CHAPTER 5

THEORY OF OPERATION

Visibility Sensor FS11 is a forward scatter measuring instrument. It

consists of Measurement Unit (FSM102), Interface Unit (FSI102),

frangible mast (FS25010) and interconnecting cables.

Measurement Unit FSM102 consists of the Receiver module, the

Transmitter module, and the control board. It works as an independent

sensor with a limited number of external interfaces.

The power required for FSM102 and for the heating of the optics is

supplied by Interface Unit. The external power and the communication

interfaces exist in Interface Unit. Interface Unit consists of the AC

(mains) power supply, the communication controller board, and the

optional backup battery.

The FSM102 transmitter sends continuous infrared light pulses, which

the lens focuses into a narrow beam. The receiver lens collects the

scattered light on the PIN photodiode for detection. The detected light

level is converted and sampled, and sent to the measurement CPU for

calculations.

The communication control unit collects the measurement results and

communicates them to the user through the serial line interfaced with the

RS-232 or RS-485 driver or with the optional modem.
