<p>This device uses infrared technology to sense distance between itself and the nearest surface between 40 and 200 inches (~1m to 5m). 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.</p> <p>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 &#8220;project version&#8221; of this sensor (see the specification sheet for more details), which comes at a reduced price.</p> <p><strong>IMPORTANT <span class="caps">NOTE</span>:</strong> This sensor draws a little more power than some of our other sensors. The Teabox can easily accommodate 4-6 and has been known to run 8 at once. However, since it&#8217;s power usage fluctuates, running that many at one time may max out the power usage. If so, there are solutions to work around this. Please contact us if you require further information.</p> 2009-02-20T07:06:20-06:00 infrared-distance-sensor-5m 5416242 Sensor 2009-02-20T07:35:38-06:00 2009-02-20T07:44:32-06:00 Electrotap distance, infrared, proximity, sensor This device uses infrared technology to sense distance between itself and the nearest surface between 40 and 200 inches (~1m to 5m).
