The FOB100 Series comprises  
high-accuracy, multipurpose fiber 
optic thermometers with 1, 2, or  
4 channels. They use an original 
algorithm to analyze incoming 
signals, measuring the temperature 
on each channel.
The standard analog output is  
0 to 10V; 4 to 20 mA is optional. 
Sensors are sold separately in 
various cable lengths (see To 
Order chart, next page), are 
interchangeable, and do not  
require calibration. 
With the optional FOB100-SOFT 
software for Windows
®
 (see 
Accessories chart, next page), the 
user can download data to a PC via 
the RS232 communications port on 
the front panel. Software features 
include min/max alarm; full data 
logging functions; and bar-graph, 
trend-line, or statistics display.
The FOB100’s rugged enclosure 
and immunity to EMI/RFI 
interference make it ideal for 
demanding industrial and  
laboratory applications.
