### Electronic Features & Signal Output
The model suffix **"-R00"** is critical for understanding its electronic behavior:
1. **Sensor Type (R00):** This indicates a **Locked Rotor Alarm (Sensor)**. Unlike the "F00" models which provide a Tachometer/Frequency output (Speed sensing), the "R00" provides a logic signal that triggers only when the fan stops spinning.
2. **Signal Logic:**
* **Normal Operation:** The sensor output is usually pulled "Low."
* **Locked Condition:** If the blades are obstructed, the internal circuitry pulls the signal "High" (or stays open-collector) to alert the system of a failure.
3. **Circuit Protection:**
* **Polarity Protection:** Prevents damage if the positive and negative leads are reversed.
* **Locked Rotor Protection:** Automatically shuts down or reduces power to the motor coils if the fan is stalled to prevent overheating.

### Physical & Material Composition
* **Dimensions:** 60mm x 60mm x 20mm.
* **Frame/Impeller:** Plastic (UL 94V-0), which is flame retardant.
* **Wiring:** Typically 3-wire lead wires:
* **Red:** Positive (+12V)
* **Black:** Negative (GND)
* **Blue:** RD (Rotation Detector) Signal.
### Applications
Due to its **Dual Ball Bearing** construction, this fan is designed for high-longevity applications (approx. 70,000 hours at 40°C). It is commonly found in:
* Network switches and routers.
* Server power supplies.
* Industrial control cabinets.
