How to properly install a fiber optic sensor
Surface installation using adhesives is a common method for fiber optic surface instrumentation, and a similar preparation procedure to standard procedures for strain gauge installation is recommended. This includes cleaning, abrading, conditioning/neutralizing, and use. Proper fiber optic sensor installation is crucial to obtain accurate and useful strain measurements. Sensuron's FOS offers hundreds to thousands of sensing points with a resolution of 1. This Application Note is intended to guide users of Luna's High Definition Fiber Optic Sensing (HD-FOS) system (the ODiSI) through the simple process of mounting a fiber sensor onto the surface of a test article. The FiberPatrol fence-mounted perimeter intrusion detection sensor system, detects and locates intruders using fiber optic technology.
