Paddle controllers

Overview

OUTPUT OPTIONS

The BF series Paddle is configured as two “electrical” controls in one mechanical package. The Paddle operates

from 5V and provides two proportional outputs. The second output is accurate to the first within ±3% of the

power supply. The power supply for the secondary output is also completely independent. Customers may

choose their preference of voltage outputs (gains).

The secondary output can be of the same or inverse polarity to the primary wiper. For example, with a

secondary inverse output, the first and second outputs can be summed and compared to zero to verify that the

joystick is operating correctly. Paddles having two identical outputs of the same polarity may be used to drive

two identical dual redundant circuits.

There are also two Hall effect switches that trigger at pre-determined lever positions.

The BF series Paddle may be specified with a variety of PWM output options. For more details on available

PWM options please refer to APEM.

ADDITIONAL OUTPUT INFORMATION

SELECTABLE SWITCHING POINTS

The Paddle incorporates two Hall effect switches. The angle of the lever at the switch trigger point can be

selected when ordering.

If no switches are specified then the output on pins 2 and 7 will be unused.

The outputs are configured as ‘open drain’ type with a 1K5 pull up resistor to 5V.

GAIN OPTIONS

The voltage output on the wiper, at full scale deflection is determined by the gain. The gain is expressed as a

percentage of the voltage supplied. Therefore (assuming a 5V supply) a Paddle specified with ± 25% gain

would yield 1.25V at South, 2.5V at center and 3.75V at North. A range of gain options are available as

standard. All controls are supplied pre-set and no further calibration is needed throughout the lifetime of

operation.

OUTPUT IMPEDANCE

The voltage outputs at center and at each end of travel are specified across an infinite load, with no current

flowing. The output impedance specified in the electrical specification should be taken into account when

designing a system. Load resistance of less than 10K Ohms is not recommended.

HANDLE OPTIONS

The BF series offers two standard handle options. The taller (74mm) handle provides the most ergonomic

solution while the shorter (50mm) is best suited to hand held applications where a minimized height is

preferred. The taller lever is supplied with the top insert prefitted, however the shorter lever may be specified

with no insert fitted and the snap in inserts supplied loose for ease of customer integration.

Note: All snap in inserts may only be fitted once, and are not removable once fitted.

Paddle controllers

Overview

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 regu-

lated 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 minimize 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.
