5.4. Arc light fiber optic loop sensor AQ-07
AQ-07 is an arc light fiber optic loop sensor, which is a robust fiber optic cable with a practically
unlimited bending radius. The sensor contains hundreds of glass fiber drains covered by a plastic tube,
thus making it extremely strong and durable. Fiber sensors are distributed through the protected
switchgear cells.
AQ-07 sensors can be ordered in pre-manufactured lengths of 3…50 meters (3 m, 5 m, 10 m, 15 m,
20 m, 25 m, 30 m, 35 m, 40 m, 45 m, 50 m). It is not recommended to cut or splice the cable on-site.
However, if cutting or splicing is necessary due to the cable breaking, please contact your nearest
Arcteq representative for instructions.
The fixed light intensity threshold of an AQ-07 sensor is 8,000 lux. The sensor does not require further
settings by the user. The sensor's detection radius is 360 degrees.
When requested, the ends of an AQ-07 cable can be covered with black rubber to avoid light detection
outside the protected zone (see the figure below). The covered area can be as large or small as
necessary. For more information, please consult your nearest Arcteq representative.
