Overview
The Luna os8100 is a high-sensitivity tilt sensor based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) technology. It measures minute changes in deflection angle and is designed for rugged, stable monitoring that can be distributed over long distances.
Because it is an optical FBG sensor, the os8100 can be combined on the same instrumentation platform with sensors for other physical parameters such as strain, temperature, displacement, acceleration and pressure. The sensor is internally temperature compensated.
Installation is simple and repeatable, with wall, ceiling and floor mounting options. The sensor offers a tilt range of 10° and a resolution down to 0.002°. Up to 256 os8100 sensors can be integrated on a single Luna HYPERION instrument.
Software
The os8100 is compatible with ENLIGHT Sensing Analysis Software, an integrated suite of tools for data acquisition, computation and analysis of optical sensor networks. It can also be used with the HYPERION platform's Application Programming Interface (API), with examples provided in LabVIEW, Python, Matlab, C++ and C#.
