From dome lights to high beams
The FO-ALS measures changes in illuminance from light sources, over a range of 1 to 10 000 lx. That covers dome lights, indicators and even high-beam headlights.
Its two sensor channels have different sensitivities. Together they give a large dynamic range and keep sensitivity at low light levels. Bandwidth is 1.5 kHz, over wavelengths from 390 to 700 nm, and 3 AA alkaline batteries last 60 hours.
Shielding and input filtering protect the FO-ALS from EMI, EMP and the high voltages of plasma research. It is validated for EMC up to 200 V/m from 500 kHz to 18 GHz, and 600 V/m pulsed (5 % duty cycle, 5 µs rise time) from 1 to 2.5 GHz.
