This device uses infrared technology to sense distance between itself and the nearest surface between 8 and 60 inches. Our version of this sensor includes a conditioner to fully buffer and scale the signal to the industry standard voltage range of 0.25-4.75 Volts, perfect for the Teabox.

As with all of our sensors, we have taken care to make certain that this sensor is of high quality. For the hacker or do-it-yourselfer we also offer a “project version” of this sensor (see the specification sheet for more details), which comes at a reduced price.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This sensor draws a lot more power than most sensors. This results in the Teabox being limited to handling 3 of these sensors at a given time. There are solutions to work around this. Please contact us if you require further information.
