IR Sensor (Long Range)

This is an Infrared Transmitter and receiver which together make up a photoelectric sensor.

The sensor has a long detection distance, and has less interference by visible light because it uses modulated Infrared light. This sensor has a screwdriver adjustment to set the detected distance, then gives a digital output when it senses something within that range. This sensor does not return a distance VALUE.

Pin Outs:

• RED: +5 VDC
• GREEN: Ground
• YELLOW: Output: Open Collector Pulldown: Use 10K Pullup resistor to +5V
