Types of Fiber Optic Sensors

1. Intrinsic Sensors

The sensing takes place within the fiber itself.
Changes in temperature, pressure, strain, or other parameters directly affect the properties of light traveling through the fiber.

2. Extrinsic Sensors

The optical fiber is used to transmit light to and from an external sensing region.
The measurement is made outside the fiber, and the light carries the information back for analysis.

Working Principle

Fiber optic sensors work by detecting changes in:

Light intensity
Phase
Wavelength
Polarization

These changes are caused by external physical influences (e.g., strain, temperature, pressure) and are measured to infer the quantity being monitored.

Applications

Structural health monitoring (e.g., bridges, buildings, dams)
Medical applications (e.g., endoscopy, temperature sensing in MRI environments)
Aerospace and defense (e.g., vibration and pressure monitoring)
Oil and gas industry (e.g., pipeline monitoring)
Industrial automation (e.g., robotics, manufacturing processes)

Durable Construction for Harsh Environments

The sensor features a PBT housing and an IP67 enclosure rating, meaning it withstands dust, moisture, and industrial contaminants. This makes it perfect for rugged operational settings in Namibia or similar demanding locations, ensuring long-term durability and consistent performance.

Flexible Sensing and Quick Installation

With a sensing distance determined by your choice of fiber optic cable and adaptable mounting options (18 mm barrel or side mount), the QS18VP6FP suits a range of setups. The 4-pin M12 quick disconnect simplifies electrical connections, facilitating fast and secure installations.

FAQs of Fiber Optic PBT Sensor QS18VP6FP:

Q: How does the sensing distance for the QS18VP6FP Fiber Optic Sensor get determined?

A: The sensing distance depends on the specific type and length of fiber optic cable used with the sensor. By selecting different fiber optics, you can tailor the detection range to your application requirements.

Q: What are the main benefits of using a PBT housing and IP67 enclosure?

A: The PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) housing offers excellent durability and resistance to chemicals and mechanical stress, while the IP67 rating ensures protection against dust ingress and immersion in water, making the sensor reliable for challenging environments.

Q: Where can the QS18VP6FP Fiber Optic Sensor be installed?

A: This sensor can be installed in a variety of industrial environments throughout Namibia or elsewhere, thanks to its rugged construction. Its mounting options allow for both 18 mm barrel and side mounting, increasing placement flexibility.

Q: What is the process of connecting the sensor electrically?

A: The QS18VP6FP features a 4-pin M12 quick disconnect connection type, which allows for a rapid, secure, and tool-free electrical connection, streamlining installation and maintenance work.

Q: When is it advantageous to use this sensors dual output (PNP/NPN)?

A: The ability to switch between PNP and NPN output modes offers compatibility with a wide range of control systems and devices, increasing versatility and simplifying integration into existing automation setups.

Q: How do the dual LEDs help during sensor operation?

A: The dual LEDs clearly indicate the status: green illuminates when power is ON, and yellow shows when output is ON, providing at-a-glance diagnostics for quick troubleshooting and monitoring.
