PHD User Manual
Overview
BEI Sensors introduces the Programmable Hall Device (PHD), an easy way to take control of custom-
izing BEI Hall effect sensors output. This compact system interfaces with your PC to BEI Hall effect
sensors and provides users with the ability to create output functions that meet specific requirements.
The system includes proprietary PHD software (compatible with Windows XP, 7 or Vista), the PHD
programming unit, power cord and a USB computer interface cable. Cables to interface the PHD to
specific sensor connectors are sold separately. A positions fixture is recommended if the sensors are
not programmed after installation in the final assembly
The PHD programming process uses simple 6-step procedure:
1. Install the PHD software.
2. Connect PHD equipment.
3. Connect the programmable sensor to the PHD Programmer using the Sensor Interconnect
Cable.
4. Run PHD application and create the configuration profile on a PC.
5. Verify parameters and configure the sensor by manually rotating the sensor through the
desired range of motion and selecting the programming points in the PHD application.
6. View output and verify the sensor is configured as desired.
