MULTI-CHANNEL MULTI-PURPOSE SIGNAL CONDITIONER FOR FIELD APPLICATIONS

Use with Opsens’ WLPI fiber optic sensors ——  
• Pressure • Temperature • Strain • Position

•  Up to 32 measurement channels

•  High linearity and precision

•  RS-232 and RS-485 serial output

•  Tabletop and wall mount versions

•  PLC optional control for data    acquisition and extended control    capabilities

•  LCD screen display

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 pending) 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 32 measurement channels with a ±0.01% full scale precision.

A PLC controller is also available in option which offers extended control capabilities through a wide range of input/outputs and internal processing, data acquisition capability and different communication hardware and software protocols.

* Display is not available on the 32-channel model
