K-FS65-30-10-302 FS65 - Accelerometer • Outdoor • NC 1.1.1 Overview The FS65 - Accelerometer is a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) based sensor, suitable for a large range of appli cations where low frequency and small amplitude vibra tions are present.
Based on the measurement of an absolute parameter - the Bragg wavelength - independent of power fluctua tions. 1.1.3 Applications HBM FiberSensing accelerometer can be used in a large range of monitoring applications, including measuring ambient induced vibration of civil structures. : Civil Engineering : Energy : R&D...
HBM FiberSensing, S.A. concentrates all optical sensing activity of HBM and is an ISO 9001:2008 certified com pany. 1.1.5 Accessories The implementation of complex sensing networks in large structures is made simpler with HBM FiberSensing accessories.

Fig. 2.21 Fig. 2.22 Proceed in a similar way with cable B of the z axis accelerometer (Fig. 2.21) and cable A of the y axis accelerometer (Fig. 2.22). Use clumps to fix cabling and connections. FS65 A4265-2.3 HBM: public...
This means that for outdoor usage of the assembly arranged as above should have the connectors protected against moisture and dust. HBM FiberSensing suggests the use of a vul canizing tape around the connectors and adapter (Fig. 2.23).
