The new Cherry VN1015 series of digital vane sensors from ZF Electronics are designed for applications which require robust repeatable sensors immune to moisture and dust. These digital sensors are magnetically operated, so there are no mechanical contacts to wear out, ensuring extra-long product life and reliability. Models in the VN1015 series are available either with 3-pin sink output or with 24 AWG terminations and will cope with operating and storage temperatures of between -40degC and up to +125 degC, depending on model.

VN1015 series digital vane sensors have glass-filled polyester sensor bodies and are recommended for vane parameters with low carbon material at least 0.040in. thick, which should penetrate to a depth greater than 0.120in from the bottom of the sensor slot. Open collector (sinking or NPN) outputs enable them to be used with bipolar or cmos logic circuits with a suitable external pull up resistor. Maximum operating speed is 25 kHz. Reverse battery protection is provided to -24VDC.

Model VN101501 has 3-pin sink output with a maximum output current of 25mA. Operating voltage range is 4.5VDC to 24VDC connected to a supply current of 6mA (maximum). Operating temperature range is -40degC to +85degC. For higher operating and storage temperatures up to +125degC, VN101502 sensors also have 3-pin sink terminations and operate over a voltage range of 5VDC to 24VDC.

Two 3-wire sink models are available with 3-wire flying lead terminations (24AWG x 150mm leads). VN101503 has an operating voltage of 4.5VDC to 24 VDC and is suitable for applications operating over a temperature range of -40degC to +85degC. For more extreme environments, VN101504 operates over a voltage range of 5.0VDC to 24VDC and is proven to withstand storage and operating temperatures of between -40degC and +125degC.
