Fiber Optic Cables
Use an extension fiber to connect the sensors to the plug-in card mounted in the Radi
C
entre
®
.
This extension fiber is a robust duplex fiber cable and uses dissimilar connectors to avoid
misconnections. The fiber optic cable with FC connectors feeds LASER light to the field sensor.
The fiber optic cable with FSMA connectors sends data from the sensor to the readout unit. Refer
to chapter 2.8 for fiber handling and maintenance.
To ensure safe and correct operation of the sensor, only use the Radi
S
ense
®
with the original
fibers. Do not use other fibers than those supplied by DARE!! Instruments. Fiber extension cables
are available on request. Contact your local reseller for more detailed information.
