The Sensing and Control Business of Honeywell has introduced the SR16/SR17 Series Hall Effect Vane Sensors, designed for speed- and position-detection applications.
Typical applications for these products include compassing, navigation systems, attitude reference, magnetic anomaly detection, laboratory instrumentation and traffic and vehicle detection.
The HMD5000 displays heading, pitch, roll and status information when connected to the HMR3000 Digital Compass Module.
When connected to the HMR2300 Smart Digital Magnetometer, magnetic field readings in the X, Y, and Z directions, as well as the magnitude of all three axes combined will be displayed.
The Hand Held Display uses a 9-volt battery to power both the display and the Honeywell magnetic sensor module to which it is connected.
The HMD5000 is a new addition to Honeywell's range of magnetic sensor products that includes magnetometers and sensing components for a wide range of applications requiring high sensitivity.
All of these Honeywell products are based on magnetoresistive technology and are used to detect and measure changes in earth's magnetic field.
The HMD5000 is manufactured at the Solid State Electronics Center located in Plymouth, Minnesota.
