BF SERIES PADDLE - CONTACTLESS JOYSTICK & SWITCH
APPLICATION DETAILS
LATEST TECHNOLOGY
The design of the new BF Series Paddle, introduces many new features and manufacturing techniques.
POWER SUPPLY
The BF Series is designed to be powered by a regulated 5V+/- 0.5V power supply. The outputs are ratiometric, making a stable,
noise free, power supply essential. The power supply to the joystick should be carefully regulated to be within tolerance. Should
the power supply change outside of the specified tolerances, permanent damage may occur.
MAGNETIC IMMUNITY AND SYSTEM DESIGN
The BF Series incorporates internal magnetic screening to minimise the effect of external magnetic fields. Mounting or operating
the Paddle close to strong magnetic fields is not recommended. System designers should follow best practice when incorporating
the BF Series Paddle into their products. Care should be taken to decouple the power supply properly and to employ adequate
EMC shielding.
MOUNTING
When mounting the Paddle, care should be taken to site it in a position that does not make it vulnerable to damage when in use. If
the Paddle is intended for use in a handheld enclosure then care must be taken to protect the Paddle from damage caused by
dropping. Basic precautions such as mounting it at the lightest end of the enclosure so it doesn’t hit the ground first or by
protecting it with a guard should always be implemented for long term reliability. The body of the Paddle, on the underside of the
panel, must not be subject to water spray, excessive humidity or dust.
CALIBRATION
The BF Series is calibrated in the factory therefore no subsequent adjustments are required.
