3.3 Sensitivity
The Digital Infrared Sensor has a sensing range of approximately 0cm to 30m for a white or
shiny color object. For a dark or black color object, the Digital Infrared Sensor has a sensing
range of approximately 2cm to25cm. It shows that the sensor will reflect more on a white
surface than a black surface. The sensor is designed to adjustable sensing range.When user
adjust the white preset (at the bottom of Digital Infrared Sensor, the range object detected
also change. If user adjust the preset to counter-clockwise, the detected range will less than
30cm. The more user adjust the preset to counter clockwise, the more short the Digital
Infrared sensor may detect object.
3.4 Test Result in Lab
We have tested the sensor in our lab with different voltage and here is the result.
Voltage, V
Maximum detectable distance (obstacle)
5V
20cm
12V
60cm
30V
80cm
All test is using Cytron’s packaging white color box as obstacle. Other object might have
different result as it depends on the reflective of Infrared of object surface. The above result
is just for reference.
