PowerBox Systems MagSensor Instruction Manual page 2

Dear customer,
we are delighted that you have decided to purchase our „magnetic" On / Off
switch.
The MagSensor represents an alternative method of operating and switching our
PowerBox battery backers. The circuit is based on modern, extremely sensitive,
zero-contact „Hall sensors", which respond to a defined magnetic field by activa-
ting the electronic switches in the PowerBox. The Hall sensors do not switch the
current, but simply pass on the switching signal.
Description:
This accessory is suitable for all PowerBox systems, regardless of age, which are
designed to be switched on and off using the SensorSwitch. The basic purpose
of the MagSensor is to switch the dual power circuits on and off, but it can also
be used to reset the capacity display fitted to more recent systems, if this is an
integral feature of the PowerBox. The SensorSwitch must still be used for pro-
gramming servos and carrying out set-up tasks within the PowerBox's program-
ming menu. The particular advantage of the MagSensor is that scale pilots can
exploit all the advantages of our redundant battery backer systems, but without
an exposed On/Off switch.
The magnetic trigger is powerful enough to penetrate reliably through thick GRP/
CFRP walls panels, even if they are several millimetres thick.
In addition to a pair of green LEDs for visual monitoring, the MagSensor features
a supplementary Piezo sounder, which confirms the On/Off switching process by
means of beeps of different pitch.
The ribbon cable is the same standard length as that of the SensorSwitch.
