FL-400 Flame-resistant

Fiber Probe

Installation and Operation Instructions

Description

The FL-400 Flame-resistant Fiber Probe is a heat-resistant fiber optic probe that couples to Ocean

Optics miniature fiber optic spectrometers to measure

in situ emission spectra of samples such as

dissolved metals and high-temperature plasmas.

The FL-400 is a high-temperature 400-

m gold-jacketed UV-VIS optical fiber in an 8” nickel sleeve.

The tip of the FL-400 probe functions in environments up to 700

C.

Parts Included

 FL-400 probe

 Wire loop for emission measurements of dissolved materials

 SMA Splice bushing (21-02)

An optical fiber is not included but is required for operation. We recommend the P400-2-UV-VIS

Optical fiber.

FL-400 Fiber Probe Installation and Operation Instructions Connecting the Probe ► Procedure To connect the FL-400, follow the steps below: 1. Remove the plastic cover from the FL-400 probe. 2. Locate the 21-02 SMA Splice Bushing that came with the probe system. 3. Connect the male end of the FL-400 probe to the splice bushing. 4. Connect a standard optical fiber (sold separately; typically a P400-2-UV/VIS 400 m optical fiber) to the other end of the splice bushing. 5.

FL-400 Fiber Probe Installation and Operation Instructions Care of the Probe Follow these guidelines to ensure that the probe remains functional for as long as possible:     Handle the probe with care. Do not drop the probe. Dropping the probe may cause permanent damage. Clean the probe with distilled water or light detergents. Mild sonication is recommended. Do not place probe tip in a cool cleaning solution while tip is hot. This could fracture the silica fiber in the probe.
