FOTEMP-PLUS or FOTEMP-OEM-PLUS compact table top fiber optic thermometer system

FOTEMP-PLUS

Fiber Optic Thermometer

The compact Bench Top FOTEMP-PLUS is a 1-4 channel fiber optic thermometer suitable for the end user or oem applications. Together with the TS series fiber optic temperature senors, the FOTEMP-PLUS thermometer system is the ideal solution for monitoring temperature in microwave, high frequency, high voltage, magnetic or aggressive environments where metal temperature sensors (RTC, TC, etc.) are either inaccurate or hazardous.

The measurement principle is based on the inherent optical properties of gallium arsenide (GaAs) with temperature. The TS series sensors are offered in different configuration optimized for a a particular operating environment or application – food, process industrieis, microwave, harsh chemical, and medical.

The fiber optic thermometer FOTEMP-PLUS is available with 1, 2 or 4 measurement channels. With a built-in USB interface as standard, the product offers a second interface option of RS232, RS485/Modbus RTU or Ethernet/Modbus TCP.  There is also a choice of voltage or current analog outputs. Real-time data collection is accomplished with the supplied copy of the  FOTEMP-ASSISTANT graphical display/data logging software. An update rate of 250ms per channel allows for fast response.
