PowerBox Systems GmbH MagSensor Magnetic Power Switch

Introduction

The MagSensor represents an alternative technique of operating and switching our PowerBox battery backers. The circuit is based on modern, zero-contact "Hall sensors", which react to a magnetic field by activating the electronic switches in the PowerBox. The Hall sensors do not switch the current, but just hand down the switching signal.

This device is suitable for all PowerBox systems, no matter age, which are designed to be turned on and off using the SensorSwitch. The standard purpose of the MagSensor is to switch the double power circuits on and off, but it can likewise be utilized to reset the capacity screen fitted to more current systems, if this is an essential feature of the PowerBox. The SensorSwitch should still be utilized for programs servos and carrying out set-up tasks within the PowerBox's programs menu. The specific 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 permeate reliably through thick GRP / CFRP walls panels, even if they are several millimetres thick.

In addition to a set of green LEDs for visual monitoring, the MagSensor features a supplemental Piezo sounder, which validates the On / Off switching process by ways of beeps of different pitch.

The MagSensor still requires you to trigger both power circuits individually - as with all PowerBox systems. The reason behind this feature is that the PowerBox consists of 2 redundant switching and regulative systems. Different control likewise offers you the opportunity to inspect each of the PowerBox's power circuits individually - and this likewise uses to the MagSensor.

If you are using a PowerBox System with an essential capacity counter, the MagSensor can likewise be utilized to reset the recurring capacity screen.
