1 Technical Details

1.1 General Information

The FS22 - Industrial BraggMETER SI with real time

embedded Smart Peak Detection (SPD) is a continuous

swept laser scanning interrogator specifically designed to

interrogate Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) based sensors in

industrial environments.

BraggMETER interrogators include a NIST traceable

wavelength reference that provides continuous calibra

tion to ensure system accuracy over long term operation.

The high dynamic range and high output power com

bined with the Smart Peak Detection (SPD) allow high

resolution to be attained even for long fiber leads and

lossy connections.

Multiple sensors can be connected in series in each opti

cal fiber, in combination with one, four or eight optical

channels with parallel acquisition. The FS22 - Industrial

BraggMETER SI is particularly suitable for large scale

sensing networks acquiring a large number of sensors

simultaneously and providing 1 S/s acquisition rates with

sub picometer resolution.

The BraggMETER is available either in Standard and

Rack-mountable formats. This Manual applies to the fol

lowing equipment:

2 Regulatory and Certification Considerations

2.1 Environment Considerations

2.1.1 Disposal of your Old Appliance

When the attached symbol combination - crossed-out

wheeled bin and solid bar symbol is attached to a product

it means the product is covered by the European Direc

tive 2002/96/EC and is applicable in the European Union

and other countries with separate collection systems.

All electrical and electronic products should be disposed

of separately from the municipal waste stream or house

hold via designated collection facilities appointed by the

government or the local authorities. The correct disposal

of your old appliance will help prevent potential negative

consequences for the environment and human health.

For more detailed information about disposal of your old

appliance, please contact your city office, waste disposal

service or distributor that purchased the product.

HBM FiberSensing is a manufacturer registered in the

ANREEE - "Associação Nacional para o Registo de

Equipamentos Eléctricos e Electrónicos" under number

PT001434. HBM FiberSensing celebrated a "Utente"

type contract with Amb3E - "Associação Portuguesa de

Gestão de Resíduos de Equipamentos Eléctricos e Elec

trónicos", which ensures the transfer of Electrical and

Electronic appliance waste management, i.e. placing

Electronic and Electrical appliances in the Portuguese

market, from the manufacturer HBM FiberSensing to

Amb3E.

Regulatory and Certification Considerations

12 A4249-8.0 HBM: public FS22 SI

2.2 Laser Safety

The FS22 - Industrial BraggMETER SI contains a laser in

its core. A laser is a light source that can be dangerous

to people exposed to it. Even low power lasers can be

hazardous to a person's eyesight. The coherence and

low divergence of laser light means that it can be focused

by the eye into an extremely small spot on the retina,

resulting in localized burning and permanent damage.

The lasers are classified by wavelength and maximum

output power into the several safety classes: Class 1,

Class 1 M, Class 2, Class 2 M, Class 3R and Class 4.

2.2.1 Symbols

Warning symbol Class 1 Laser symbol

2.2.2 Class 1 Laser

The FS22 - Industrial BraggMETER SI is a class 1 laser

product:

«Any laser or laser system containing a laser that cannot

emit laser radiation at levels that are known to cause eye

or skin injury during normal operation. »

Regulatory and Certification Considerations

FS22 SI A4249-8.0 HBM: public 13

It is safe under all conditions of normal use. No safety

requirements are needed to use Class 1 laser devices.

This product contains a laser within an enclosure that

prevents exposure to the radiation and that cannot be

opened without shutting down the laser.

2.2.3 General Precautions Considerations

Everyone who uses a laser equipment should be aware

of the risks.

The laser radiation is not visible to the human eye but it

can seriously damage user's eyesight.

The laser is enabled when the interrogator is turned on.

Users should never put their eyes at the level of the hori

zontal plane of the optical adapters of the interrogator or

uncovered optical connectors.

Adequate eye protection should always be required if

there is a significant risk for eye injury.

When an optical channel is not in use (no optical connec

tor plugged to the interrogator), a proper connector cap

must be used. The optical connectors are subjected to

maintenance and/or inspection. Please refer to

section 4.4.1 “Dirty Connector“ for maintenance

procedure.

Do not attempt to open or repair a malfunctioning inter

rogator. It must be returned to HBM FiberSensing for

repair and calibration.

Regulatory and Certification Considerations

14 A4249-8.0 HBM: public FS22 SI

2.2.4 Certification

This product carries the CE marking and complies with

the applicable international requirements for product

safety and electromagnetic compatibility, according to the

following Directives:

S Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 2014/35/EU - Electrical

Safety

It is in compliance with the EN61326/EN55011 Emission

Radiated Test Class A, under the Electromagnetic Com

patibility Standard.

3.2 Setting Up

3.2.1 Power Supply

To start the FS22 - Industrial BraggMETER SI interroga

tor connect the power cable to the interrogator Power

Connector (number 3 on Fig. 3.1 or number 4 on

Fig. 3.2). To acknowledge proper power supply, the

POWER LED will turn green during 2 seconds after con

necting the power supply.

3.2.2 Optical Connectors

The FS22 - Industrial BraggMETER SI can be purchased

either with FC/APC, or SC/APC optical connectors. num

ber 1 on Fig. 3.1 exemplifies FC/APC connectors.

Attention should be paid to the cleaning of the optical

connectors. A dirty connector can compromise the mea

surement and will degrade the interrogator performance.

It is advisable to frequently clean the connectors using

appropriate tools.

FS22 - Industrial BraggMETER SI can have one, four or

eight optical channels in parallel.

3.2.3 Ethernet Connection

Connect the Ethernet RJ45 connector directly to a PC

using a Ethernet cross-over cable, or to a network con

nector using a direct Ethernet cable (in this case, the

FS22 - Industrial BraggMETER SI must be in the same

subnet as your Local Network).

Operation

18 A4249-8.0 HBM: public FS22 SI

Important

The interrogator default network configuration is

“10.0.0.10:255.0.0.0:0.0.0.0".

3.3 Switching On

Pressing the ON/OFF button will start the interrogator.

The STATUS LED will start blinking at 2 Hz. After

approximately 30 seconds it will start blinking at 1 Hz.

This means that the interrogator is already on and

responsive, but the optoelectronic module is still warming

up. After approximately 90 seconds it should stay on per

manently. This means that the interrogator is able to

measure.

3.4 Switching OFF

To avoid accidental shut-down of the interrogator, it is

necessary to press the “ON/OFF" button between 2 and

6 seconds (Fig. 3.3).

If for some reason the 6 seconds are exceeded the user

can release the button before 10 seconds are reached

and the interrogator will remain ON (Fig. 3.4).

WARNING

If the ON/OFF button is pressed more than 10 seconds

irreversible changes on the interrogator configuration are

performed.

3.5 Operating the Interrogator

3.5.1 Network Properties

To operate the FS22 - Industrial BraggMETER SI from a

personal computer, the PC network properties should be

set so that both elements are configured in the same

subnet.

To configure your personal computer so that it is on the

same subnet as the default for the interrogator, proceed

as follows:

► On the control panel choose Network Connections.

► Select the LAN connection. The window displayed in

Fig. 3.5 will appear. Click on Properties.
