Digital Infrared Sensor(30cm) E18-B03N1 6-36VDC Adjustable for Arduino

General purpose NPN output infrared sensor that offered up to 30cm sensing distance. It can be used at automation machine, mobile robot for obstacle detecting. it is a 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.

Specification:

Diffuse reflective type
Light source: Infrared
Sensing range up to 30cm
Input voltage: 6-36VDC
NPN output
Dimension: 1.6cm (D) x 6.7cm (L)
 

Result from test:

5V can be use to power, maximum dectection distance is ~20cm
12V, maximum dectection distance is ~ 60cm
30V, maximum dectection distance is ~ 80cm
All above test is using Cytron\'s white box as obstacle, in our lab.
