The KPP pulse pickup accepts a supply voltage and, in response to the speed of a permanently
magnetized speed ring on the motor’s cylinder block or shaft, outputs a digital pulse signal. The
output changes its high/low state as the north and south poles of the speed ring pass by the sensor’s
face. Because the output is digital, the KPP is ideal for low-speed measurement.
The KPP is designed for rugged outdoor, mobile, or heavy industrial speed-sensing applications that
do not allow contact with the rotating shaft. It is custom-designed for Sauer-Danfoss pumps and
motors.

Speed signal B

Theory of Operation
An external source powers the KPP pulse pickup (PPU). It needs a magnetic eld to pass by its Hall
switch(s) to provide a speed signal. The speed ring on the cylinder block has alternately magnetized
north and south segments. For the non-directional PPU (KPPX12X), when a north segment is above
the Hall switch, the switch output voltage is high, and when a south segment is above the switch,
output is low. The digital (on-o-on-o) pulse train feeds to a controller, that interprets its rate of
change as a speed.
The direction-sensing PPU (KPPA13X) uses two Hall sensors mounted side-by-side in the same case.
With proper orientation, the pulse train output from one sensor leads the other sensor by 90°. A logic
circuit decodes the two signals to give a direction indication at the speed output (high or low
depending on direction). For quadrature directional signal, the logic is bypassed and the direction
signal is phase shifted by a nominal of 90° from the signal A. Refer to Directional Pulse Train, on this
page below.
Do not attempt to apply a quadrature output PPU without rst consulting with a
Sauer-Danfoss eld applications engineer for specic application requirements.
The KPPC,D,E models are an improved version of the KPPA12X PPU. It is not necessary to align the ats
on its housing with the speed ring for proper speed readings.
Refer to Typical Speed Control, page 13, as an example of a simple closed-loop speed control
application for the PPU. Connections for a three and four-wire application, refer to Connection
Diagram, page 17.
The KPPXN8Nnn divides the standard signal output by two.

ImprovementsContinuous improvements to reduce environmental eects of moisture and corrosive liquids
found in some mobile environments include:
D Revision (June 1996)
y Use of a potting compound around the lead wires exiting the housing was eliminated.
– The sealing now works like an O-ring:
y The internal cavity of the housing was lled with a silicone oil. y The wires now pass through a molded rubber piece compressed between two plates.
E Revision (September 1996)
y Silicone oil was replaced with a rm compound.y External housing was changed to a zinc chromate nish.
F Revision (June 1999)
y The internal wire to the circuit board joint was modied. y A new seal received and the circuit board assembly was improved.
G Revision (February 2002)
y The housing is now machined from a solid block of aluminum-silicone-bronze.

Ordering Information
Considerations
When specifying the pulse pickup there are important considerations listed below. For KPP
selection see Ordering Nomenclature, page 9 and Part Number Quick Reference, pages 11 to 12.
Supply Voltage
You cannot power most KPP models directly from a battery because of the voltage transients
(voltage spikes above 15 Vdc) that may cause permanent damage. Battery voltage transients are a
common occurrence with 12 or 24 Vdc systems.
Most mobile systems have an alternator that helps ensure a given voltage level but does not
prevent against voltage transients. Therefore you must use a separate voltage regulator as the
voltage source for the majority of KPP models.
Those applications using a microcontroller can utilize their 5 Vdc regulated power supply to
power the KPP models that are rated 4.5 to 8.5 Vdc. It is acceptable when powering the 4.5 to 8.5
Vdc models to use a regulated 15 Vdc maximum.
Directional versus Non-directional KPPs
When sensing speed only and supplying the KPP directly from the battery, always specify a KPP
model that is rated 7 to 32 Vdc. If you require directional sensing, ensure the supply voltage is
regulated.
Housings
There are two basic housings at end and conical end. Refer to Dimensions, page 7.
4-wire KPP
The 4-wire KPP can be used when only speed sensing is required. For these applications connect
to pins A, B, C. Fill the unused cavity (D) with a cavity plug (refer to Common Lead Wire
Conguration (at end), page 7). Use the cavity plug oered in the 4 pin mating electrical
connector kit, which is used with the 4 pin Delphi/Packard Weather-Pack connector (SauerDanfoss part umber K03379).

System Wiring Guidelines1. Protect all wires from mechanical abuse. Run wire in exible metal or plastic conduits.
2. Separate high current wires such as solenoids, lights, alternators, or fuel pumps from control
wires.
3. Run wires along the inside of, or close to metal machine frame surfaces where possible. This
simulates a shield, which minimizes the eects of EMI/RFI radiation.
4. Do not run wires near sharp metal corners. Consider running the wire through a grommet
when rounding a corner.
5. Do not run wires near hot machine member or engine exhaust pipes
6. Provide strain relief for all wires.
7. Avoid running wires near moving or vibrating components.
8. Avoid long, unsupported wire spans.
9. Use harness anchors that allow wires to oat rather than rigid anchors.

The following steps require a 1/2 inch open end wrench with standard 22° oset and a Volt Ohm
Meter (VOM):
1. Installation
First ensure that KPP is installed correctly. There are distinct directional and installation
procedures, (reference Procedures for Flat End and Conical End Models, page 14 to 15).
2. Speed Signal
Check for speed output using a VOM. Place VOM across the ground and speed pins or
terminals, (reference Dimensions, page 7) and set VOM to the DC Volt scale and low range. To
check for an output, turn pump or motor very slowly by hand or check output just as the prime
mover is coming to a stop. Note a voltage pulse at meter. It will likely be dicult to read exactly,
simply note a pulse (approximately. 60 pulses per rev.). If there is no indication of a pulse,
replace KPP.
3. Directional Signal
Check for a direction signal change using a VOM. Use the same VOM setup as in the above
speed signal check. Turn the motor slowly and note a polarity change (±) on the VOM display as
you change the motor direction.
