49E hall-effect sensor

The Analog Hall Effect Sensor Module uses the 49E sensor to detect North and South pole and relative strength of a magnetic field.

KEY FEATURES OF ANALOG HALL EFFECT MODULE

Use 49E analog Hall Effect sensor
Can differentiate between North and South pole of the magnet
Detects the strength of the magnetic field
3.3 or 5V operation
Hall Effect sensors detect the presence of a magnetic field and are commonly used for measuring the RPM of rotating assemblies where a magnet on the assembly alternately makes and breaks magnetic contact with the sensor as the assembly rotates. They can even be used to detect electrical current flow through conductors in some cases.This sensor utilizes an analog 49E sensor. With no magnetic field present, the sensor output rests at approximately 50% of Vcc. In the case of 5V power, the output will be about 2.5V when at rest. When a magnetic field comes near, the voltage will rise or fall depending on whether the south or north pole of the magnet is coming near. If a south pole of a magnet is placed near the front of the sensor (side with the labeling), the output voltage will linearly ramp up towards Vcc to a maximum of 4.2V. If the north pole of the magnet is presented, the voltage will linearly ramp down towards ground to a minimum of 0.86V. The amount of the voltage rise or fall will depend on the magnetic strength of the field.To use this analog sensor with a microcontroller, it should be hooked up to an analog input. The output will read approximately 1/2 Vcc with no magnetic field present. When a magnetic field approaches, the voltage will change linearly at a rate of 2.5mV / G. Gauss (G) is the unit of measure for magnetism.
