
Flash-500-20R5-IPL or FLASH-500-55 in energy mode
-
±5 W (noise equivalent power) and 3000 W of average power for Flash-3K-55
-
±20 W (noise equivalent power) and 6000 W of average power for Flash-6K-55
-
±30 W (noise equivalent power) and 10000 W of average power for Flash-10K-55
Flash detectors can be supplied with a stand (optional).
For cases where the Flash detector doesn’t have an ajustement or a calibration at a specific
wavelength in one of the three pre-
set modes(CO2, YAG, Other), you can use your ‘’Wavelength
Correction Factor
‘’ to adjust the power you read to a power corrected for a particular wavelength with
the detector self-calibration function.
Call your nearest Gentec-EO distributor to repair and/or to recalibrate the Flash. For Gentec-
