oooo oooooo Embeddable Strain Sensor I os3600 08 8 °8o8o8 • Continuous long-term health monitoring of bridges, dams, buildings, tunnels, and other complex structures • Measurement of strain while embed- ded in concrete or rock structures • Qualified to same rigorous standards used for comparable electronic gages • Temperature compensation sensor inte- grated inside. Measurement of relative temperature for compensation of strain • Cable integrated with sensor package for fiber protection and strain relief. • Fast, simple, repeatable installation • Connector protection fittings available • Armored fiber cable and rugged sensor • Double ended design supports multi- plexing of many sensors on one fiber. • Two standard gage lengths • Micron Optics' patented micro opto- mechanical technology. • Included in ENLIGHT's sensor tem- plates- allows for quick and easy optica mechanical conversions • IP67 rated for protection from dust and The os3600 Embeddable Strain Sensor measures average strain over the length of the gage while providing integrated temperature compensation. It is based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) technology. The os3600 is intended exclusively for embedding in concrete structures. Disk ends form a solid bond to surrounding concrete or grout. Universa ends allow the user to employ bolt-on, weld-on, or custom end brackets for attachment to rebar or other structures before embedding os3600 embeddable strain sensor with disk ends os3600 embeddable strain sensor with universal ends A rugged, Teflon and steel-shielded body, armored cables, and optional connector pro- tection fittings make the os3600 suitable for harsh environments. Two FBGs are well protected inside the os3600 body. One FBG measures strain, and the other provides for ntegrated temperature compensation. Since there are no epoxies holding the fiber to the carrier, long-term stability is ensured by design h side-by-side comparisons with vibrating wire and foil strain gages, the os3600 is equally sensitive and accurate, while providing 100 times more fatigue life. The os3600 strain gage is qualified for use in harsh environments and delivers the many advantages nherent to all FBG based sensors This sensor can be used alone or in series as a part of an FBG sensor array. Installation and cabling for such arrays is much less expensive and less cumbersome than compa- rable electronic gage networks TUNED Products displaying the "Micron OpticsTuned" logo include Micron Optics tunable technologies ensuring high quality and performance.
