Application Notes and Warnings
!
Theendsofglassberopticassembliesareopticallygroundandpolished.Caretakeninthis
manufacturingprocessaccountsforthelightcouplingefciencyoftheberopticassembly.Asa
result,glassberassembliescannotbeshortened,splicedorotherwisemodied.
Usecautionwhenapplyingberopticsinhazardouslocations.Althoughberopticassembliesare
bythemselves,intrinsicallysafe,thesensorandassociatedelectronicsmustbeLOCATEDINA
SAFEENVIRONMENT.Alternatively,beropticsmaybeusedwithsensormodelSMI912FQD
(page34).Thissensorisapprovedforuseinsidehazardousareaswhenusedwithanappropriate
intrinsicbarrier.Also,seeNAMURsensormodelsQ45AD9F(page156)andMIAD9F(page90).
Fiberopticsdonotnecessarilyprovideahermeticsealbetweenahazardousenvironmentandthe
safeenvironment.
Inapplicationswhereglassberstoinsulatethecontrolfromhighvoltage,specifysiliconerubber,
Teon®,orhigh-densitypolyethylenesheathingwithnoreinforcingwireinthecable.Itisthe
responsibilityoftheusertotesteachberopticassemblyforinsulationcapacity.
Donotsubjecttheberstosharpbends,pinching,repeatedexingorhighlevelsofradiation.
Whenorderingberlengthsinexcessof1m,takeintoaccountlightsignalreductionof
5percentper300mmofadditionallength.
*Teon®isaregisteredtrademarkofDupont™.
