DIGITAL VANE SENSOR
VN1015 Series
Magnetically activated digital vane sensor in a rugged, overmolded plastic housing with three pins or 3-wire ?ying leads.
Features
? Immune to moisture and dust
? Reliable and repeatable
? No mechanical contacts to wear out
? Operates from 4.5 to 24 V DC
? Reverse battery protection to -24 V DC
? RoHS Compliant
Speci?cations
? Open collector (sinking or NPN) output can be used with bipolar or
cmos logic circuits with suitable pull up resistor
? Sensor body material: glass-?lled polyester
? Recommended vane parameters: low carbon material at least 0.040"
thick, should penetrate to a depth < 0.120" from bottom of sensor slot.
? 25 khz maximum operating speed

Notes: These sensors require the use of an external pull-up resistor, the value of which is dependent on the supply voltage. See page 27 for recommendations.
Pull-up resistor should be connected between output (Green) and Vcc (Red).
