Launch control sensor - Is this one OK ?

[biffco]

I have a proximity switch with the details -

Omron
TL-X2E1 -G
NPN NO

E1 -G

The diagram on it looks like this

Sensor 1.GIF (2.56 KiB) Viewed 8272 times

Can anyone confirm that this will be OK for a launch control sensor ?

What are you trying to do ?

Launch control is activated by a switch. It also requires an undriven wheel speed input. This need to be digital, ie hall effect, 3 wire.

these are general use if you have the space. ive seen some like you want to use on here, take a search on the forum for them.

I'm a bit confused - why / where do you use a proximity / movement sensor for launch control? Surely that is a switch to hold rpm to a pre-set whilst pedal is buried in the carpet? What happens after is traction control and then the above sensors come into play as wheel speed monitoring takes over?

[biffco]

This sensor monitors the non-driven wheel to asess the road speed. the ECU maintains the set rev-limiter until a preset speed is reached or until a set amount of time has lapsed.

[stevieturbo]

most commonly used is the GT101 sensor.

But any similar hall effect sensor will do. Not actually sure the one you listed falls into that category

The only reason I ask about this sensor is because I already have one

then just test it.

Is it a 3 wire hall effect sensor ? If so, then yes it will be suitable.

The above sensor is a Proximity sensor - Are they the same / similar ?

Either way, if I am to use the above http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/magnetic- ... -_-2355706 do I need to use a resistor ? If so what rating and connected to which wire ?

Again, explain exactly what you are trying to achieve ?

Are you looking to use this for a wheel speed sensor ?

If so, it needs to be 3 wire hall effect, and the wiring diagram will clearly be labelled for undriven wheel speed input.
