FS6300 TEMPERATURE PROBE
HIGH-TEMPERATURE DIELECTRIC TEMPERATURE



: heat-resistant
: extended temperature range
: immunity to EMI/RFI
: highly dielectric
: ruggedized construction
: chemically inert
: long-term stability and reliability




OVERVIEW
The FS6300 is a high-temperature, dielectric fiber optic
temperature sensor probe based on Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG)
technology. It is specifically designed to be used in harsh
environments, withstanding high temperatures and intense
electromagnetic fields. This probe is therefore well suited for:

: Power Plants, including Nuclear Power Plants
: Power Generators
: Electric Machinery
: Chemical and Petrochemical Industry
: Oil and Gas Industry
: Laboratories & Universities

CONSTRUCTION
The FS6300 is completely non-metallic and employs only heat-
resistant and highly dielectric materials.

The probe cabling has a ruggedized construction with Kevlar and
PTFE strength layers, designed to provide both longitudinal and
transversal protection. It is designed to resist severe installation
and operation conditions.
The sensor has been extensively tested in Power Generators
under High-Voltage and High-Temperature conditions.

ADVANTAGES
: Immunity to all electromagnetic effects
including intense electric fields, electric sparks,
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), Radio Frequency
Interference (RFI), microwaves, etc.;

: Absolute temperature measurements
based on Bragg wavelength monitoring and independent of
signal amplitude;


: Scalability
sensors operating at specific wavelengths making it
possible to connect several sensors to the same optical
channel in a single Measurement Unit.
number of sensors simultaneously interrogated by one Unit
may be further increased by combining with active and/or
passive multiplexers.

: Multi-functionality
possibility of combining the temperature probe with other
FBG based sensors, such as vibration and strain.

: Robustness
resistant to harsh environments and industrial processes
(corrosion and chemicals);

: Low transmission loss
making it suitable for long transmission distances.

MONITORING EQUIPMENT
Temperature Sensors are fully compatible with FiberSensings
BraggMETER and BraggSCOPE Measurement Units, as well as
with other common FBG interrogators. Each FiberSensing sensor
is provided with a complete calibration sheet, allowing its
configuration to be easily and accurately set into FiberSensing
Measurement Units.

COMPLETE SOLUTION
FiberSensing may also provide a turnkey solution for temperature
and vibration monitoring of Electric Machines.
