A -- FIBEROPTIC EMC TEST SYSTEM SOL DAAE30-98-R-0556 DUE 081398 POC Kathleen A. Sage, Purchasing Agent (973) 724-7674 WEB: US ARMY TACOM-ARDEC Procurement Network, http://procnet.pica.army.mil/cbd/RFP/98R0556/98R0556.htm. E-MAIL: Kathleen A. Sage, ksage@pica.army.mil. The U.S. Army, TACOM-ARDEC intends to award a Firm Fixed Price Purchase Order on a sole source basis to Photonetics Inc., 200 Corporate Place, Peabody, MA 01960 for the following equipment: Fiberoptic EMC Test System which can monitor up to four independent fiberoptic sensors simultaneously for measuring current or temperature. Each sensing probe must have a factory-installed personality key which is read by the instrument. This key contains sensor identification, making it possible for the instrument to accept sensors of any type, on any of the four channels. It shall provide fiberoptic sensing, Color Optic measurement in which the color or spectral makeup of the light reflected by the sensor is modified in proportion to the parameter being measured. Measurement rate: Normal mode -- 25 readings per second for each channel, available on all outputs, High Speed Mode -- 0.7ms (1 channel operation) to 2.3 ms (4 channels operation) Display -- 2 rows, 40 characters, high brightness fluorescent, updated 2 times, Functions -- Units; mA;C/F, High/low alarms programmable for each channel, 11 user defined calibration points for each channel, Interfaces -- Four 0-10 V analog outputs, RS 232 C (baud rates 300 b/s to 19.2 kb/s) IEEE 488.1 Operating conditions -- Temperature: 5 C to 50 C, Relative humidity: 5 to 80% noncondensing Configuration -- Bench Top Dimensions -- 3.5"H x 14.5"W x 17"D Input power -- 90-130V or 200-250V, 50/60 Hz, 125 Watt max.. Responses shall be addressed to Kathleen A. Sage, Purchasing Agent, U.S. Army, Bldg 10, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000. Posted 07/29/98 (D-SN229907). (0210)
