TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Detecting presence or
absence of rolling stock
Measuring speed of rolling
stock (in combination with a
second sensor)
Determining direction of
travel (with a second sensor)
The 926FS Series railwheel sensor is a 2-wire DC inductive proximity
sensor especially designed and constructed for sensing the wheel
flange of railed vehicles at speeds up to 281 mph (450 kmh). An
important feature of this sensor is quick installation it can be clamped
to the rail, with no need for drilling or machining. Other features are its
polarity independence and transient protection (2 kV, 1/50 s). The
sensor generates a current output. Each sensor consists of an
oscillator, demodulator and trigger circuit.
The high frequency oscillator has an open magnetic circuit. It
produces an alternating current, which in turn generates an electro-
magnetic field. A metal object, (i.e. a railwheel flange) entering the
airspace, affects this field, dampening the oscillator and reducing the
magnitude of the output current.
Note that in order to measure the speed or direction of rolling stock
motion, two sensors are mounted together. To prevent the oscillators
influencing one another, one low (L) and one high (H) frequency sensor
must be used.

WIRING DIAGRAM
The sensor is polarity neutral - connection of both
positive voltage and negative voltage can be made
to either leadwire. Ensure that the load limits the
maximum output current to 20 mA at all times.

Mounting distance:
Between sensors with same oscillating frequency: >0,25 m (0,8 ft.)
Between sensors with different oscillating frequencies 0,125 m (0.4 ft.)
Note: mounting sensors with different oscillating frequencies at the
minimum separation distance of 0,125 m provides an overlapping of
signals as the railwheel passes.
