Wheel Speed Magnetic Sensor

The VLCD5 uses a magnetic pickup and a spoke mounted magnet to determine wheel revolutions.

This combined with the wheel diameter allows calculation and display of current speed. The

magnetic pickup is also used for calculating distance travelled.

The magnetic pickup is mounted to the cycle frame and the spoke magnet passes the pickup in

close proximity on each rotation of the wheel.

Around 5 to 10mm between the pickup and the magnet is ideal but care should be taken to ensure

there is no physical contact between them at any steering position or under any braking conditions.

The pickup has an arrow to indicate the correct passing point for the magnet.

The magnetic pickup yellow connector should be connected to the short cable from the motor

housing that has a yellow band at the base of the connector. (There is only one cable from the

motor that has this yellow band).

If you have the optional 'Y' splitter connector as shown in the image: The second yellow plug can

be used to allow remote control of 6 Volt external lights. Both plugs on the 'Y' splitter have the

same pinouts and either plug can be used for the motor housing yellow band connector or the 6

Volt external lights. Lighting cable is shown below.
