Infrared Proximity-Collision Sensor

Hardware Manual Rev 1r0

Detects objects as far as 25cm from the sensor

face. Infrared beam makes it relatively insensitive
to ambient light and color (of target object). Applications includes non contact object detection and
collision sensor for mobile robots.

FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS

5VDC power supply.
Oponal 7805 regulator for extended op
-eraon voltage of 7-9VDC.
25cm (10 inches) typical detecon range
2 IRDA sensors (1 for transmit and 1 for
receive).
1 TTL acve low logic output. (logic goes
low when an object is detected)

MAJOR COMPONENTS PRESENTATION & OPERATIONS

Figure 1. Proximity Collision Sensor and its major components

To test the proximity collision sensor, rst aach +5V power supply to the Pink Wire and negave
to the Green Wire, the Orange wire is for Logic Output logic goes low when an object is detected and
can be connected to microcontrollers or through PC printer port., now the power indicator will light (Green
LED), place your hand or any object in the front of the IrDA transmier or receiver (10 inches maximum), if
the sense indicator (Red LED) doesnt light, we will need the Signal Calibraon rotate the signal calibraon
parally either CW or CCW, then place again your hand or any object to detect, do this unl the sense indicator lighted. And the Foam for separaon of the two sensors, it is very important because when the foam
was lost and nothing to separate the sensors, the whole kit wont work.
