Uncommon sense.
Honeywell Safety and Productivity Solutions
(S&PS) offers environmentally sealed proximity sensors in a
variety of technologies — including Eddy Current Killed Oscillator
(ECKO) and Hall-effect. Once a metallic object is detected
in front of the sensing face, a signal is passed through the
conditioning circuitry to give an output configured according to
the sensor application.
These rugged, one- or two-piece products are designed to
meet demanding temperature, vibration, shock, and EMI/EMP
interference requirements, and are available in a number of
housing materials and termination styles. Multiple potential
applications are found in the harsh environments of aerospace
(landing gear position, doors and slides, monitoring systems),
ordnance (projectile sensing, ammunition loading systems) and
marine (submarine hatch and door position, offshore equipment).
FEATURES
PROXIMITY SENSORS
RDS80004 Series.
Features:
2-wire dc inductive • Output
current is proportional to the applied
voltage and is designed to operate at
a nominal 16 Vdc with a 1 kOhm load
• Results in an output of 8 mA when no
wheel is detected, and 2 mA when a
wheel is detected • Available in high and
low frequency versions
Benefits:
Non-contact detection of rail
wheel flanges at speeds up to 500 km/h.
Ease of installation, electrically robust.
Enhanced life, low “in track” maintenance.
Supports extended lineside transmission
distances. Facilitates use in wheel
detection systems and fault diagnosis.
Potential applications include train
detection (presence, direction, speed),
train direction detectors, and train axle
counters.
RDSA Series.
Features:
Train detection without track
circuits • Directional and non-directional
operating modes • Requires two wheel
detections to validate train presence
• Solid state technology • Self monitoring
• Can detect train direction or position
• Can detect sensor and power supply
faults
Benefits:
Enhanced reliability. Reduces
risk of error. Often eliminates problems
with leaves, rust, snow, salt, grit, dust,
and oil on rails. No rail cutting, drilling, or
insulation is required if clamps are used.
Can be installed in parallel with the old
system, creating minimal changeover time.
Potential applications include crossing
gate closure on train approach (non
fail-safe), train detection for monitoring
systems, and wagon location/direction in
marshalling yards.
RDSB Series.
Features:

Proximity Sensors Line Guide
Unprecedented value.
Honeywell S&PS has
developed a new inductive
sensor line for potential
transportation and industrial
applications. And every
proximity sensing part or
solution is infused with our
legendary quality:
Two-wire Vector Impedance
Technology:
Our patented
readout technique, when
used with our two-wire
proximity sensor, utilizes an
algorithm and temperature
compensation to provide
precision gap measurement.
Our proximity sensors have
enhanced reliability (over 5
million units and 25 million
flight hours for 340FW and
370 FW series).
Impressive breadth of line:
Honeywell S&PS meets the
need of any fragmented
market by offering several
types of sensors, making us
the “one-stop shop” versus
niche companies. What’s
more, products have been put
to use in the field for years.
Global Channel:
Honeywell
S&PS offers worldwide
support and manufacturing,
an important need in industrial
segments.
