Applications Notes
See how Philtec fiber optic sensors solve measurement challenges in aerospace, energy, cryogenics, medical technology, vacuum systems, high-pressure environments, and advanced research applications.
60_Long Cables
Reference table of maximum continuous cable lengths by sensor model. Covers one-piece, in-line connector, vacuum passthru, extension cable, and bulkhead connector system configurations for extending fiber optic cable reach.
Option R – Ambient Light Rejection
Describes Option R1 narrow-bandpass filter that reduces or eliminates interference from overhead lighting, fluorescent lamps, and visible-spectrum sources. Matches 850 nm LED emission to photodiode spectral response for cleaner measurements.
Custom Applications
Showcase of custom Philtec sensor solutions: soil testing shear strain, drilling fluid viscometers, bi-metallic thermostat snap detection, precision gear testing, semiconductor wafer chuck leveling, and other customer-specific probe designs.
90 Degree Probes
Overview of 90° probe tip styles (T4, T5, T6, T7) for side-viewing measurements where perpendicular mounting is required. Includes LC and LT dimension requirements and examples of custom right-angle probe configurations.
Intrinsic Safety with Fiberoptics
Dual-channel 2DMS-D100 system with 39–49 ft intrinsically safe fiber optic cabling for gap measurement between rollers in combustible solvent-based fabric coating production. Electronics located safely away from hazardous atmosphere.
68_Connectors
Catalog of Philtec in-line connector options: standard Option B finger-tight, Option Bw wrench-tight for high vibration, Option B1 bulkhead, and vacuum passthru variants. Notes bandwidth and noise tradeoffs with connectorized systems.
69_FO Cable Jackets
Reference guide to cable jacket options (PVC/monocoil, interlocking stainless steel C1, silicone-fiberglass C2/C3, PTFE C6/C7, polyolefin C11, and more). Covers temperature range, bend radius, vacuum compatibility, MRI compatibility, and crush resistance.
