Datasheet

Overview

The os7510 is a member of the Luna os7500 family of fiber optic accelerometers, which are based on Fabry-Pérot (FP) technology. Used with the HYPERION instrument platform, the sensor can be combined with other FP and FBG sensors in multi-sensor distributed measurement systems.

The os7500 sensors are intended as a replacement for conventional accelerometers in vibration measurement applications, adding EMI immunity, a robust package and resistance to lightning and corrosion. Within the family, the os7510 covers the wider frequency range of 0 to 350 Hz, while the os7520 is the higher-sensitivity, lower-frequency model.

Multiplexing

The sensor uses a two-fiber I/O design that allows sensors to be multiplexed in a daisy-chain architecture. Each sensor responds only to optical signals within a 20 nm band and passes all other wavelengths in both directions, so up to 8 accelerometers can be combined per optical channel on a HYPERION instrument with a 160 nm wavelength range.

Software

The ENLIGHT Sensing Software provides a utility to calculate, record, display and transmit data for large networks of sensors, and supports configuration and setup of the os7500 sensors.
