Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Why is output voltage lower than 150V P-P?
150V is at very high speed. Low speed output near 12.9V is normal. - Can this sensor work with aluminum gears?
No. Target must be ferrous metal like carbon steel. - What happens if I reverse polarity?
Signal flips but still works. Polarity matters for some controllers. - How to extend cable length?
Use shielded twisted pair cable. Max 300 feet. - Experience tip: sensor fails after vibration?
Check connector pins. Add thread locker for high vibration areas. - Which sensor to pick for high temperature over 107°C?
Choose AI-TEK high temp series. This model max 107°C. - What gap gives best signal?
Start at 0.010 inch. Reduce gap if signal is noisy. - Buying guide: need high resolution at zero speed?
This is passive. For zero speed, use active Hall sensor instead.
Selection Guide
- Use 70085-1010-002 for standard RPM tasks.
- Choose this model when no external power is available.
- Perfect for retrofit of older magnetic pickups.
- For extreme temperature, check AI-TEK HT series.
- Verify thread 5/8-18 matches your mounting hole.
