Q: There are so many different versions available for the Z Series
subminiature, precision switches (ZM, ZW, ZV and ZX). How do I tell what catalog listing I want?
A: In order to help identify the best Z Series solution for your application, we created a nomenclature chart referencing options for all 4 Z Series listings. You may order either
Z Series plus V7 cataloging scheme (001024-1-EN) or for Europe,
Z Series plus V5 cataloging scheme (001023Z-1-EN).

Welcome
Automotive Sensors Improve Engine Performance and
Fuel Economy
Ever wonder what that “Check Engine" light is in your
vehicle, other than a sign that you need to see your
mechanic?
It’s a good chance that a Honeywell sensor has detected a
problem in your engine!
A Honeywell Crank Position sensor is used for misfire detection.
A misfire occurs when the air/fuel mixture does not fully
combust. This can lead to a damaged catalytic converter, wasted
fuel and additional emissions. The highly accurate crank sensor
detects the precise rotation/position of the crankshaft. The
engine vibration that occurs with a misfire is enough for the
crank sensor to detect a change in the signal.
The Crank Sensor also is used for timing the correct fuel/spark
sequences for each engine cylinder.
A Honeywell Power-Up Cam Position sensor is used for engine
quick-start. When a driver turns the key (power-up), the
Power-Up Camshaft Position sensor instantly detects the camshaft
position. The position of the camshaft tells the engine
controller which cylinders are compressing and which are
exhausting. The correct fuel/spark signals are then sent to the
correct pistons for engine start.

ASDXL and ASDXL-DO Low Pressure Sensors
 Honeywell Sensing and Control has introduced two new pressure sensors based on our industry-leading SDX technology designed for precision pressure management at low-pressure measurements.
Potential applications for the ASDXL and ASDXL-DO include medical equipment, HVAC controls, barometry and pneumatic controls.The sensors feature on-board Application Specific Integrated Circuitry (ASIC) and a digital output,
promoting higher clarity and better response times. The sensors allow easy interfacing to most commonly used microcontrollers
and microprocessors.
For details, request our
ASDXL or
ASDXL-DO product sheet.
RoHS Compliance Program Update
Work
is progressing on all affected products to complete compliance
in advance of the Directive's (2002/95/EC) July 1, 2006
deadline. We anticipate that a large majority of products will
be compliant by year-end 2005. However, compliance completion
dates will differ from one product family to the next.
We will endeavor to keep you informed about our progress and any new
processes we may introduce to support RoHS implementation or
other environmental enhancements we may make to our products.
Additionally, our RoHS compliance status database on
ICOM
is regularly updated with the latest
product information.

Aircraft Door Proximity Sensor
Our
Aircraft Door Proximity Sensor provides high reliability in
various extreme conditions, with a temperature range from -55 to +85
degrees C. The all-metal sensor features hermetic sealing, low
weight and low power consumption. Used with a ferrous metal
target and a Honeywell Aerospace and Electronic Systems computer
unit, the system indicates whether an aircraft door is open or
closed by sensing the absence and presence of the target. The
sensors may be suitable for commercial and military aerospace
applications.
For more information, request our
Aircraft Door
Proximity Sensor product sheet.

Magnetic Non-Contact Sensing: Today & Next Generation
Magnetic
non-contact sensing has evolved dramatically; even the
definition of what constitutes a non-contact sensor varies based
on manufacturer and region. Honeywell and Penton Publications
are pleased to sponsor a Web seminar on non-contact sensing –
The Next Generation.
Tune in Dec. 14th to hear:
• How magnetic non-contact sensing has changed and where the
technology is headed.
• An in-depth review of magnetic sensing solutions and how
recent developments often enhance position sensing accuracy where
tolerance of position in the x, y and z planes is required in an
application.
Register for this Webcast to find out how, and to ask the
experts first-hand!
