AI-Tek has taken its years of experience of designing and manufacturing Hall Effect sensors for harsh applications and has developed a line of durable products for industrial, rail, military and automotive use.","The new AI-Tek DH series sensors are differential based, zero-speed, precision, single channel, speed sensors. At power-up, they calibrate themselves to the unique magnetic signature of their installed application and continue to update the calibration as the sensor is running. This unique combination of differential sensing technology and calibration make these sensors highly tolerant of installation misalignment, target geometry and composition, target run-out, vibration and air gap changes.","In comparison, the RH series are single-element based, zero speed, single channel speed sensors and are an excellent choice for general purpose speed sensing. Unlike the DH series that requires rotational alignment at installation, the RH requires no alignment. Air gap adjustment is precise and easy and similar to a VR type sensor.","The new DH sensor 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. Typically, each time a gear tooth (or any ferrous discontinuity) passes in front of the sensor the output changes state. This type of sensor is known as a \"P\" type because it uses N-P-N transistor logic (as opposed to \"N\" type, which uses P-N-P transistor logic).","Key Features:","Reverse voltage protection, up to -30 Vdc, to prevent damage if miswired High temperature range of -40°C to +125°C Wide range of supply voltage in single design of 4.5 - 24 Vdc Two output options of Supply Tracking or TTL Compatible Rugged design meeting IEC 77 Standards (European Railroad Applications) Require special alignment Improved duty cycle Improved fine pitch performance Increased air gaps
