DMC-A Converter: Fuel Flow Sensor

Details

This version is intended for fuel flow sensors which have a very low trigger level. Heavy filtering minimises the possibility of interference, resulting in significant variation of the trigger level with frequency.

The Dual Magnetic Converter (DMC) converts magnetic style signals to open collector output signals – a square wave. This makes a typical magnetic sensor behave as a switched or Hall Effect sensor, to make the signals suitable for use with MoTeC ECUs and loggers. This allows magnetic sensors to be used in applications where previously a Hall sensor was required, for example when using the digital inputs on an ECU to measure wheel speed. A single DMC can convert two independent magnetic sensor signals.

Frequently Asked Questions About DMC-A Converter: Fuel Flow Sensor

What is the specific purpose of the DMC-A version?

The DMC-A is a specialized version of the Dual Magnetic Converter intended specifically for fuel flow sensors that have very low trigger levels, requiring heavy filtering to prevent interference.

How does the DMC-A convert the sensor signal?

It converts analog magnetic (sine wave) signals into open collector (square wave) output signals. This makes a magnetic sensor behave like a Hall Effect sensor.

Why is this converter necessary for MoTeC ECUs?

Many MoTeC ECU digital inputs require a switched or Hall Effect signal to read frequency. This converter allows you to use magnetic sensors on those specific inputs.

How many sensors can a single DMC-A unit handle?

A single DMC-A module can convert two independent magnetic sensor signals simultaneously, allowing you to monitor feed and return flow, or two separate systems.

What is the benefit of the 'heavy filtering' on this unit?

Fuel flow environments can be electrically noisy. The heavy filtering minimizes the possibility of interference ensuring accurate readings, though it results in a variation of the trigger level relative to frequency.
