Overview
Long Distance Reflective Switch
This sensor uses an Infrared LED and Photologic® sensor in a reflective switch configuration with an opaque housing to reduce the sensors ambient
light sensitivity. A window, clear to near infrared wavelengths, protects the emitter and sensor allowing operation in a dusty environment.
While an object is in the reflective path of the device, the output NPN transistor is ON providing a low voltage output when connected to appropriate value pull-up resistor. When the Infrared light from the LED is not reflected back to the sensor, the output transistor turns OFF, minimizing the IC(ON) current, providing a High output.
- Up to 24 or more reflective distance depending on object
