AI Tek DH Series Speed Sensors

How the DH Series Works

DH speed sensors can sense each change in target movement, regardless of speed, from near zero to 15 kHz frequency range, generating a steady pulse train of frequency proportional to target speed. Each time a gear tooth (or any ferrous discontinuity) passes in front of the sensor the output changes state. This unique combination of differential sensing technology and calibration makes these sensors highly tolerant of installation misalignment, target geometry and composition, target run-out, vibration and air gap changes.

 

For applications with cable runs that exceed 500 feet, you will need to use a Digital Signal Distance Amplifier (DSDA).
