Description
The FieldSens is a multi-channel, multi-purpose signal conditioner to be used with any of Opsens’ interferometric fiber optic sensors, i.e. the WLPI fiber optic sensors, for temperature, pressure, strain, and position measurements.
At the heart of the FieldSens is the Opsens’ White Light Polarization Interferometry (WLPI) technology (patent #7.259.862) which provides a mean for making accurate and absolute measurements of the path length difference of any type of interferometric fiber optic sensors, whose difference varies according to the measurand of interest.
The FieldSens is offered in a tabletop version or a wall mount version and comes standard with a LCD screen display, a RS-232 and RS-485 serial interface outputs. It provides sequential readings over up to 16 measurement channels with a ± 0.01% full scale precision.
