RTS125+ DFOS System
Ruggedized eight-channel distributed fiber optic sensing interrogator for real-time distributed strain and temperature monitoring at up to 100 Hz. Positioned by the manufacturer for harsh field environments.
Technical overview
The RTS125+ is a multi-sensing DFOS platform that monitors eight optical fibres simultaneously with over 2,000 equally spaced sensors on each, giving 16,000+ strain or temperature sensing points. Acquisition runs at up to 100 Hz and spatial resolution is software-selectable as low as 1.6 mm on a custom order, with 6.3 mm the highest stock resolution. Sensuron states it also provides structural deflection and thermal mapping, and that the architecture is modular so additional interrogators can be added as requirements grow. Sensuron positions the RTS250+ above it, offering 200 Hz on up to four channels.
