Calibration Using Electric Substitution Heating

The electric substitution heating option must be ordered and installed at the factory when the calorimeter is

purchased. It can not be retrofitted to a calorimeter at a later time. To calibrate using electric substitution

heating proceed as follows.

1 Remove the screws holding the calorimeter’s ID tag and remove the plate to expose the circuit board.

2 Connect the calorimeter to the indicator, turn the power on and let the system equilibrate.

3 Connect theDVM to the test points labeled SUB and HTR on the calorimeter circuit board.

4 Measure the resistance of the substitution heater making sure to subtract the resistance of the patch

cables from the total resistance measurement. Compare this resistance to R

in the calibration data in front

of the manual. The two should agree within 2%. If not contact Scientech.

5 Remove the DVM. Connect a power supply to the SUB and HTR test points and connect the DVM to

monitor the power supply.

6 Set up the indicator in Watts Mode and 10 range for 25mm calorimeters or 3 range for 50mm

calorimeters.

7 Apply V

volts in the stated calibration data, to the substitution heater.

8 Adjust the calibration trim pot, R4 on the calorimeter board, until W

Watts, from the calibration data, is

displayed on the indicator.

Operation of Astral Calorimeters with a Digital Volt Meter

Astral calorimeters are powered up by the indicator. To use the calorimeter with a digital volt meter or chart

recorder as a read out, you must apply +/- 8 VDC to the calorimeters connector on pins 5 & 4 as show in Fig.

3. The voltage output of the calorimeter is available on pins 6 and 8 as shown below.

* Connect the output of the calorimeter to the DVM using the adaptor cable.

* Select the DC volts mode.

* Direct the laser beam on to the absorbing surface of the calorimeter.

* When the display of the DVM has stabilized (about 1 1/2 minutes), calculate the laser power using

the formula:

W=V/S

where:

W=Laser power in watts

V=Voltage reading of the DVM in mV

S=Sensitivity of the calorimeter which is

0.5 V/W for 25 mm calorimeters and

0.167 V/W for the 50 mm calorimeters.
