1 Technical Details
1.1 General Information
The Industrial BraggMETER DI is a continuous swept
laser scanning interrogator for fiber Bragg grating (FBG)
sensors. It includes a traceable wavelength reference
that provides continuous calibration to ensure system
accuracy over long term operation. The high dynamic
range and high output power allow high resolution to be
attained even for long fiber leads and lossy connections.
Multiple sensors can be connected in series in each opti
cal fiber, which in combination with the eight optical chan
nels with parallel acquisition for the FS22 - Industrial
BraggMETER DI, makes it particularly suitable for large
scale sensing networks, acquiring a large number of sen
sors simultaneously, providing 1000 S/s acquisition rates
with sub picometer resolution.
The BraggMETER is available in Standard and Rack-
mountable format. This Manual applies to the following
equipment:

2 Regulatory and Certification Considerations
2.1 Environment Considerations
2.1.1 Disposal of your Old Appliance
When the attached symbol combination - crossed-out
wheeled bin and solid bar symbol is attached to a product
it means the product is covered by the European Direc
tive 2002/96/EC and is applicable in the European Union
and other countries with separate collection systems.
All electrical and electronic products should be disposed
of separately from the municipal waste stream or house
hold via designated collection facilities appointed by the
government or the local authorities. The correct disposal
of your old appliance will help prevent potential negative
consequences for the environment and human health.
For more detailed information about disposal of your old
appliance, please contact your city office, waste disposal
service or distributor that purchased the product.
HBM FiberSensing is a manufacturer registered in the
