100% passive sensor
Since the sensor does not need power, it easily monitors places without electricity and hazardous or inaccessible areas.
Simple installation
Each sensor itself is inside a metal tube and can be installed very easily. No advance skills are required.
Remote sensing
The FBG accelerometer is very suitable for remote sensing, as it can be installed even several kilometers away from the measurement unit.
Large range of applications
The sensor is ideal for the measurement of structural responses to dynamic stimuli, for example, buildings during earthquakes, wind turbines under gust loading, ship hulls under wave loading, etc.
Avoiding dynamic effects
It helps you to avoid negative dynamic effects such as resonance, fatigue, and instability that can endanger structural integrity and human health.
Low transverse sensitivity
This vibration sensor is designed to measure vibration in one principal axis, so it won’t provide any output caused by motion, which is not in the same axis that the sensor is designed to measure.
Flat frequency response
The FBG accelerometer has a very flat frequency response so its output is not distorted when responding to changes in acceleration.
Protected as IP68 rated devices
The IP68 rating guarantees complete dust tightness and protection against the effects of long immersion in water.
Immune to EMI/RFI
The sensor operates in harsh environments and hazardous areas. The technology is passive, explosion safe, and immune to electromagnetic/radio frequency interference.
Intrinsic multiplexing capability
Thanks to the intrinsic multiplexing capability, many accelerometers can be linked by a single optical fiber. This makes them suitable for inaccessible locations and large scale sensing networks.
Insensitivity to environmental induced noise
The sensor is inherently insensitive to environmental noise and is therefore suitable for measurements that could be distorted by ambient sound.
Robust aluminum case design
The aluminum case and input/output fiber optic armored cables make the accelerometer suitable for outdoor installations under severe conditions and without extra protection.
Low installation costs
Installation and cabling for such sensor networks are much less expensive and less cumbersome than comparable electronic gauge networks.
Connectivity
The sensor can be used alone or incorporated into a large sensing networks.
