FOM-Series
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Fiber Optic Monitor
The FOM-Series fiber optic monitors are designed to be
compact and reliable. Fiber optic temperature
measurement using the FOM-Series monitors provides
accurate readings combined with a user-friendly
interface. The FOM-Series boasts a
-80°C to +300°C temperature measurement range as well
as ±1.0°C (+/- 0.2°C in relative temperature) accuracy.
Common applications include transformer factories,
chemical processing, medical equipment testing (MRI,
PETSCAN, NMR), commercial grade microwave heating,
food and beverage processing, electric vehicle and
battery testing and wood drying.
Fiber optic sensors transfer information to the fiber optic
monitor via light that travels through the fiber optic
cable. This is quite different compared to traditional
sensors that use resistance/voltage to communicate with
monitors. Since fiber optic sensors use light the signal is
very fast, reliable and is not influenced by outside forces
such as EMI, RFI, NMR or microwave radiation.
