The RPM sensor is an accessory of the high voltage speed controller.

Function

It detects the voltage changes at the wires of brushless motor, and then outputs the RPM signal. Not only this RPM sensor can work with Hobbywing HV esc but some other speed controllers for helicopters as well. And one of its typical applications is to work as the RPM sensor for V-Bar system made by Mikado (www.mikado-heli.de).

Specifications

1. Size: 23mm(L)*10mm(w)*2mm(H)
2. Weight: 6g (Input and output wires are included)
3. Working voltage: 3.5V to 8.4V(1S to 2S Lipo)
4. Current: 1 to 5mA
5. Voltage range of the motor wires: 2 to 16S Lipo
6. RPM range (for 2 poles brushless motor): 1000rpm to 300000rpm

How to Use

The lead A and lead B is connected to any 2 wires of the brushless motor (Do not need to consider about the polarity). The lead C is a three color wires with a connector at the end, the black wire is the ground wire, the red wire is connected to 3.3V or 5V to supply the sensor, and the white wire outputs RPM signal.
