Just trying to figure out when to place an order...

Jerry

I would like to have the pro versions in stock and able to ship out the moment an order is placed. At least that's what I'm working towards. At this time, they are only going to be available on a order basis. As to how many are available, I have a total of 90 thermopiles to build into meters.

For those that ordered the Lite versions, this will be an open ended offer as I have taken so long to assemble and ship these meters. Just my way of saying I'm sorry and I value you all as customers.

Hi. Ken.

How's your new environment?

Did you finished the LITE version?
I'd like to know when is my turn and when to ship my order.
This is the first time to have my LPM, so waiting near 2 months is somewhat painful...

Thank you.

I completely understand. I'm assembling them now.

So the people who ordered the Lite will have the option to send it back with $200 for the pro upgrade at any time?

I've been wondering why this thread is titled *closed*, yet people have continued to post here daily. Just a note.

I'm looking forward to the new USB model!

Because Kenom's moment-of-insanity meter deal ended (closed).

Hey Kenom--whats the word??? I just got a 200mW green module for review and my meter does not go that high-SPER pocket lpm-Will I be able to measure it with the Ken-o-Lite(s)?--soon? plz let me know --thanks --HZ

Kenom · 02-06-2010, 03:38 PM

my radio shack has not had any plastic enclosures in stock for the last 3 weeks. I have ordered some and am waiting for them to arrive. Other than that, all the components are assembled and waiting to go into the boxes.

lasersbee · 02-06-2010, 07:38 PM

DigiKey.... next day delivery... Just a heads-up..

Jerry

Kenom · 02-07-2010, 04:40 PM

I have a hard time finding the right enclosure on digikey. Needless to say I took a road trip to go visit SightFX and stopped at his radio shack and have a few enclosures to finish a few of these. Meanwhile, I've ordered already teh enclosures I needed and they should be here soon.

Kenom · 02-12-2010, 05:55 AM

Could everyone that purchased one of these meters from me send me an pm detailing exactly what it was that you got. I had so many after the order requests that I'm having a hard time figuring out what is what. Any special requests. I will spend all day tomorrow building all of these and I need to know what special work needs to be done.

Thanks for everyone's patience.

I will also be going back through my paypal history and sending everyone an email as well. I want to get this all done tomorrow and I know you are all anxious to get your meters. Again I apologize for the delays.

Hey Kenom...
Got mine just after Xmas... all is fine except for the mechanical
assembly problems I PMed you about... We can get to that
after your assembly rush...

BTW... I'm re-enclosing one of them into a LaserBee I enclosure...

Ok here is a spreadsheet of everything that those that have pm'd me so far have indicated. This can be used to keep track of status on the builds as well. Currently I've got 2 built and ready to ship.

Could I get an aluminum enclosure on mine?

Edit: Nevermind, I'll stay with the plastic enclosure.

I just checked the spreadsheet....

I was under the impression that the Lite model did not/could not
have a Zero Offset... (mine don't)..
Did I miss something...

If there is a way of adding the Zero Offset to the Lite version...
could I get the info to modify my Lites...

Jerry

lazer · 02-13-2010, 01:47 PM

What's zero offset?

lasersbee · 02-13-2010, 01:58 PM

The Kenometer Lites that I have do not stabilize at an exactly Zero
reading (without a Laser beam on the Sensor)... depending on the
differential temperature between the sensor surface and the sensor
heatsink...
So ii your reading is.. let's say 3mW with out a beam and 127mW
with the Laser's beam on the sensor then the actual power of your
Laser is 127-3=124mW...

With a Zero Offset circuit you can re-zero the "3mW" reading back
to Zero before taking a reading of your Laser...

But I'm not sur if this is possible with the Kenometer Lite...
Waiting for info from Kenom...

Jerry

lazer · 02-13-2010, 02:55 PM

I thought the kenometer did have zero offset. Do they kenom?

Kenom · 02-13-2010, 04:02 PM

the Kenometer Lite did not stock come with a Zero offset since the price was so low. It is a simple matter of adding a potentiometer with a few resistors on the output to offset the reading down to Zero. Unless you pay for the upgrade (takes me more time to build and for parts) the Zero offset is not included.

If you would like to find out how to do the offset so that you can do it yourself, I would be happy to provide the information.

Also, if you would like your meter shipped with the aluminum enclosure, I will be more than happy to send the enclosure and you can do the cutouts and modification to the enclosure to make the meter fit. Lazer has agreed that I will assemble the electronics portion and ship the enclosure unmodified and he will mount the electronics into the enclosure. This saves me the work of having to modify an enclosure that I wouldn't have ordinarily used for the meters but he wanted. It also means his meter will ship a little sooner since I don't need to do the modification to the enclosure.

Here is a picture of what it would look like assembled.

and the enclosure bare

Kenom · 02-13-2010, 04:23 PM

and here is the meters that are built thus far.

don't even ask for the top one's enclosure. That was too small and had to have waaay too much modification done to it to make it fit..... soo much so, that the front left side doesn't even have a screw holding it closed... Had to cut the screw recepticle off in order to fit the head inside.
