Transmitter and receiver in one photoelectric sensor. The sensor has an adjustable detection distance and visible light interference. It is easy to use and is ideal for panel mounting.
We also stock a bracket, which is perfect for easy mounting of the sensor (HCSENS0007) and also allows easy mounting to one of our robot smart cars.

Electrical Characteristics:
Supply Voltage: 5VDC
Supply Current: The 100mA
Range: 3-80CM

Size: 17mm x 45mm
Lead Length: 45cm

Wire colour codes:
BRN = 5V
BLU = GND
BLK = OUT

Output:
High = triggered

LED:
On when not triggered


Setup instructions:
With nothing obstructing the sensor adjust the multi-turn screw at rear of sensor until the LED switches from off to on. The sensor should then be calibrated for its current environment.


PLEASE NOTE: As this is an infra-red sensor it can be affected external sources of infra-red light such as sunlight.

Maximum range will be affected be environmental conditions and reflectiveness of sensed object

  4.  
  5. This is a simple example of how to use the Hobby Components obstacle avoidance
  6. sensor module (HCSENS0006).
  7.  
  8. The sensor accepts a GND and +5V supply, and has a single digital output
  9. which goes high (5V) when an object is in range of the sensor.
  10.  
  11. This example sketch will simply output a message to the UART when it
  12. senses this pin going high.
  13.  
  14. SENSOR PINOUT:
  15. Blue:     GND
  16. Brown:  +5V
  17. Black:   Digital pin 2
