Book Description:
Ian Sinclair provides the practical know-how required by technician engineers, systems designers, and students in this book. The focus is firmly on understanding the technologies and their different applications, not a mathematical approach. The result is a highly readable text which provides a unique introduction to the selection and application of sensors, transducers, and switches and a grounding in the practicalities of designing with these devices. The devices covered encompass heat, light and motion, environmental sensing, sensing in industrial control, and signal-carrying and non-signal switches. Get up to speed on this key topic through this leading practical guide. Understand the range of technologies and applications before specifying. Gain a working knowledge with a minimum of maths.
