1. Quick start 

1.1  FOTS100 Powering 

Connect the plug-in wall or tabletop power supply to a power outlet. Verify that the power 

supply complies with the voltage and frequency outlet. Connect the power cable to the 

FOTS100 power connector (Figure 1).

1.2  Sensor connection 

The FOTS100  is compatible with all TSD180 series Opsens’ GaAs-type of sensors or 

transducers for measuring temperature namely the OTG-M  series.  The  fiber-optic 

connector provided with the OTG-M  sensors  is  a  ST-type connector.  Remove the 

protective cap of the FOTS100  ST mating and engage the sensor connector  with the 

orientation key properly oriented  (Figure  2).  It is a good practice to clean the sensor 

connector prior to connect it to the signal conditioner. See the TSD180/181 Fiber-Optic 

Cleaning Guide for further information on how to clean fiber-optic connectors.  

NOTE: always replace the protective dust  cap on the mating when there  is no 

sensor connected.  Always replace the protective  dust  cap  on the sensor fiber-

optic connector when not in used
