3000 series
Premium Hall effect joysticks
The 3000 Series is the very latest generation in high precision contactless joysticks. With a class leading
installed depth of <20mm, it is available in 1, 2 or 3 axes formats. Long trouble-free life is assured with
the latest hall effect technology, providing a range of analog signals or custom PWM output options.
The 3000 Series also delivers a radically improved mechanism construction that is specifically designed
for increased robustness, strength and performance.

second set of outputs are accurate to the first within +/-5% of the power supply. The power supply and center tap for the
secondary outputs are also completely independent.
• CONFIGURATION

joystick operates on 5V and provides two outputs per axis of the same polarity for example Y, Y & X, X. The
• CONFIGURATION
4
The secondary outputs are of inverse polarity to the primary wipers for example X, -X & Y, -Y. The first and
second outputs can be summed and compared to Center Tap to verify that the joystick is operating correctly.
• CONFIGURATION
5
Operating on a 5V supply the 3000 Series may be selected with a variety of PWM output options. For
more details on the type of outputs available please refer to Apem.
Note: The 3.3V supply is created by additional DC/DC conversion within the joystick and therefore the power consumption is
greater than a 5V supplied product.

HANDLE AND BEZEL OPTIONS
For drop in mounting, please specify bezel option 6 or 7. For sub-panel mounting, no bezel is necessary, unless the boot is
required to seal to the face of the panel in which case bezel option 4 should be specified. Further mounting information
including panel cutouts are shown on the following pages.
