Reed-switch proximity sensor

Make repetitive movement measurable

An internal reed switch detects a passing magnet. Follow pulses, rotational speed and temperature through the iQunet wireless network, with measurements reported at adjustable intervals.

Rotation range
0–1,500 rpm
Measurement
Pulse count + temperature
Power
Two replaceable CR2032 cells

From a passing magnet to a cycle count

A magnet passes

Mount the magnet on the component whose movement you want to follow.

The switch closes

The internal, normally open reed switch responds to the magnet.

Count cycles and revolutions

With one magnet passage per revolution, count changes give rotation speed. Follow pulses to count machine cycles.

Wireless measurements. Local history.

The sensor sends measurements to the M4 through a compatible iQunet radio interface. Review the history in your browser and connect the recorded values to your existing systems.

IMAG163010-REED-ROT details

Measurement
0–1,500 rpm with one magnet passage per revolution; pulse counting and temperature. The normally open reed switch closes when a magnet is present.
Applications
Rotation monitoring and machine-cycle counting; position changes where a magnet operates the switch.
Installation
Two CR2032 cells; 57 × 47 × 14 mm, 35 g; −20°C to +70°C. IP65, or IP68 with the specified upgrade set.

Connection & mounting

iQunet wireless network

Position measurements travel to an M4 with a compatible iQunet radio interface, directly or through an optional Repeater. Use the dashboard to follow measurements and adjust sensor settings.

The sensor counts magnet passages and reports at adjustable intervals. With one passage per revolution, the software calculates rotation speed from the change in count over time.
