GENERAL DETAILS

1 GENERAL DETAILS

1.1 General Information

The HBK FiberSensing Portable BraggMETER PI is a continuous swept laser scanning

interrogator designed to interrogate Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors.

The interrogator includes a NIST traceable wavelength reference that provides continu

ous calibration to ensure system accuracy over long term operation. The high dynamic

range and high output power allows high resolution to be attained even for long fiber

leads and lossy connections.

The 4 available optical channels make this interrogator particularly suitable for large

scale sensing networks, acquiring a large number of sensors, providing an acquisition

rate of 1S/s with less than 0.5 pm resolution.

This Manual applies to the following equipment:

1-FS42PI-4FC FS42PI Portable BraggMETER 4OC FC/APC

1-FS42PI-4SC FS42PI Portable BraggMETER 4OC SC/APC

1.2 System Components

The Portable BraggMETER PI set includes:

Quantity Description

1Interrogator, including Windows 10 IoT and BraggMONITOR PI software

4International power cords (EU, US, UK, Aust/NZ)

1Power adapter

1Protection and carrying bag

1Battery pack (model: RRC2054-2S)

1Extra fan filter 40x40 mm

1User manual / Quick guide

1Calibration certificate

1.3 Wear Parts

HBK Optical Interrogators have wear parts (such as ventilation fans, optical connector

adapters and batteries) that require minimum running conditions to ensure a correct

operation of the equipment.

FS42PI

GENERAL DETAILS

Wear parts are covered by a limited warranty as they are components that depend on the

usage and on the environmental conditions the equipment operates in, such as humidity,

temperature, and dust.

1.4 Before using FS42PI - Portable Interrogator PI

Before using FS42PI Portable Interrogator please read the following warning notes:

SThe FS42PI - Portable Interrogator PI is an acquisition device that operates on batter

ies. Before removing or changing the battery pack, as well as charging the batteries

with a third-party cable, carefully read the user manual for instructions.

SA battery level below 10 % will compromise the correct start-up of the interrogator.

Ensure that there is the minimum battery level or that the interrogator is plugged in

before starting the equipment.

SIt is not recommended to charge the batteries at environmental temperature above

35º C [95º F].

SRemove the battery pack fully charged before long periods of inactivity (more than

4 weeks).

SPointing on the touch screen with sharp objects might cause irreversible damage to

the touch screen.

SThe optical interrogator operating system is Windows 10 IoT. If the customer intends

to use the Windows 10 functions, there is the need to connect regular pc accessories

(keyboard and mouse) through the USB interfaces. Alternatively, the Windows On

Screen Keyboard will start-up with the interrogator by default.

REGULATORY AND CERTIFICATION CONSIDERATIONS

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 Directive 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 household 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. HBK

FiberSensing is a manufacturer registered in the ANREEE - "Associação Nacional para o

Registo de Equipamentos Eléctricos e Electrónicos" under number PT001434. HBK

FiberSensing celebrated a "Utente" type contract with Amb3E - "Associação Portuguesa

de Gestão de Resíduos de Equipamentos Eléctricos e Electrónicos", 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 HBK

FiberSensing to Amb3E.

2.2 Laser Safety

The FS42PI - Portable BraggMETER PI interrogator 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 1M, Class 2, Class 2M, Class 3R and Class 4.

FS42PI

REGULATORY AND CERTIFICATION CONSIDERATIONS

2.2.1 Symbols

Warning symbol Class 1 Laser symbol

Fig. 2.1 Laser symbols used

2.2.2 Class 1 Laser

The FS42PI Portable BraggMETER Interrogator 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.≫It is safe under all conditions of

normal use. No safety requirements are needed to use Class 1 laser devices.

Laser Safety

Laser Type Fiber Laser

Laser Class (IEC 60825-1) 1

Typical Output Power per channel ≈ 0.3 mW (-5 dBm)

Max Output Power per channel ≈ 0.5 mW (-3 dBm)

Wavelength 1500-1600 nm

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 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 horizontal 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 connector plugged to the interrogator), a proper connec

tor cap must be used. The optical connectors are subjected to maintenance and/or

inspection. Please refer to section 4.3 “Common Measuring Difficulties”, page 30 for

maintenance procedure.

Do not attempt to open or repair a malfunction interrogator. It must be returned to HBK

for repair and calibration.
