The Sender Unit, integrated in the gearbox, transfersthe number of revolutions of a gearwheel into electri-cal pulses.The revolutions are captured by means of a Hall IC.The pulses supplied by the Hall IC are used by ta-chographs and on-board computers for capturingthe distance covered and the road speed.When using the integrated sender unit the speedo-meter shaft connection is no longer necessary.2159-20 is designed for heavy-duty purposes!Features• Touch-sensitive measuring procedure (Hall IC)• Integrated in the gearbox• Static measuring (zero-speed recognition)• Double pulse (inverted)• Can be sealed• Can be directly connected to the vehicleelectric system• Recognition of sense of rotation (2 sensors)• 7 different lenghts to comply with thedifferent types of gearboxesApplications• For tachographs/EC tachographs KTCO 1318,FTCO 1319 and MTCO 1390 NEC• Generally for devices requiring an electrical pulse(double pulse, inverted) for road speed and/ordistance measuring.www.vdo.comSender Unit2159-20 (stat.)
