1. Instrument overview

The ProSens instrument is a fiber optic signal conditioner based on Opsens’

interferometric (WPLI) fiber optic technology and/or GaAs (SCBG) fiber optic technology.

It is composed of the ProSens chassis including an on-board computer and touch-

screen display for real time data acquisition and transfer and mix combination of PSP,

PSM and PSR plug-in measurement modules. Each module has one measuring channel

and one analog output. Up to eight modules can be plug into the ProSens chassis. The

data output rate of each module is adjustable from 100 to 1000 Hz. Data measurements

of all plugged modules can be simultaneously retrieved at the Ethernet 10/100 Base-T

interface located at the rear panel of the chassis or on the analog output interface of

each of the modules.

2. Installation

2.1 Power Connection

The ProSens instrument is configured for line voltages of 85 to 265 VAC at line

frequency of 47 Hz to 66 Hz. The power rating is 100 W nominal (for eight modules).

Verify that the line operating voltage in your area is conforming to the above

specifications. Before plugging in the power cord, make sure that the power switch is in

the off (0) position. Connect the female end of the supplied power cord to the power

connector on the rear panel. Connect the other end of the power cord to a grounded AC

outlet

CAUTION: Operating the instrument on an incorrect line voltage or frequency

may cause damage to the instrument, possibly voiding the warranty.

WARNING: The power cord supplied with the ProSens contains a separate

ground wire for use with grounded outlets. When proper

connections are made, instrument chassis is connected to power

line ground through the ground wire in the power cord. Failure to

use grounded outlet may result in personal injury or death due to

electrical shock.

Turn on the instrument by pressing the rear panel power switch to the on (1) position. At

power on, the green LED indicator of each module turns ON (unless the module has

been disabled by the user; see section 6.2.3.1). The red LED indicator turns ON only if

there is no sensor connected to the module or in case of module malfunction. In the later

unlikely case, contact factory.

2.2 Cooling and installation

The ProSens is cooled by forced convection. An exhaust fan located on the rear allows

ambient air to flow inside the casing of the instrument. The ambient air is draw inside

the casing through the ventilation louvers located on the top cover (near the front).

CAUTION: The ProSens casing must be installed in area where ambient

temperature does not exceed 50°C. Enough space must be allowed

for exhaust fan and ventilation louvers so they are not obstructed

and sufficient ventilation is provided. Operating the instrument with

improper cooling may cause damage to the instrument, possibly

voiding the warranty

IMP0041 ProSens with PSP, PSM, PSR modules rev1.1.doc

3. Sensor connection

Opsens fiber-optic sensors or transducers must me mated to the ProSens output

connectors (Figures below). The optical connectors provided with the ProSens are

usually a square push-pull SC-type mating. Remove the protective cap of the mating,

engage the sensor connector with the orientation key properly oriented and push until it

clicks into its place. Always clean the sensor connector prior to connect it to the signal

conditioner with the included connector cleaner. Use a fresh section of cleaning cloth

every time.

NOTE: Always clean the connector ferrule endface with the include connector

cleaner before each connection. Failure to do so will result in permanent

damage to the connector caused by hard particles trapped between the

fiber optic endfaces.

NOTE: Always replace the protective dust cap on the mating when there is no

sensor connected and always replace the protective dust cap on the

sensor fiber-optic connector when not in used.

Figure 1 : Remove the protective cap before connecting

Figure 2 : Always clean the end of the connector ferrule before each

connection

IMP0041 ProSens with PSP, PSM, PSR modules rev1.1.doc

Figure 3 : Engage the sensor connector with the orientation key properly

oriented and push until it clicks into place To disconnect, grab the square

connector body and just pull

Ask for Opsens Fiber-Optic Cleaning Guide for further information on how to clean fiber-

optic connectors. As a reminder, Opsens provides you the good practice rules for

handling and using fiber optic sensors:

9Keep the fiber optic connector surface clean – adopt the habit of cleaning

the connector at each use.

9When the sensor is not in use, always put a protective cap over the

connector.

9Avoid dropping the connector or scraping it on hard surfaces.

9Avoid sharp bending radius in the fiber-optic cable (radius less than

10mm).

9Avoid tension or twisting of the fiber-optic cable.

9Avoid pinch points and “scissors” when setting in place the sensor.

9Avoid pulling on the fiber optic cable to clear tangles; carefully untwine it

instead.

9When spooling the fiber optic cable, verify that the tie wraps or other sort

of ties remain loose.

9When installing the sensor, avoid bending or shear force on the probe tip.

4. Quick Start Guide

Step 1: Sensor with Gage Factors must be defined and saved into internal ProSens

memory (Sensor submenu (module specific)).

Step 2: Module must be associated with one sensor defined into the ProSens (Sensor

assignment).

Step 3: Sensor must be initialized (select appropriate filtering method and parameters

(Channel configuration: digital noise reduction filters), nulling sensor when

required (Channel configuration: zeroing and offsetting), adjusting voltage output

is needed (Channel configuration: analog output settings)

Step 4: System is ready to measure (Measure menu)

IMP0041 ProSens with PSP, PSM, PSR modules rev1.1.doc

5. PSP, PSR and PSM modules

The ProSens can be populated with up to 8 modules of either the same type or of

different types of modules. Although most functionalities and menus related to each

module are similar, there are some differences. Instructions described in section 5 that

are module specific are highlighted as follow (module specific). Since the ProSens

automatically recognizes which module is inserted into each slot, menus are

automatically adapted to each module.

5.1 PSP module description

The PSP module is an interferometric module compatible with all WLPI sensors

available from Opsens. Opsens can provide a wide variety of WLPI sensors for

measuring temperature, pressure, strain and displacement. The PSP module is then a

multi parameter module.

Because WLPI sensors mated to the PSP can measure a variety of parameters, the user

must instruct the system of which type of sensor is connected, as well as sensor specific

calibration as provided by Opsens and attached nearby the sensor connector. This task

is achieved by the user by entering the gage factor specific to the sensor being used.

5.2 PSM module description

The PSM module is an interferometric module compatible with some specific sensors,

but mainly with the medical pressure sensors (OTP-M). This module is a variation of the

PSP module, where 1) the range of measurements was reduced to accommodate the

medical limited range of pressure; 2) the power consumption is decreased and lamp life

expectancy is increased; and 3) the system comes with an internal manometer for

correcting against atmospheric pressure variation. The PSM used along with an OTP-M

sensor then output a pressure relative to atmospheric pressure.

The user must instruct the system of which type of sensor is connected, as well as

sensor specific calibration provided by Opsens and attached nearby the sensor

connector. This task is achieved by the user by entering the gage factor specific to the

sensor being used.

5.3 PSR module description

The PSR module is a spectrophotometric (GaAs) module compatible with GaAs OTG-R

sensors available at Opsens. This module along with the OTG-R sensors does not

require any calibration factors since all sensors exhibit the same optical behaviour. This

module is well adapted for high speed temperature measurements such as for HERO

(EED) applications.

IMP0041 ProSens with PSP, PSM, PSR modules rev1.1.doc

6. Instrument setup

After the instrument has booted, the screen presents a mostly grey display. At the left is

the main menu bar showing the different options for configuring the instrument, the

sensors and the measurements.

6.1 General menu: communication and local time setup

The General menu is used for setting the remote communication parameters of the

ProSens instrument. The only option for communication with the ProSens is through the

Ethernet port. The first step is to configure the general parameters of the instrument for

communication. This is done by pressing on the General button (Figure 4) and

thereafter the Ethernet submenu button. The ProSens instrument can be connected to

a Local Area Network (LAN) - either to Client/server configuration network or to Peer-to-

Peer configuration network.

6.1.1Client/server network

You can connect the ProSens instrument to the same network as the computer with a

standard LAN cable. The ProSens can be configured either with an automatic IP

address obtained through the DHCP server of the network or with a fixed IP address.

Ask your network manager for the required configuration and addresses to use.

Figure 3

The Auto negotiation, Full duplex and 100 Mbps boxes are mainly used as indicators,

but, in case of troubleshooting the internet connection, those can be modified. In normal

case, it is recommended to leave those values to the system default ones.

If the DHCP configuration is selected and a network cable is plugged to the computer

but no DHCP server is available, then the following error message will appears. This is a

Windows CE error message. Get rid of it by pressing the OK button, then you may set a

static IP address to fix the problem.

IMP0041 ProSens with PSP, PSM, PSR modules rev1.1.doc

If a DHCP server is not available or if a direct connection must be established, the

system must be configured to use a static IP address. In many case, only the IP address

should be updated. By default, subnet mask is the one shown below. Default gateway,

DNS server and WINS server should be left blank, unless an advanced user must know

what to enter in those fields. After setting those values properly, press the Apply button

which is now in a different color.

Figure 4

Then a dialog will ask you to reboot, press on Yes button to make this new parameters

effective.

6.1.2Peer-to-Peer network

In a Peer-to-Peer network configuration, the ProSens Instrument is directly connected to

a remote computer using a crossover LAN cable. In this case, the ProSens

instrument must be set to a fixed IP address. NOTE: make sure the Subnet mask

address is the same than the remote computer.

NOTE: IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO SET THE INSTRUMENT IN

REMOTE MODE DURING REMOTE COMMUNICATION OPERATION.

SEE SECTION 0 FOR MORE INFORMATION.

IMP0041 ProSens with PSP, PSM, PSR modules rev1.1.doc

6.2 Configure menu: instrument and sensor configuration

The Configure menu has five different submenus accessible by pressing on their

respective button in the submenu bar at the top level of the screen.

6.2.1System submenu

Use the System submenu functions to set the instrument sampling rate and the

measurement units for each sensor type. NOTE: these settings affect all modules,

i.e. it is not possible to adjust these settings differently for each module.

Figure 5

The measurement unit for each type of sensor is set by pressing on the drop down list at

the right top of the screen. Note: some sensor types are relevant only for the modules

they can be mated to. For instance, sensor types Tr and Tf are irrelevant for PSP or

PSM modules. There are four different sampling rates and possible settings (Figure 5).

6.2.2Sensor submenu (module specific)

By default, PSP and PSM modules output data measurements in nanometer units, while

the PSR output data measurements in Celsius. However if further functionalities are

needed, such as zeroing, offsetting, scaling, calibration, etc, then one must first defines

one or more sensors in the sensor list of the Sensor submenu (Figure 6) and thereafter

select and assign one of these defined sensors to a particular module (see Channel

submenu for sensor selection and assignment).

IMP0041 ProSens with PSP, PSM, PSR modules rev1.1.doc

Figure 6

6.2.2.1 PSP module (list of sensors available)

There is a list of sensor types available with the PSP module. This includes sensor type

for pressure, distance, strain and temperature measurement

The T1 sensor is a general purpose temperature sensor. Sensor does not need to be

zeroed and display the actual temperature after the gage factors are properly entered.

T1 sensor can nonetheless be zeroed and offset.

The D1 sensor is a sensor that can measure a displacement in a certain range. It can be

offset only in mm or inches.

The Pa, Pr, Pv, P1 and P2 sensors are sensors for measuring pressure either relative or

absolute. Relative measurement does not refer to a differential against atmospheric or

other reference pressure, but refers to the need to zero the sensor at one point.

Measurement units vary from psi, bar, torr and/or mmHg.

The S1 sensor is a sensor that measure strain in microstrains (µe) unit. Strain sensor

must be zeroed at one point.

The Gauge Factors (GF0, GF1, GF2, GF3) are the calibration parameters that allow the

user to set the output of the sensor in physical unit. All sensor value for PSP modules,

either for debugging or advanced application purposes, could be expressed in

nanometer.

IMP0041 ProSens with PSP, PSM, PSR modules rev1.1.doc

6.2.2.2 PSM module (list of sensors available)

The PSM module is a variation of the PSM module that is mainly devoted to medical

pressure sensing (OTP-M). After connecting the sensor, it should be zeroed while still at

atmospheric pressure. Because the OTP-M is an absolute pressure sensor, the PSM will

subtract any atmospheric pressure change from the pressure read by the optical

pressure sensors hence, resulting in an equivalent atmospheric relative pressure sensor.

6.2.2.3 PSR module (list of sensors available)

There are two types of sensors available with the PSR, that is the Tf and Tr sensors. Tf

is a general purpose sensors, while the Tf is dedicated to bridgewire (electro-explosive

device) applications. For more information on this module, user is referred to RadSens

manual and system.

6.2.2.4 Sensor list: adding, copying, modifying and deleting sensors

Press on the Add button to access to the Add sensor menu (Figure 7). A sensor ID

number is automatically assigned but the user can change that number (0 to 99) by

simply pressing in the No box. Then select which type of sensor to add by pressing on

the Type drop down list. Then enter the appropriate Gauge Factors if necessary (see

next section). Up to 100 sensors can be defined in the sensor list.

Figure 7

To copy a sensor, select it from the list and press on the Copy button. The sensor is

added to the end of the list (Figure 8)

Figure 8

IMP0041 ProSens with PSP, PSM, PSR modules rev1.1.doc

To modify a sensor, select it from the list and press in the desired GFx box (top of the

menu page) to modify its value. Once finished, press on the Apply button to validate the

modifications (Figure 9).

Figure 9

To delete a sensor, select it from the list and press on the Delete button. The whole

sensor list can be deleted by pressing on the Delete All button. In all cases, a dialog

box will ask you to confirm your choice ( Figure 10).

Figure 10

6.2.3Channel submenu

The Channel submenu is used to enable or disabled modules, to assign a sensor to a

module, to select between running average and adaptive filters and setup filter

parameters, to zero and offset an assigned sensor, to setup the analog output and to

obtain the diagnostic parameters of the module.

6.2.3.1 Enabling/disabling modules

Each module has an ID # which is given by their respective slot position number, from 1

to 8 (1 is the left most slot position) in the ProSens chassis.
