DESCRIPTION

The Hall Effect speed sensor (HESS) is ideal for sensing steel gears or other

ferrous targets from 0 to 10 KHz. This sensor does not have a minimum

threshold speed as does a magnetic pickup sensor. However, when the sensor is

first powered up, the output state is indeterminate (Hi or Lo) when the sensor is

not detecting metal. The unit operates from a +8 to +30 VDC power supply and

is reverse polarity protected. The sensor face can be mounted flush into metal

panels. The case is stainless steel and is supplied with 10 feet (3 M) of cable.

The stranded shield wire is not connected to the sensor circuit or case.
