SPSR Self Powered Sensor

The SPSR-115/230 Self Powered Sensor is a versatile device designed for triggering external equipment, such as vibration analyzers, spectrum analyzers, tachometers, and more. The system consists of the SPSR-IM Interface Module, a rechargeable battery-powered unit that provides power to the input sensor and generates a TTL-compatible pulse output. The input sensor, such as the ROS-P Remote Optical Sensor, features a visible red LED light source and is capable of detecting reflective pulses from a rotating target. The SPSR-IM Interface Module offers switch-selectable output polarity (0 to 5 V dc or 5 to 0 V dc) and can operate for over 40 hours on fully charged internal NiMH batteries. The unit can also be powered continuously from an external source using the provided recharger/power supply. LED indicators signal operational status, charging, and completion. The device is user-friendly with controls for power and output selection.
