### 2. Electronic Interface & Signal Details
The suffix **-R00** is a specific Delta designation for the output signal provided by the fan's third wire.
* **Wiring Configuration:**
* **Red:** Positive (+12V)
* **Black:** Negative (GND)
* **Blue/White:** **R00 Sensor (Lock Sensor)**.
* **The R00 Function:** Unlike the "F00" (Tachometer/Speed sensor), the **R00** is a **Rotation Detector**.
* Under normal operation (fan spinning), the signal output is **Low**.
* If the fan stops (locked rotor), the signal output switches to **High**.
* This is primarily used as a "Fail-Safe" alarm for system controllers to detect hardware failure.

### 3. Internal Component Construction
* **Motor Type:** Brushless DC (BLDC) motor.
* **Commutation:** Electronic commutation provided by an internal Integrated Circuit (IC).
* **Protection Features:**
1. **Locked Rotor Protection:** The IC prevents the coils from burning out if the blades are physically obstructed.
2. **Polarity Protection:** Protects the internal circuitry if the positive and negative leads are accidentally reversed.
* **Materials:**
* **Impeller/Frame:** Plastic (UL 94V-0 rated), typically glass-fiber reinforced PBT.

### 4. Comparison of Signal Types
| Signal Suffix | Type | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **-F00** | Tachometer | Output pulses proportional to RPM (Speed monitoring). |
| **-R00** | Lock Sensor | Binary signal (High/Low) based on rotation status (Failure monitoring). |
| **Standard** | 2-Wire | No feedback signal; power and ground only. |
