Description
Small sensor for measuring motor speed or other objects that can pass through the detectors slots. Each time an object blocks the light from passing from one side of the slot to the other, a pulse is produced at the output. The output signal is pre-conditioned using a comparator to provide a clean low or high signal.
* Reader opening: 10(h) x 12.5(w) mm
* Supply voltage: 3.3 – 5V
* Output: Low or High
* Dimensions: 23 x 20mm
* Mounting holes ø3.2mm, c-c 14mm
