Cigarette lighter socket sensor
FT-0801

The FT-0801 cigarette lighter socket sensor detects ignition noise of voltage from cigarette lighter socket sensor as rotation signal. Useful for signal detection from a cigarette lighter socket equipped in an automobile or construction machinery.
Rotation signal can be detected from a cigarette lighter socket by using the FT-0801 even if it is difficult to attach a rotation detector inside of an engine room.

Measurement example
Connect the FT-0801 to a cigarette socket lighter equipped in an automobile or construction machinery. The FT-0801 detects the ignition noise of the voltage from the cigarette lighter socket. Connecting to the FT-2500 (advanced tachometer) or the FT-7200 (handheld type advanced tachometer) enables rotation speed measurement. The FT-0801 can be used for 12 V or 24 V of battery voltage.
