Teledyne has introduced a family of fiber optic based photometric transmitters that are application specific, simple to use, and cost effective. Based on significant experience in the design and manufacturing of photometric instruments, the Photo-X series now offers the industry a customized build your own approach to on-line, UV-VIS or NIR applications.

 

Photometric Transmitter

The photometric transmitter can be manufactured according to a specific application requirement. Through our build your own program, the client can customize the components that are integrated into the transmitter. Customers now have options to select from in a menu style ordering guide to construct their personalized Photo-X.

The menu includes:

 

Lamps:

To cover all application regions of the spectrum, we offer both internal and external lamps. Internal lamps can be packaged along with the Photo-X.

 

Detectors:

To have sensitivity in the region of interest, Teledyne can match the spectral output of the lamp with the most efficient detector for the intended application. Detectors used are PMT, Si, InGaAs, and PbS.

 

Packaging:

Through our systems integration group, we can package the transmitter for general purpose and hazardous environments.

 

Fiber Optic Accessories:

Safely interfacing to a process stream is a very important consideration when monitoring in industrial environments. Teledyne can offer extractive fiber optic flow cells that range in path length from 0.02 mm to over a meter in length, and in-situ probes that can take pressures up to 10,000 psig and temperatures up to 3150C.

 

Window Fouling Circuit:

The Photo-X series provides a local indication that the windows are fouling. The local LED lights up when the reference signal has deviated by a customer established set point.

Calibration:

All Photo-X products can be supplied with an optional automatic / manual span filter that attenuates the measuring beam by a fixed amount every time it is introduced. This method is called calibration by standard addition and employs a reference filter (NBS or NIST traceable) to give a reproducible response when the filter is placed into the measuring beam.

Outputs:

Scalable 4-20mA, local digital display, and local indication of instrument status are common outputs for all Photo-X transmitters.
