FieldSens

Product catalog summary
Overview: The FieldSens is a versatile signal conditioner designed for use with WLPI fiber optic sensors, suitable for measuring temperature, pressure, strain, and position. It utilizes White Light Polarization Interferometry (WLPI) technology to provide precise and absolute measurements of path length differences in interferometric sensors.
Key Features:
  • Available in tabletop and wall mount versions.
  • Supports up to 16 measurement channels with high linearity and precision.
  • Includes RS-232 and RS-485 serial output interfaces.
  • Features an LCD screen display (not available on the 32-channel model).
  • Capable of multi-point long-term and in-situ process monitoring.
  • Suitable for use in civil engineering, geotechnical, high voltage, EMI, RFI, microwave, nuclear, and hazardous environments.
Specifications:
  • Channel options: 4, 8, 12, or 16.
  • Full scale path length difference: 30,000 nm.
  • Resolution: ±0.003% of full scale.
  • Precision: ±0.01% of full scale at a 99.9% confidence level.
  • Standard sampling rate: 20 Hz.
  • Maximum channel scanning rate: 6.67 Hz.
  • Input power: 9 to 24 VDC with a typical consumption of 2.5 Watts.
  • Operating temperature range: 0°C to 45°C; storage temperature range: -40°C to 70°C.
  • Humidity tolerance: 95% non-condensing.
  • Light source lifespan: 40,000 hours MTBF.
Applications: The FieldSens is ideal for applications requiring precise measurements in challenging environments, including civil engineering, geotechnical monitoring, and environments with high electromagnetic interference.
