Infrared break-beam sensors efficiently and discreetly detect motion through a simple yet effective process. Comprising an emitter that projects a beam of infrared light and a receiver sensitive to this light, these sensors activate when an object interrupts the beam, generating a signal. This makes them an ideal choice for various automated applications.
This particular IR break beam sensor offers reliable performance with a detection range of up to 4 meters. A quick response time of just 0.5 milliseconds ensures accurate and timely detection. Its compact design allows for easy installation, even in tight spaces, enhancing its versatility in different environments.
Designed to operate in temperatures ranging from -10°C to 60°C, this sensor maintains functionality under varied conditions. Powered by a DC 5V input, it integrates seamlessly with Arduino microcontrollers for diverse project needs. Whether employed for simple motion detection, speed assessment, or timing applications, this sensor delivers precision and dependability.
