2. To Turn the Analog Needle On or Off (does not apply to the S310D):
To turn the analog meter on or off, press and keep holding the RANGE button down. Then release after the
meter appears or disappears.
3. To Zero the Analog Needle (does not apply to the S310D):
Refer to Figure 3. The black slotted button located just below the display allows screwdriver adjustment to set
the analog needle to zero. This adjustment should be made before connecting a calorimeter.
4. To Connect a Calorimeter:
Note: Only one detector should be plugged in at any time.
Refer to the drawing of the S310 rear panel in Figure 2. A 3 meter mini-DIN type cable with "D" shaped
connectors comes with Astral calorimeters. For large aperture calorimeters, the interconnect cables for both the
calorimeter and indicator are hardwired to the interface module. One of input connectors on the rear panel of
the S310 is labeled "Astral" for hook up of the Astral and Large Aperture calorimeters. Note that the flat side of
the DIN type cables should be oriented up when plugging in to the S310.
5. 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 the appropriate 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).
6. To Select a Range:
Note: AUTO range is not available in the energy mode for calorimeters
A. Press the RANGE button. 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.
B. To select a range, 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 operational state). The ranges available for calorimeters are in the following table:

* With a PN10748 – 10X attenuator, the actual power or energy is 10 times the displayed value up to 50 W or
150J.
** With a PN10769 – 10X attenuator, the actual power or energy is 10 times the displayed value up to 100 W or
300 J.
Note: When using PN10748 or PN10769, 10X attenuators, you may want to use an attenuation factor of
10 so the displayed reading on the S310 is correct. However the range designation may be
incorrect if the power or energy reading exceeds the upper limit of the range. See the Group
Settings section for details.
