Glass Fiber Optic Models

These models are an excellent choice for glass fiber optic applications where faster sensor response is not important.

Their high excess gain means that opposed individual fibers can operate reliably in many very hostile environments.

Also, special miniature bifurcated fiber optic assemblies with bundle sizes as small as 0.5 mm (.020 in) diameter may be

used successfully for diffuse-mode sensing when using sensor model Q45VR3F(Q). For more information on compatible

Plastic Fiber Optic Models

Lower in cost than glass fiber optics, plastic fiber optics are ideal for use in situations where environmental conditions

allow (for example, low levels of acids, alkalis, and solvents). Most are easily cut to length in the field, and are available

in a variety of sensing end styles. For more information on compatible plastic fiber optics, go to

Overview

Status indicator LEDs for power, signal, and output are clearly visible beneath a raised dome in the sensor’s transparent o-ring-sealed

polycarbonate cover. Also located beneath the sensor’s o-ring-sealed cover are controls for light/dark operate selection and the

sensitivity adjustment.

• The power indicator (green) lights when power is applied to the sensor.

• The signal indicator (red) lights when the sensor sees its modulated light source and pulses at a rate proportional to the

• The output indicator (amber) lights when the sensor’s output is conducting. This indicator is especially useful when a timing

logic module is used and signal and output conditions are not concurrent.
