【Caution】
Extending the sensor cable makes it more susceptible to external noise.
Since the degree of influence varies depending on conditions, we recommend verifying performance in your actual operating environment.

Output Circuit:
Voltage output proportional to speed*3
0.5Vp-p or more
Self-generating type using a magnet and detection coil. No power supply required
Approaches the tooth tip of a gear, etc., and outputs a frequency signal proportional to the rotational speed
*1 Semi-open collector (open collector + pull-up): A proprietary output circuit developed by our company that allows direct connection even if the pull-up voltage at the signal receiving end is higher than the sensor power supply voltage.
Unlike a simple open collector, pulse output with a voltage close to the sensor power supply voltage can be obtained.
*2 Differential (balanced) CMOS logic can be used as an unbalanced signal. When used as a balanced signal, please check the power supply voltage and output voltage specifications.
*3 In principle, the output voltage of the GP type is proportional to speed, but the GP type prevents unnecessary increases in output to improve reliability.
