It uses an infrared emitter and receiver in one unit to detect objects passing through its beam, making it ideal for gate automation, security systems, and object counting. Its rugged IP65-rated enclosure ensures consistent performance in harsh weather conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDetection Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 5 meters (with reflector)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupply Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12V - 24V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRelay (NO\/NC) and NPN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eResponse Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e≤ 10ms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIngress Protection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP65\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-20°C to +70°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Can Build With This\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAutomatic gate opener that detects vehicle presence\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePerimeter security system with beam interruption alerts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/kit-industrial-object-counter-kit\"\u003eIndustrial conveyor belt object counter\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGarage door safety sensor to prevent closing on obstacles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sensor works seamlessly with microcontrollers such as Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi, accepting a wide input voltage range. Pair it with a relay module or connect directly to GPIO pins using the NPN output. Perfect for integration with automation controllers and PLCs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWiring Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnect the power wires (brown and blue) to a 12-24V DC supply. For NPN output, connect the black wire to a microcontroller input with an external pull-up resistor (10kΩ to 5V). Avoid exceeding the current rating of the relay output (typically 1A at 24V DC).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Compoden\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing.
