Introducing the IR Proximity Sensor Module
Detect objects and obstacles effortlessly with the IR Proximity Sensor Module. Ideal for a variety of applications, this sensor uses infrared light to detect nearby objects without physical contact, making it perfect for obstacle avoidance in robots, automatic doors, parking aids, security alarm systems, and contactless tachometers for measuring RPM of rotating objects like fan blades.
- Non-Contact Detection: Senses the presence of nearby objects using infrared radiation without physical contact.
- Adjustable Sensitivity: Fine-tune the detection range from 2cm to 10cm using the onboard potentiometer.
- Wide Detection Angle: 35° detection angle ensures reliable object detection.
- Visual Feedback: Green indicator light on the circuit board lights up when an obstacle is detected.
- Versatile Output: The TTL output goes high when an obstacle is sensed, which can directly interface with microcontrollers or drive a 5V relay.
- Reliable Performance: Onboard comparator chip LM393 ensures stable and accurate detection.
- Easy Installation: 3mm screw holes for easy mounting in your projects.
- Detection Range: 2cm to 10cm
- Detection Angle: 35°
- Output Type: TTL
- Comparator Chip: LM393
- Dimensions: 48 x 14 x 8 mm (LxWxH)
- Weight: 3g
- Power Supply: 5V
Applications:
- Robotics: Implement obstacle avoidance systems in your robots for smoother navigation.
- Automatic Doors: Use in automatic door systems for touchless operation.
- Parking Aids: Integrate into parking systems to detect obstacles and assist in parking.
- Security Systems: Enhance security alarm systems by detecting unauthorized presence.
- Contactless Tachometers: Measure the RPM of rotating objects such as fan blades without physical contact.
How It Works:
The IR Proximity Sensor continuously emits infrared light. When an object comes within the detection range, the sensor detects the reflected infrared light and signals its presence through the TTL output and visual indicator. The detection sensitivity can be adjusted using the onboard potentiometer to suit specific application needs.
