Sensors for Non-Contact Distance

OPTIONS FOR SENSORS

The standard PHILTEC sensor package provides a stainless steel sensor tip, a 3 foot long fiberoptic cable sheathed with PVC over steel monocoil, and DC-20 KHz bandwidth amplifier or DMS signal processing unit as one integral unit with the fiberoptic cable potted into the electronic enclosure.  Many options are available whereby the sensor tip, fiberoptic cable and/or the sensor electronics can be customized.  Several options can be combined into one unit and specified using the following format:  Model D100-BC1LT for analog units or Model DMS-RC100-BC1LT for digital units.

Important Note: It should be realized that certain combinations of options are not achievable for all models.  For example, it is not reasonable to expect to achieve high frequency response when combining replaceable tips with long fiberoptic cables and dark targets.  Please consult with the factory when there are questions regarding such issues.
 

OPTION CODE	FOR DMS	FEATURE
A	No	Temperature Stabilized Amplifier Minimizes Long Term Drift
B	Yes	Replaceable Tip Configuration - In-Line Connector (not available for D6 or RC12)
B1	Y	Replaceable Tip Configuration - Sensor Bulkhead Connector (not available for D6 or RC12)
Bv1	Y	Connectorizes Sensor System With Single Channel Vacuum Passthru Hardware for 10 E-7 Torr (not available for D6, D12 or RC12)
Bv2	Y	Single Channel Ultra-High Vacuum Passthru Flange for all D models  (not available for D6 or D12).
Bv3	Y	Single Channel Ultra-High Vacuum Passthru Flange for all RC models (not available for RC12).
Bvf	Y	Multichannel High Vacuum Passthru Assembly for 10 E-7 torr (not available for D6, D12, RC12).
Bvw	Y	Weldable Single Port Vacuum Passthru. D Models Require 2; RC Models Require 3
C1 - C10	Y	Sheathing Material Options For Fiber Optic Cables
D	Y	Reflectance Dependent Output
E	Y	Standard Cable Lengths are 3 feet. For lengths exceeding 3 ft., specify Option E and give total Cable Length, 49 Feet Maximum (15 m).
Fv1 & Fv2	Y	Solid Section On Fiberoptic Cable For Low Vacuum Passthru, 10 E-4 Torr Max.
G1	N	Equips Sensor With An Additional Output, DC Coupled with 10x Gain and Adjustable DC Offset
G2	N	Equips Sensor With An Additional Output, AC Coupled with 10x Gain
H1	N	Provides D models with a high bandwidth amplifier, DC - 200 KHz
H2	N	Provides D models with a high bandwidth amplifier above 200 KHz.  Bandwidths up to 1.5 MHz (some models) can be specified.
H3	N	Provides RC models with a high bandwidth amplifier, DC - 200 KHz. Bandwidths up to 350 KHz can be specified.
+Hn	N	Designating +H1 or +H2 or +H3 provides a sensor amplifier with two outputs: standard DC-20 KHz and a wideband output.
L	N	Equips sensors with a low bandwidth amplifier, DC-100Hz.  Bandwidths as low as 10 Hz can be specified.
+L	N	Equips a sensor amplifier with two outputs:  standard DC-20 KHz and a low frequency output, DC - 100 Hz
M	N	Digital Display - DC Volts
N	N	Low Noise Amplifier - The amplifier is optimized to operate with highly reflective targets only. This cuts noise floor in half, thereby doubling resolution (For RC sensors only)
O	N	Provides an adjustable 0 to -4 VDC offset control.  This feature is used to eliminate the DC offset from the sensor output, thereby increasing readout resolution.
P	N	Polynomial Curve Fit For Operation In Non-Linear Ranges
Q	N	Quick Disconnect AC Power Adaptor and BNC Output Connector
R	Y	Ambient Light Rejection - These devices operate with continuous light emission.  Standard units are subject to ambient light pickup.  In environments where background light is a problem, Ambient Light Rejection can be included by specifying Option R.  Ambient light pickup can be 50 to 100 times smaller when Option R is used.  (Not available for models D6, D12).
S	Y	Side-Viewing Sensor Tip
T1 - T9	Y	Custom Sensor Tips
V	N	Provides Sensor Amplifiers with 0 - 10 Volt Analog Output
W	Y	Window Probe For High Pressure or Vacuum
Z	N	Additional Output with Linear Range Spanning 0 - 5 volts
