TCRT5000 Infrared Reflectance Obstacle Avoidance Module

TCRT5000 sensors continuously emit infrared infrared emitting diodes, infrared rays emitted when not being reflected back or reflected back but the strength is not big enough, the phototransistor has been in a shutdown state, then the output modules is high, indicating diode remains off state; when the object appeared to be detected within the detection range of the infrared is reflected back and the intensity is large enough, the phototransistor saturated, then the output of the module is low, indicating the diode is lit.

• Fax paper shredders detection
