RPM Sensors

[sseaner]

On the Turbine XET helicopter, they are using these proximity sensors for rotor and engine RPM.  The rotor is 4 pulses per revolution and the engine is 2 pulses per revolution.  Can I configure these to work with the skyview?

There are multiple senders there and they all work a little different. Any of them can work fine with SkyView, but I can't tell you exactly how to wire them since I don't know which one you have.

In general, as long as you have a pulse where you are trying the measure the frequency, there is a 95% chance SkyView can read it. We can handle pulses per revolution from about .1 to 100 no problem.

What is the max voltage the input can take for this type of sensor?

The low voltage inputs can take about 30V, the high voltage inputs about 600V, assuming you aren't adding any resistors outside the unit.
