Speed Sensor Range VBSS05 – VBSS100

The VBOX Speed Sensor Range

Based on a range of high accuracy GPS engines, VBOX Speed Sensors offer the ultimate non-contact measurement solution. With 5Hz, 10Hz, 20Hz, and 100Hz GPS update rate options available, the Speed Sensor range suits a variety of budgets and requirements. All units are also compatible with the DGPS Basestation for increased positional accuracy.

The units all have the same small hardware footprint, at only 9cm long, making mounting and transportation easy. The Speed Sensors are perfect for automotive testing, motorsport, marine, telematics, and data-logging applications. The IP66 rating means that each unit is water and dustproof, allowing them to be used in a variety of conditions.

Data output is via CAN Bus, offering easy integration with data loggers and testing applications.

Each speed sensor also features analogue and digital outputs. The analogue output can be assigned to vehicle speed, lateral acceleration, longitudinal acceleration, or lap beacon marker with user selectable scaling. The digital output can be configured as either a digital speed pulse output or a lap beacon marker.
