Fiber-optic amplifiers and synthetic fibers

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Fiber-optic solutions enhance the sensing capabilities of photo sensors in challenging environments. They are non-electrical, making them ideal for areas with explosion risks or strong electromagnetic fields. These fibers can detect small objects and function as through-beam and diffuse sensors.
Fiber-Optic Amplifiers
Series 3030/3031: Compact amplifiers (30 x 30 x 15 mm) for industrial use, featuring protection functions and robust design with IP 67 and IP 65 ratings.
Series 3060/3065/3066: DIN-rail mountable amplifiers with large sensing ranges and high temperature stability, featuring teach-in models and compact housing (31 x 60 x 10 mm).
Synthetic Optical Fibers
These fibers are designed for detecting small objects in hard-to-reach places and can be cut to length on-site.
Application-Specific Fibers
Fibers tailored for specific applications such as cylindrical light beams, background suppression, multi-beam setups, and extreme temperature operations.
Main Features
Amplifiers are robust with a glass window for scratch resistance, environmentally resistant due to polyurethane potting, and offer high protection (IP 67 for series 3030 and IP 65 for series 3031). Sensitivity is adjustable via a potentiometer.
Protection
Devices are protected against overloads, short-circuits, wire reversals, overvoltages, voltage spikes, electrostatic discharges, fast transients, and HF fields.
LED Indicators
Green LED indicates excess-gain, yellow LED shows output state.
Connection
Standard connections include PVC cables or S8 connectors, with other options available upon request.
Technical Data
Specifications include housing size, material, supply voltage range, output current, switching frequency, ambient temperature range, and protection degree. Compliance with IEC standards for EMC protection is ensured.
Technical Specifications
1. Housing and Material: Dimensions are 31 x 60 x 10 mm, made from glass-fiber reinforced PBTP.
2. Electrical Specifications: Operates within 10 to 30 VDC, with a maximum ripple of 20% and output current of 200 mA max.
3. Performance: Maximum switching frequency is 4,000 Hz, with ambient light handling up to 10,000 Lux.
4. Environmental Conditions: Ambient temperature range is -5 to +55 °C, with IP 64 protection.
5. EMC Protection: Complies with various IEC standards.
Fiber-Optic Amplifiers with Digital Display
1. Part References: Available in NPN and PNP configurations with cable or connector options.
2. Type Specific Data: Operating distance is 200 mm with a standard target size of 100 x 100 mm white.
Synthetic Optical Fibers
1. General Features: Small dimensions, long operating distances, and low bending radii. Can be cut on site.
2. Technical Data: Ambient temperature range is -25 to +70 °C, with IP 67 protection.
3. Special Characteristics: Features include long operating distances and high resolution.
Application-Specific Fibers

Fiber-optic amplifiers and synthetic fibers-2

Detailed data sheets for these products can be found on the CONTRINEX website: fiber -optic solutions Optical fibers are fitted in front of the emitter and receiver (the basic operation is identical for both glass and synthetic optical fibers). These fibers work as the extended “eye” of the photo sensor. As optical fiber conductors are very small and flexible, they provide a truly practical solution to the problem of sensing in highly inaccessible places. Furthermore, they do not carry any electrical potential, and sensing operations are therefore possible without special safety measures, even...
