Infrared Proximity Sensor

This document describes an infrared object detection sensor that uses modulated infrared signals to detect obstacles within a range of 2-8 cm without physical contact. The sensor outputs a low signal if an object is detected and is powered by 5V with low current consumption. It has adjustable sensitivity and is compatible with microcontrollers like Arduino.

Infrared Object Detection Sensor

IR-TR-10

INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW

This Medium Range Infrared sensor offers simple, user friendly and fast
obstacle detection using infrared; it is non contact detection. The
implementations of modulated IR signal immune the sensor to the
interferences caused by the normal light of a light bulb or the sun
light.

The sensing distance can be adjusted manually. The product features


include:

• 5V powered, low current consumption, less than 10mA.


• 3 pin interface which are signal, GND and 5V.
• Small LED as indicator for detection status.
• Obstacle detection up to 8 cm
• Adjustable sensing range (2cm – 8cm).
• Small size makes it easy to assembly.
• Single bit output
• Compatible with all types of microcontrollers and Arduino

Dimension: 2.6cm x 2cm

PRODUCT SPECIFICATION AND LIMITATIONS

Infrared sensor uses special sensor to modulate IR signal emitted from 2 IR


transmitters and detects the modulated IR signal reflected back from a
nearby object.

This sensor has a built-in IR LED driver to modulate the IR signal at 38KHz
to match the built-in detector. The modulated IR signal immunes the sensor
from the interferences caused by the normal light of a light bulb or the sun
light. The module will output a HIGH if no object is detected and a LOW if
an object is detected.

Sensitivity

The Medium Range Infrared Sensor has a sensing range of approximately


2cm to 8cm. The sensitivity can vary with the reflectivity of the object and
the ambient lighting. The modulated IR signal will reflect more on white
surface and reflect less on black surface.

The sensor is designed to adjustable sensing range. User may adjust


sensing range by using the preset on infrared sensor for different
application.

A – is a signal indicators LED for infrared sensor. The LED will turn ON
when signal is detected on IR sensor.

B – are 2 IR transmitters, the output IR signal is modulated at 38Khz.

C – is IR sensor. This sensor modulates IR signal emitted from 2 IR


transmitters and detects the modulated IR signal reflected back from a
nearby object.

D – is a 1K Ohm preset for user to adjust the sensing range. The sensing
range is 2cm – 8cm. (Performance of the sensor will vary with the
reflectivity of the object and the ambient lighting.)

E – is a hole to solder and connect the power supply to IR. User may
supply 4V-6V to IR, the typical voltage is 5V.

F – is a hole to solder and connect Ground to IR. User may connect the
GND(-) of IR to the Ground (0V) of the control board.

G – is a hole to solder and connect the output signal from IR. User may
connect the signal pin(s) from IR to an I/O pin of microcontroller which set
to INPUT mode. The output signal of IR is LOW or 0V when an object
detected.
