Fiber Optic Cable Detection

Fiber optic linear heat detection provides a continuous complete solution that traditional thermography services cannot provide.

Fiber optic cable detection.

The cable can be connected in a loop or alternatively as a one or two channel single ended system. The sensor cable is certified fibre optic cable installed in a similar manner to electrical based linear heat detection technology. Daisy chaining additional controllers provide unlimited reach. The fiber is the dts sensor.

4 lhd units monitor the cable trays of all mv electrical power cables for hotspots or potential fires alerting facility managers with automatically generated alarms. With sensornet s distributed temperature sensing dts system the fiber optic itself is the sensor and therefore great care must be taken to ensure the integrity of the fiber optic and the optical path the quality of the fiber is essential and typically requires testing to specifications higher than the telecommunications standards. Up to 4 km of sensor cable may be installed in the area to be protected. Increase confidence in alarm reliability.

The beginning of the fiber optic linear heat detection cable is fusion spliced to an e2000 pigtail for connection within the controller enclosure. Fiber optic cables represent the future of linear heat detection and it s available now. We do this by providing a complete solution for industrial monitoring including installation optimization calibration early detection asset management and protection data communications it services. Deploying raysense fiber optic intrusion detection system is ideal for reliable perimeter security of 5 to 100km 3 to 62 miles through a single fiber optic cable detecting and locating within 3 20m 10 60ft over the entire perimeter.

With the optasense pipeline leak detection system the fiber optic cable acts a fully distributed sensor that offers thousands of detection points along the entire pipeline capable of pinpointing the location of a leak within 10m in real time. Connecting by network additional controllers provide unlimited cover. Best described as a continuous linear thermometer that actively reports temperature readings fiber optic linear heat detection is immune to emi and rfi and can be configured to offer programmable alarm criteria along the length of the cable. A fiber optic leak detection system consists of the fiber optic cable a light source such as a laser timing systems and control logic.

The light source as well as the timing and control logic systems sometimes referred to as the leak detection controller are located at one end of the fiber optic cable.
