Using NPN wheel speed sensors with DL2

Postby jake » Thu Nov 19, 2009 11:07 pm

I have a car fitted with these wheel speed sensors;
http://www.kasensors.co.uk/KA-SP-wheel-speed-sensor.pdf

They were purchased for a different application and as such are NPN type sensors so therefore I believe not directly compatible with the DL2 logger that I have.

How would I go about connecting these sensors to the DL2?

Using the "schematic" on the top right of that PDF, you would replace the load with a 1K ohm 1/4 watt pull-up resistor and connect the black wire to a digital/frequency input on the DL2

Many thanks Paul. I'll give it a try.
