Fan lock sensor: operation details
DC Fan sensor output
In the ASFN series, the models designated "with lock sensor" have an additional output. If the fan propeller is blocked, a rectangular alarm
signal is triggered at the sensor output. This signal can be used with an external circuit in order to monitor the fan - for example, to keep it from
overheating.
1. Sensor output switch action
Notes:
- 1. Output may be high for approximately 0.5s when power is turned on.
- 2. In case of fan blockage, the sensor signal is at a constant high.
2. External circuit
Notes:
- 1. Set the resistance (R) at a value which ensures that the sensor circuit current (lc) does not exceed 5mA.
- If the sensor output is operating at the TTL level,the sensor circuit current (lc) should be approximately 2mA.
