1. General The fiber optical thermometer described in the operating instructions has been designed and manufactured using state-of-the-art technology. All components are subject to stringent quality and environmental criteria during production. These operating instructions contain important information on handling the instrument. Working safely requires that all safety instructions and work instructions are observed.
The outer jacket of the fiber optic temperature sensors is made out of Teflon, at the sensor tip a GaAs crystal (Gallium Arsenide) is attached. The probe sensor is completely non-conductive. Weidmann’s fiber optic sensors offer complete immunity to RF and microwave radiation with high temperature operating capability, intrinsic safety, and non-invasive use. The probes are also designed to withstand harsh and corrosive environments.
