Wheel Speed Sensors - supply voltage
Posted: Fri Feb 09, 2018 2:59 am
Hi All,
After some advice / comments please; I'm fitting wheel speed sensors to the Saxon as part of the S100 installation, but there's very little space available on the uprights and I therefore can't fit the Honeywell GT1 type sensors I usually use.
I've managed to source some suitably miniature sensors (Omron E2E-C/s type) , but they require a supply voltage of 10 to 30v DC (rather than the usual 5v).
I am thinking of using Aux 5 output to feed the four sensors their supply voltage (12v), rather than just tie in to my "Ignition-on-live" power feed.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Steve
