TECHNICAL DETAILS

1 TECHNICAL DETAILS

1.1 General Information

The FS22 - Industrial BraggMETER SI with real time embedded Smart Peak Detection

(SPD) is a continuous swept laser scanning interrogator specifically designed to interro

gate Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) based sensors in industrial environments.

BraggMETER interrogators include a NIST traceable wavelength reference that provides

continuous calibration to ensure system accuracy over long term operation. The high

dynamic range and high output power combined with the Smart Peak Detection (SPD)

allow high resolution to be attained even for long fiber leads and lossy connections.

Multiple sensors can be connected in series in each optical fiber, in combination with one,

four or eight optical channels with parallel acquisition. The FS22 - Industrial BraggMETER

SI is particularly suitable for large scale sensing networks acquiring a large number of

sensors simultaneously and providing 1 S/s acquisition rates with sub picometer resolu

tion.

The BraggMETER is available either in Standard and Rack-mountable formats. This Man

ual applies to the following equipment:

SK-FS22 (1S/s option)

S1-FS22SI-ST/4CH

S1-FS22SI-ST/8CH

HBK FiberSensing interrogators are compatible with catman software, a powerful tool for

data acquisition and processing.

1.2 System Components

REGULATORY AND CERTIFICATION CONSIDERATIONS

2 REGULATORY AND CERTIFICATION CONSIDERATIONS

2.1 Environment Considerations

2.1.1 Disposal of your Old Appliance

When the attached symbol combination - crossed-out wheeled bin and

solid bar symbol is attached to a product it means the product is covered

by the European Directive 2002/96/EC and is applicable in the European

Union and other countries with separate collection systems.

All electrical and electronic products should be disposed of separately from

the municipal waste stream or household via designated collection facilities appointed by

the government or the local authorities. The correct disposal of your old appliance will

help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health. For

more detailed information about disposal of your old appliance, please contact your city

office, waste disposal service or distributor that purchased the product.

HBK FiberSensing is a manufacturer registered in the ANREEE - "Associação Nacional

para o Registo de Equipamentos Eléctricos e Electrónicos" under number PT001434.

HBK FiberSensing celebrated a "Utente" type contract with Amb3E - "Associação Portu

guesa de Gestão de Resíduos de Equipamentos Eléctricos e Electrónicos", which ensures

the transfer of Electrical and Electronic appliance waste management, i.e. placing Elec

tronic and Electrical appliances in the Portuguese market, from the manufacturer HBK

FiberSensing to Amb3E.

2.2 Laser Safety

The FS22 - Industrial BraggMETER SI contains a laser in its core. A laser is a light source

that can be dangerous to people exposed to it. Even low power lasers can be hazardous

to a person's eyesight. The coherence and low divergence of laser light means that it can

be focused by the eye into an extremely small spot on the retina, resulting in localized

burning and permanent damage.

The lasers are classified by wavelength and maximum output power into the several

safety classes: Class 1, Class 1 M, Class 2, Class 2 M, Class 3R and Class 4.

FS22SI

REGULATORY AND CERTIFICATION CONSIDERATIONS

2.2.1 Symbols

Warning symbol Class 1 Laser symbol

2.2.2 Class 1 Laser

The FS22 - Industrial BraggMETER SI is a class 1 laser product:

«Any laser or laser system containing a laser that cannot emit laser radiation at levels

that are known to cause eye or skin injury during normal operation. »

It is safe under all conditions of normal use. No safety requirements are needed to use

Class 1 laser devices. This product contains a laser within an enclosure that prevents

exposure to the radiation and that cannot be opened without shutting down the laser.

2.2.3 General Precautions Considerations

Everyone who uses a laser equipment should be aware of the risks.

The laser radiation is not visible to the human eye but it can seriously damage user's eye

sight.

The laser is enabled when the interrogator is turned on.

Users should never put their eyes at the level of the horizontal plane of the optical

adapters of the interrogator or uncovered optical connectors.

Adequate eye protection should always be required if there is a significant risk for eye

injury.

When an optical connector is not in use (no optical cable plugged to the interrogator), a

proper connector cap must be used. The optical connectors are subjected to mainte

nance and/or inspection. Please refer to section 4.4.1 “Dirty Connector“ for maintenance

procedure.

Do not attempt to open or repair a malfunctioning interrogator. It must be returned to

HBK FiberSensing for repair and calibration.

SLow Voltage Directive (LVD) 2014/35/EU - Electrical Safety

SElectromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive 2014/30/EU

It is in compliance with the EN61326/EN55011 Emission Radiated Test Class A, under the

Electromagnetic Compatibility Standard.

The corresponding Declaration of Conformity is available upon request.

2.3.2 Degree of protection

In compliance with the IEC/EN 60529 Degrees of protection provided by enclosures is:

SFor the Standard format: IP40 certification (protection against the ingress of solids

larger than 1 mm in diameter).

SFor the Rack-mountable format: IP20 certification (protection against the ingress of

solids larger than 12.5 mm in diameter).
