-AAAA WITH OPTICAL TEMPERATURE SENSING
The RMZ has an option for using fluorescent decay via fiber optic cable for sensing temperature in high RF
environments. The number of channels of optical sensing is defined in the model number xxxx-xx04-xxxx.
The fluorescent probes are available from Watlow. The range is generally -100 to +200C without special probe
construction. Each probe is connected via a bayonet style ST connectors. To use this input in a control loop
define the bus as Optical (option 4) and select instance 1, 2, 3, or 4.
