Notes: 1) The sensing ranges are the values when used in combination with a red LED type amplifier. Please contact our office for details on sensing ranges for other types of amplifier.

2) Refer to p.16 or p.26 for the ambient temperatures of fibers to be used in combination.

Note: Spot diameter, distance to focal point and sensing range are specified for a red LED type amplifier.

Refer to p. 69~ for details of lens dimensions.
