Speed Sensor Adapter V2

$43.00

The SIRHC Labs Speed Sensor Adapter V2 converts the AC signal produced by variable reluctance (VR) sensors to a square waveform that can be interpreted by most electronic devices requiring a digital RPM or speed signal.  Possible applications include engine control modules, tachometers, speedometers, nitrous controllers, water/methanol injection controllers, and the Cortex EBC.

These adapters utilize the Maxim MAX9924 chip which is specifically designed for position and speed sensing on automotive crankshafts, camshafts, transmission shafts, etc.

These modules are also compatible with most 2-wire Hall effect type speed sensors.

Available on backorder

Electrical Specifications:

  • Supply Voltage: 12-40 V
  • Output: Can be configured to produce 0-5 V or 0-10 V square wave, or left as open-drain output.
  • Maximum Input Signal Voltage: +/- 200 V

Applications:

  • Convert the AC signal produced by a VR sensor to a square wave that matches the frequency of the input signal.
  • Convert the signal produced by two-wire Hall sensor to a square wave that matches the frequency of the input signal.

Compatible Sensor Types:

  • All magnetic/variable reluctance (VR)/inductive sensors (transmission speed, wheel speed, cam/crank position).
  • Most two-wire Hall effect type ABS wheel speed sensors (see below).

Dimensions:

2.6″ W x 2.0″ H x 0.8″ D

Wire Length:

Approx. 12″ 22 AWG

How To Determine ABS Wheel Speed Sensor Type With Multimeter:

With the ignition in the ‘on’ position and the ABS sensor connected to the ABS system measure the DC voltage between each ABS sensor wire and ground.

  • If you measure around 11 VDC on one wire and 0.5 – 1.5 VDC on the other wire you have a two-wire Hall sensor that is compatible with the Speed Sensor Adapter V2.
  • If you measure 11-13 VDC on one wire and 0.0 VDC on the other wire you have a two-wire Hall sensor that is likely compatible with the Speed Sensor Adapter V2.
  • If you measure the same non-zero voltage on both wires you have a VR sensor that uses a DC bias voltage for fault detection and is compatible with the Speed Sensor Adapter V2.
  • If you measure around 0.0 VDC on both wires then you will need to connect each multimeter lead to one of the ABS sensor wires and set the multimeter to measure AC voltage.  Then spin the wheel by hand.
    • If you measure an AC voltage that increases with the speed of the wheel you have a VR sensor that is compatible with the Speed Sensor Adapter V2.
    • If you don’t measure any AC voltage while the wheel is spinning the sensor is NOT compatible with the Speed Sensor Adapter V2.
