Speed sensor voltage
Speed sensor voltage
Can anyone please tell me if the voltage that goes to the speed sensor input in an 808 ecu has to be 5 volts or can it handle 12 volts? I have an acewell reed switch I would like to use as a speed sensor which sends a 12 volt square wave compared to a Hall effect which I believe all have an output of 5 volts

Re: Speed sensor voltage
The 808 has 12V on A10 so your 12 volt square wave will work as long as it is pulled to ground as the vehicle moves.
Re: Speed sensor voltage
So your saying a10 has a constant voltage on it?

Re: Speed sensor voltage
A10 has 12V ignition via a pullup resistor, it varies with battery volts but that does not matter. So like kojab said, if your switch pulls to ground you get a 12V square wave which is fine - the factory speed sensor gives a 12V square wave on A10.

Re: Speed sensor voltage
Yes it has a constant 12V voltage on it but only when is is not being pulled to ground by the speed sensor.Danga81 wrote:So your saying a10 has a constant voltage on it?
