TGSS True Ground Speed Sensors
The True Ground Speed Sensor (TGSS) belongs to the Parker family of accessories provided to complement electronic control systems. The sensor determines true ground speed using Doppler beam technology and reports the information using a frequency signal. The TGSS is intended for vehicle and other applications with a steady voltage of less than or equal to 16 Vdc. The general market versions of the sensor have a short cable with either an attached AMP Superseal or a Deutsch DT series connector.
The TGSS has an ABS plastic construction for sturdiness and corrosion resistance. The sensor uses planar antenna, Doppler effect technology for trouble free operation. A microwave signal transmitted out of the sensor is reflected off the target and received by the sensor. The ground speed is calculated by measuring the change in frequency. The sensor can be specified with one of 2 microwave carrier frequencies, either the standard frequency, or one suitable for the United Kingdom.
The TGSS mounts to a bracket on the underside of the vehicle where the sensor may be pointed in either the forward or reverse direction. Built to meet stringent SAE J1455/EP455 environmental standards, the sensor is very robust and able to withstand rugged applications.
