5. Select a Range:
On the first press of the RANGE button, the analog scale (if active) will disappear. Then briefly press the
RANGE button each time another range is desired. Press the SELECT button when the range you desire
appears in the display (failure to press the SELECT button within 3 seconds will activate the range shown in the
display and return the S310 to its operation state).
6. Select a Mode:
The MODE button allows selection of the type of measurement to be made (watts, joules, etc). It also gives
access to the scientific notation unit of measure. The different measurement modes available are:
When configured for a pyroelectric detector: Energy (J), Avg. Energy (J AVG), Power (W AVG), and Volts
(V).
When configured for a calorimeter: Power (W AVG), Energy (J).
When configured for Ultra detector: Power (W) only.
Briefly press the MODE button each time a different mode setting is wanted. Press the SELECT button when
the mode you desire appears in the display (failure to press the SELECT button within 3 seconds will activate
the mode shown in the display and return the S310 to its operation state).
To select the scientific notation annunciator, press and hold down the MODE button and only release when the
annunciator appears. To exit the scientific notation mode, press and hold down the MODE button again.
7. Zero the Display (only for calorimeters with Watts mode selected):
Press the CANCEL button to zero the display when using a calorimeter in watts mode.
8. Take your measurement:
Direct the laser beam onto the absorbing surface of the detector.

:
The operating parameters for the detectors used with the S310 indicator must be stored in the indicator’s
memory. This information is stored in Group Settings. The typical configuration of the Group Settings is as
follows:
Group #1 – Astral Calorimeters or Large Aperture Calorimeters
Group #2 – Vector Pyroelectric Detectors
Group #3 – Vector HR Pyroelectric Detectors
Group #4 – Ultra Calorimeters
However, the Group Settings may be configured differently depending on what detectors are used with the
indicator. The operating parameters and group number for the detectors purchased with the S310 Indicator are
recorded on page 2 of this manual.
1. To Select a Group:
A. Press the SETUP button. The Group Setting last used will appear in the display.
B. To move to the next Group, press SETUP button again.
C. To select a Group, press the SELECT button when the Group you desire appears in the display (failure
to press the SELECT button within 3 seconds will activate the Group shown in the display and return the
S310 to its operational state).
