The VELOCE 100 Fiber Optic Temperature Monitor is an upgradeable, multichannel, ber optic signal conditioner especially designed for electromagnetic
interference (EMI) characterization on electronic explosive devices (EEDs).
It provides simultaneous reading of a large number of measuring points with
fast sampling rates.
The VELOCE 100 is specically designed to meet the requirements needed for
characterizing the EMI susceptibility of most bridge wire type EEDs.
The VELOCE 100 Fiber Optic Temperature Monitor is designed to be used in conjunction with the FOT-HERO ber optic temperature sensor. The miniature probe
size facilitates the positioning of the probe over the center position of the bridge
wire while its low thermal mass minimizes the heat sink effect, allowing a temperature resolution down to 0.025°C at a sampling rate of 200 KHz.
Thanks to its unique patented technology, the VELOCE 100 Fiber Optic Temperature Monitor is a relative measurement instrument that provides highly accurate
and reliable measurements. The system’s linear response is so reliable that it allows
sensor calibration with only one or two known current reference points.
The VELOCE 100 Fiber Optic Temperature Monitor comes in a 19-inch industrial
rack chassis that incorporates guide rails, connectors and a power supply. The
chassis can accommodate from one to eight sliding independent optical modules.
All optical input channels are easily accessible on the modules’ front panels. The
system scans all the channels simultaneously at a 200 KHz sampling rate. Each
module has its own BNC ±5 volts analog output. Temperature changes, expressed
in volts accordingly to user’s own scale factor entry, are then collected by optional
external analog acquisition systems. Each module can be independently controlled, upgraded, and optimized through its own RS-232 communication port
or, even more easily, thanks to its accompanying software, FISOCommander BUS/
VELOCE Edition.
