Description
The MSC model FO-ST is a versatile Fiber-Optic Analog Signal Transmitter that provides a means to transmit electrical signals over fiber-optic cables from remote sources in high electromagnetic fields or anechoic chambers to monitoring equipment in low field areas.
The FO-ST transmitter is EMI hardened and validated for EMC up to 200 V/m (46 dBV/m) at 500 kHz to 2 GHz. The transmitter monitors analog signal inputs at bandwidths from DC to 20 kHz. High 'Z' input leads and EMI filter circuitry ensure EMC compatibility without compromising signal integrity. Selectable gain jumpers are used to configure the transmitter modules for full-scale input levels of ±16, ±32, and ±48 VDC. Systems may also be configured to user defined full-scale inputs and outputs. Each 2-channel transmitter module is powered with 3 standard 'AA' alkaline batteries and is able to operate up to 120 continuous hours before replacing batteries.
Other MSC fiber-optic systems are available for monitoring audio, linear position, digital and light/lamps etc. Receivers are available in 2, 4 or 12-channel bench-top and 12-channel 19'' Euro-rack configurations. The FO-ST uses 820 nm wavelength multimode 62.5/125 µm, 100/140 µm or step-index 200 µm HCS fiber cables. SMA type 905 connectors are standard.
