Product Details
This amazing proximity sensor works by measuring the reflected infrared (IR) energy to detect objects within a distance ranging from 5mm to 100mm. It outputs high or low levels and comes with great advantages like strong anti - interference ability, fast response, and a compact size. This makes it super easy to embed in various detection devices such as automatic hand washers, smart taps, smart toilets, smart restrooms, and object proximity switches. The sensor also has a housing with mounting holes. When used in scenarios where it might contact water, like smart taps and automatic hand washers, you can design a proper installation to ensure waterproofing. It features no mechanical parts, is electrically controlled, and has strong stability. It can resist external light interference well. With its small size, it's a breeze to install. It's suitable for automatic hand washers, smart taps, and any home appliances or devices that need proximity detection. Specifications include an operating voltage of 5V, a high/low level output, an operating current of less than 30mA, power consumption of less than 100mW, a response time of 100µs, a sensing range from 5mm to 100mm, an operating temperature from - 20 to 75°C, a storage temperature from - 20 to 80°C, a lifetime of 50000h, and an operating humidity of less than 70%. There's also a product wiki available. The shipping list includes one Infrared Proximity Sensor.
Using this infrared proximity sensor is quite simple. First, connect it to your Arduino with an operating voltage of 5V. Make sure the connection is secure. Once connected, it will start detecting objects within the range of 5mm to 100mm and output high or low levels accordingly. When installing, take advantage of the mounting holes in the housing. If you're using it in a place where it might get wet, like near a smart tap or an automatic hand - washer, design a waterproof installation. As for maintenance, keep it clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures outside the range of - 20 to 75°C. If it's not in use, store it in a place with a temperature between - 20 and 80°C and humidity less than 70%. This sensor has a long lifetime of 50000 hours, but if you notice any issues, refer to the product wiki for more information.
