Frequently Asked Questions
Can this sensor handle inductive loads like motors or solenoids?
Yes, it switches DC loads up to 36 W at 12 V DC and 3 A, but for inductive devices with high inrush currents, we recommend adding a suppression diode or an inrush current limiter to protect the module.
How do I fine-tune the detection range?
The sensing distance is adjusted via the onboard potentiometer. Turn it clockwise to increase range or counterclockwise to decrease, then test by sweeping your hand at various distances until the desired trigger point is achieved.
Will it detect through a glass or acrylic panel?
Yes, the IR beam can penetrate non-metallic materials up to the set detection range (max 80 mm), making it suitable for installation behind glass, acrylic, ceramic, or plastic coverings.
