1 Hertz GPS Velocity Sensors
SkyTrak is a GPS based velocity sensor that
produces true ground speed pulses to equipment
designed to interface with radar ground speed and
wheel speed sensors. SkyTrak can be quickly
transferred from vehicle to vehicle, provides high
accuracy, and is easy to install and use. Simply
make the connection to your monitor/control
equipment, perform the same calibration you would
use for other pulse sensors, and you're ready to go.

Summary of Contents for Skytrak SK2-1001-M

  • Page 1 SK2-1001-D, SK2-1001-M, & SK2-1001-R 1 Hertz GPS Velocity Sensors Form IOM-SK2-1001, Rev.03 SkyTrak is a GPS based velocity sensor that produces true ground speed pulses to equipment designed to interface with radar ground speed and wheel speed sensors. SkyTrak can be quickly transferred from vehicle to vehicle, provides high accuracy, and is easy to install and use.
  • Page 2 SkyTrak harness. To simplify installation, a 1-pin crimp-on connector is provided. Using the connector will also make it easy to unplug the SkyTrak if it needs to be removed. Ground, or the power minus connection, is provided through the controller's speed sensor interface connector which must be a proper ground.
  • Page 3 Selecting the Pulse Output Rate The pulse rate for the SkyTrak is factory set to 58.94 PPS (pulses per second) / MPH (mile per hour). This setting will be suitable for most applications. If your application requires a different rate, a small jumper under the SkyTrak cover allows the pulse output rate to be changed.
  • Page 4 Maintenance To gain access to the jumper and/or backup battery, remove the four small screws on the underside of the SkyTrak unit. Do not remove the Magnet screw in the center of the unit. Cover Screws (4) Magnet Screw To change the jumper position, remove the jumper and re-install it vertically, in line with the desired Position Number.
