Optical low rinse-aid sensor (optional)
The optical low rinse-aid sensor consists of a transmitter diode and
a receiver diode.
A light beam is transmitted from the transmitter diode (A) to the
receiver diode (B) via a prism (C). If the dispenser is full, the light
beam in the prism is scattered. The received signal is weaker than
the transmitted one.
If the dispenser is empty, the light beam in the prism is reflected.
The received signal is the same as the transmitted signal.
The module evaluates the received signal and the refill indicator LED
is actuated.
