2. MOUNTING AND COOLING RECOMMENDATIONS

Important : Never touch directly the absorbing surface of the thermal disk

2.1. COOLING

The type of cooling (back cover, heat sink, fan, water) and the size of the cooling plate depend on the power applied on the thermal disk. Contact Gentec- EO to discuss your specific application.

Warning : The thermal disk temperature should never exceed 150 °C

2.2. COOLING PLATE

The thermal disk should be supported by the cooling plate only on the edge of the thermal disk. The cooling plate rim should be made out of a material with a high thermal conductivity. It should also be flat and smooth to allow a good thermal contact with the disk. There should be a gap of at least 6 mm between the back of the disk and any other surface.

  7. 2X MECHANICAL CONTACT AREAS FOR COOLING
    (BACK COVER, HEATSINK, FAN, WATER COOLING MODULE)

  8. FRONT ABSORBER FACE OF DISK

2.3. THERMAL DISK MOUNTING

Before mounting the thermal disk in place, a thin film of thermal paste (For example: Wakefield Engineering Inc. thermal paste part no. 120-2.) should be applied on the support rim. Put the disk in place and turn it gently so that a good thermal contact is made between the disk and the support rim. (Be careful not to damage the contact pins.) The thermal disk must be maintained in place from the front (do not apply thermal paste on the front of thermal disk).

2.4. LASER BEAM

The laser beam should always be centered with respect to the center of the thermal disk. The beam diameter should always be smaller than the optical aperture of the disk.

3. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3.1. GENERAL

To ensure a long lifetime of accurate measurements, the thermal disk should be maintained within the following ambient conditions:

Storage environment temperature: 10 to 60°C, RH < 90%
Operating environment temperature: 15 to 28ºC, RH < 80%.

WARNING: Be careful not to exceed the maximum levels and densities stated in the specifications.

It is possible to store and operate your thermal disk beyond this range. For any specific requirements, please contact your local Gentec-EO representative.

For the most accurate measurements, center the beam on the sensor.

3.2. DAMAGE TO THE OPTICAL ABSORBER MATERIAL

Damage to the optical absorber material is usually caused by exceeding the manufacturer’s specifications, such as:

– Incident Average Power Density
– Incident Pulse Energy Density

Refer to the specifications pages for the UD disk specifications. Damage may also be caused if the absorber surface is contaminated. A slight discoloration of the coating does not affect the calibration.

In any case, the beam’s incident area should not be less than 10% of the disk’s aperture. Please contact Gentec-EO to make measurements with such smaller beams.

In the event of significant damage to the coating, some UD Series disk can be recoated. Contact your local Gentec-EO representative for information on repair. See p. ii Contacting Gentec Electro-Optics Inc.
