The sensors are also supplied with molded strain relieves for additional cable protections.
The connectors are standard bayonet which provide a quick and reliable connection in your appliecatication.
A standard PTC sensor provides four outputs for your use.
A set of outputs provide quadrature signals that can be used in determining the speed and direction of a rotating target.
A third output supplies a direction of rotation signal.
The fourth output is a separate isolated signal used for speed detection.
All speed signals operate down to zero speed.
The sensors can be powered by a supply voltage between 7.5 and 24 volts.
