I purchased the following 12VDC motor: http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a-store/item/dcm-467/12-vdc-60-rpm-window-motor/1.html for a project I listed in the projects forum (reversing motor control via DPDT relays).
Does anyone know this motor? Or, does anyone know what the Hall Effect Sensor role would be?
The motor is describes as a window motor, so I assumed it would be reversable. however, if I reverse the polarity, my 12V PC power source vuts off (assuming it shorts).
Then I did some reading about Hall Effect Sensors and believe, in a window motor, it would be used to sense when the motor is at top and at bottom. Is that correct? And, if so, do you think the motor, which has 4 wires instead of 2, sends a signal when at Top and when at bottom with the two additional wires? If so, i could most likely use that if I knew how it reacts.
Further, wouldn't you think a window motor is reversable?
Any help would be appreciated,
Rainer
