Filter fan sensor

• protects expensive equipment
• microprocessor-based

The D6A filter sensor contains a microprocessor with complex algorithms that provide a temperature reference point to determine if a filter fan is moving the right amount of air. If the sensor indicates that it isn’t, then an alert tells the user the filter is clogged. With its sensing capabilities, this unit provides reliability protection, ensuring the dependability of continued operation of expensive equipment. The unit operates between 0° and 45°C and the supply voltage is 12 VDC ±10%. Its current consumption maximum is 60 mA and the output voltage is 5V. This clogged filter sensor is suited for servers, high-end routers and network devices. Other applications include uninterruptible power supplies, cash registers and other types of machines that use filter fans. Omron Electronics LLC, Schaumburg, IL.   www.rsleads.com/211df-164

Trim seals
