The operating range is between 0 and 5 volts.
Sun sensor location.
Analog sensor whose output signal is a continuous function of sun angle.
Disconnect sunload sensor connector.
1 check sunload sensor power supply.
These degrade over time sitting in the direct sun all the time.
As the sun load increases the voltage decreases.
The bison64 et is a fine sun sensor for high reliable satellites applications and qualified within esa development activities.
Genuine subaru part 73730sa001 73730sa000.
Field tests of the sun finder sensors.
Sun load sensor test.
A sun sensor is a device that senses the direction to the sun to measure the position of the sun or other light sources with respect to the sensor position.
In vehicle sensor component description in vehicle sensor the in vehicle sensor 1 is located on instrument lower panel lh.
The sun tracking sensors were experimented in operative conditions with direct exposition to the sun.
The sun load sensor is what controls the automatic headlights in the ford crownvictoria mercury grand marquis and many other ford products.
However the main advantage of pinhole sensor is to work on two axes while the slit sensor is a sun pointing system working only in one direction.
Most sunload sensors are the photodiode type which provides increased resistance as the light intensity increases so the signal from the sensor drops as the sun shines brighter.
It s on the dash usually close to the headlight sensor.
When they fail when not if the automatic headlights stay on all the time putting more strain on a fragile lcm lighting control module.
Sun sensors are usually classified into three types.
When checking sunload sensor select a place where sun shines directly on it.
View voltage readings in a capable scan tool datastream.
The sun sensor is designed for missions with demanding lifetime radiation thermal and mechanical requirements and can be used in leo meo geo and beyond.
Sunload sensor may register a malfunction when indoors at dusk or at other times when light is insufficient.
As sunlight increases the sensor s signal voltage decreases.
Sun load temperature sensor.
Sun presence sensor which provides a constant output signal.
