  I believe you connect it with the ground lead going to Vss and the positive lead going to an input on a microcontroller.· Basically you are reading high on the input every time it passes a magnet.

  Thank you for your reply.
  So, There is no need of a circuit for connecting this hall sensor to BS2SX.
  
  Thanks.

  Do you have the specifications for the Hall sensor?· If so, this will determine what is necessary.

  I have just clarified that the above element does not constitute a hall sensor but a magnetic switch. Therefore, please advise
  if a relevant circuit is necessary in order to connect it to Bs2sx microcontroller. The desired scope of this switch is to detect relevant
  magnetic field in order to, forthwith upon detecting, activate accordingly a port of the micro controller
  i.e. IF(IN10=1) THEN
  OUT11=1 ELSE
  OUT11=0
  
  ENDIF
  ,where port10 : Magnetic switch
  port11 : Alarm
  
  Thanks
