Models OS 615, OS 616

Distance up to 5 000 m (615) / 30 – 100 m (616)

Field of view 4° (615) / < 4° (616)

Description

The Optical Sensors of the Series 610 capture ballistic events optically and in real time. They are used in ammunition and fuze testing, where detonation timing and delay time must be precisely evaluated. The IMS 8510 captures the sensor signals and prepares them for evaluation.

Optical Sensor Series 610

Both sensors deliver a +12 V digital pulse and a +12 V analog output in parallel and operate at an operating voltage of +12 V to +15 V with around 50 mA current consumption — ready for direct connection to common ballistic measurement systems.

Model variants

OS 615 — Fuze running time

The Sensor 615 is used to verify the fuze running time of explosive projectiles. Under good visibility conditions it detects an explosion flash, comparable to a photo flash of guide number 45, at a distance of up to 5 km. The field of view is 4° and the sensitivity can be variably adjusted.

OS 616 — Tandem ammunition

The Sensor 616 is used for verifying tandem ammunition against reactive armor. It measures the delay between the ignition of the first and second charge. The sensor operates with a field of view < 4° at typical measurement distances of 30 m to 100 m and offers three fixed sensitivity levels.

Evaluation with IMS 8510

Both sensors can be combined with the IMS 8510 Measurement System. It captures the signals digitally and makes them available for further processing.
