Continental Microwave's 8480 and 8486 series of arc sensors are solid state electro-optical devices which detect infrared and visible arcs in high power microwave waveguides. In addition to the optical sensor, the 8480 series also has a voltage trip port which can be connected to a diode detector to monitor reflected power.
The arc sensor normally mounts between the output flange of the microwave source and the waveguide transmission line in a swept 90 degree E-plane bend. Other configurations are available by special order. Models are
Our standard arc sensor includes a built in test lamp for checking the optical detector and the latching circuitry.
