Advantages of REED switches magnetic sensors ?
Main advantages are the following: • No power supply is needed. There is no power consumption when the switch is OFF and it provides a real galvanic insulation. There is no voltage drop at ON state. • It can be used in harsh environment: dust, water, … • Distances for detection can be very large. This depends on the REED switch sensitivity, but mainly on the magnet. • Very price effective compared to all of the existing technologies.
