Home / Wiring of a 3-wire fiber optic sensor
The wiring diagram for a 3 wire sensor includes three different wires- power supply wire, ground wire, and signal wire. The power supply wire is used to provide the sensor with the necessary power to operate. Three-wire sensors are used in various applications from detecting parts to locating position of the actual machine. FiberPatrol senses and locates minute vibrations in the fence fabric caused by climbing, cutting, lifting, or otherwise disturbing the fence fabric. Outdoor applications of fiber-optic perimeter intrusion detection systems expose the sensor cable to a wide variety of stimuli ranging from high winds, rain, and in some cases even the signals associated with trains, trucks and other vehicles.
