SOLD


This is a spare Coherent 210 Laser Power Meter unit I've had around for a bit. I only have one 210 sensor head but the Coherent sensor heads from the surplus meter assemblies work just as good if not better. This one includes the sensor head from the surplus meter assembly, stand, connection cable, and the meter unit. It appears perfectly calibrated with all my other power meters and runs on two 9-volt batteries (included). Perhaps the only drawback is that it's an analog meter, making it difficult to resolve power below 5mW. This meter should be good for lasers up to 10 Watts and has selectable ranges for 0-300mW, 0-1W, 0-3W, 0-10W, and a zero offset control.

What's wrong with it? One of the plastic swivel bushings in the meter assembly has been replaced with something other than the stock bushing but it works just fine. Also, when the unit first turns on, the meter needle pegs to the left and sometimes sticks there, requiring a very light tap on the meter assembly to free it (my other 210 does this also).

This was the workhorse meter of the industry a few years ago. You don't see many of them for sale probably because they're still in use in many labs.

I'll start this off by asking $250.00 or make an offer.

Free shipping in the CONUS.

mmmmm I'm interested but a bit short on funds at the moment. After next Friday I'd be willing to offer $125 for it if you'd like.

Thanks but I'll decline.. That's a bit too low.

Re: FS: Coherent 210 Laser Power Meter

I'm vaguely interested. I would like a power meter for future DIY projects I'll be doing.

Plus, I'm not sure how many people here have a power meter in Australia. I think BlueFusion might have one... So it might be good for other Australians who want lasers tested, since the new import laws means most lasers will have to be DIY now... and of course it'll be too dangerous to send lasers internationally to test.

Re: FS: Coherent 210 Laser Power Meter

I know that everyone is holding out for a "cheap" power meter but there truly is NO SUCH THING. My meters were underpriced. now if I were to offer them up again they would be $250 the initial price I asked for mine. It just isn't feasable to get a laser power meter for less than $200 and have it a decent quality one.

I am interested knimrod as the scientech I just got with a sensor is not accurate and needs to be calibrated and that's something (even though it says in the directions how to do it) I cannot do. Would you be interested in trading for a Scientech 373 with a a sensor??

You hit it on the head.. The surplus sensor heads from Ebay were a gift at the price we got them for when they were available.

As much as I would like to help you out with this Kenom, I just can't use another one... I have more power meters than I know what to do with now. That's why I'm letting this one go...
