1.3 Application characteristics
Speed sensors for applications such as turbines, compressors, expanders, etc. in hazardous
areas of zones 2. The sensors are approved as “non-sparking/non-incendive”equipment with
protection class Ex nA IIC, temperature class T4 (at Ta = -40 ° C to +125 ° C) or temperature
class T6 (at Ta = -20 ° C to + 40 ° C). The power supply must comply with the regulations for this
(see chapter 4.2 "Power supply" or Chapter0 "Safety instructions"). Safety classification up to
SIL 3 / IEC 61508:2010 resp. EN ISO 13849-1:2015 PL e Kat. 4, EN ISO 13849-2:2012 PL e
Kat. 4 and IEC 62061:2021; useable in applications up to SILCL 3 as speed sensors.
Their low end of 0 Hz allows monitoring the machine down to zero speed. They are contact-free,
wear-free, maintenance-free and unsusceptible versus external magnetic stray fields and
machine vibration.
Sensors A5S1DD0…-n and A5S1DS0…-n for detection of rotational speed
Single Channel, the output provides the rotational speed as a single-track frequency signal.
Sensors A5S1DD3…-n and A5S1DS3…-n for detection of rotational speed and direction of
rotation
Dual Channel, 1 track = rotational speed as frequency, 1 track = F/R status as binary signal.
Sensors A5S1DD4…-n and A5S1DS4…-n for detection of rotational speed and direction of
rotation with two phase-shifted speed signals
Dual Channel, the output provides the rotational speed as a twin-track frequency signal (phase
shifted). Suitable for external direction detection with enhanced safety.
1.4 Mounting of the Sensor
The sensor should be mounted in radial direction so that it points to the axis of rotation of the
rotating profile. An arrangement parallel to the axis of rotation for frontal scanning is also
possible. Then, a possible axial displacement in the machine must be considered. All our
information applies to radial scanning.
For mounting, it is best to have the same thread in the fixed part. The sensor is then fixed in the
correct position with the supplied nut.
The mounting may be made flush in any material; several sensors can also be placed close to
each other.
A solid and vibration-free mounting of the sensor is important.

1.4.1 Notes on Pole Wheel
The pole wheel must be made of ferromagnetic steel. Non-ferrous material, stainless steel or
plastics do not work.
The grooves / bolts of the pole wheel must be equidistant; otherwise the speed signal will be
unsteady.
The pole wheel should have no damage or burrs; otherwise the speed signal can become
unsteady. If there is any damage, increasing the gap in the air can eliminate a possible fault
(double pulses).
1.4.2 Positioning of Sensor
1.4.2.1 Alignment of Sensor
The sensor must be aligned with the flanks of the profile to be scanned. It is correctly installed if
the two planes at the end of the sensor (which also serve as wrench planes for screwing in)
point in the direction of the profile or perpendicular to the profile edges (for example the tooth
flanks of a gear).
A deviation of up to ± 20 ° is permitted.
Correct alignment of the sensor

D = min. 3 mm

1.4.2.2 Recommended Air Gap
The recommended air gap between the sensor front surface and the rotating part must be
observed. It increases with the size of the profile: For cams or milled grooves with their width,
distance and depth, for a gear with its module (= diameter / number of teeth). The field between
grooves or cams must be at least as large as the specified width (W), the depth D = at least 3
mm. Thickness of a gear or length (T) of a milled recess of at least 5 mm (plus a possible axial
displacement).
The guideline values given below for the profile size (D / W / T) of a rotor are the minimum
dimensions, they may be exceeded in any direction. However, the maximum permissible air gap
between the sensor and the pole wheel will not increase.

1.7 Signal Transmission
The possible transmission distance is essentially determined by the highest occurring signal
frequency, the properties of the transmission line and the input of the connected receiving
device.
When connected to our equipment for fixed installation, signal frequency of 25000 Hz can be
safely transmitted over a distance of up to 500 m. If the signal frequency is lower, a corres-
pondingly longer transmission distance applies. The cable is based on a 3-core or 4-core
shielded version LiYCY or LiTCT with 3x0.5 mm2or 4x0.5 mm2, as supplied by us (R <36 Ohm /
km, C <150 pF / m).
The signal frequency in Hz is calculated with a uniformly divided profile by:
Number of poles x speed / 60.
For narrow poles, the effective frequency must be set higher in accordance with the relationship
between pole and gap.
Important in the transmission:
A continuous good shielding must be provided. The shield must be connected directly to a shield
rail on the receiving side. Never transmit multiple signals under one common screen!
Lay transmission line separately from sources of interference.
